Comments: Confucianism equates "man" with "benevolence" and thinks that man is a man and a benevolent person. What is a benevolent person? Not bad! Heaven and earth are upright and human nature is good, which is the eternal "law of gravity" for the operation of the universe and the growth of all things. Classic quotes: Lin Zexu's famous quotes are complete, and Lin Zexu's personal profile information. If you have ulterior motives and go against the sky, you will undoubtedly bring about your own destruction. "Feng Shui is useless", that is, people are not good and do more injustice, which not only humiliates their ancestors, but also harms their descendants. The so-called bad intentions have no good consequences. If your own fault harms the reputation of your ancestors and harms future generations, isn't it heinous!
Second, parents are unfilial and it is useless to serve God.
Comments: There are three greatest "loves" in life. One is the love of relatives, the other is the love of lovers, and the other is the love of friends, or in short, affection, love and friendship. Affection is warm, love is lingering and friendship is sincere, but if we want to distinguish which of the three is the most selfless, it is the love of relatives-the love of parents! Our parents' love for us is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea. We can't repay our parents' kindness! Filial piety comes first. No matter how much you have achieved and how many auras you have put on your head, if you are unfilial to your parents, all your honors will be eclipsed. It's no use serving God. If you are unfilial to your parents, then no matter how pious and admirable you are to God, everything is false. Confucius said, stay away from ghosts and gods; And he said, filial piety is also the foundation of people! The sanctity of parents is beyond God's reach. If you want to worship god, why bother to go far!
Third, it's useless to make friends if brothers don't get along.
Comments: Brothers here can be understood as brothers and sisters including cousins. If brothers and sisters can't get along well, why make friends? Many people (including me) have the experience that it is polite and honest to make friends abroad; Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to meet my brothers and sisters at home and even speak ill of each other. Nowadays, eugenics is advocated, and many people have no brothers or sisters. If they are lucky enough to have one or two brothers and sisters, why not cherish them?
Fourth, misconduct, reading is useless.
Comments: Confucius said that ancient scholars read for themselves, and today scholars read for themselves. It means that ancient scholars read for themselves, and today's scholars read for others. What about being a man? For parents, for the market, for money and reputation, for work and occupation, reading has become a tool, and reading has become a means to achieve others' goals. Now we should realize that reading is not for others, but for ourselves! What about yourself? Learn to store energy, cultivate benevolence internally and manners externally. In the words of modern Marx, it is to realize the all-round and free development of human beings.
