What are the historical stories of Confucius?

As we all know, Confucius was a great educator, but he was also a musician. He could sing and compose music on the piano. When he sings with others, if they sing well, he must sing again, listen to himself and then make up. His educational policy is not to cultivate some bookworms who study hard, but to cultivate all-round talents.

Confucius studied piano with Shi Xiang. One day, Shi Xiang gave him a tune to practice by himself. He practiced for ten days, but still didn't want to stop. Shi Xiang couldn't help it and said, "You can practice with another tune." Confucius replied, "Although I am familiar with its melody, I haven't touched its rules yet." . After a while, Shi Xiang said, "You've got the pattern. You can practice in a different tune." Unexpectedly, Confucius replied, "I haven't understood its musical image yet." After a period of time, Shi Xiang found that Confucius looked dignified and his body was in harmony, as if he were a different person. This time, without waiting for the teacher to ask questions, he said, "I have realized the image of music." He is dark-skinned, tall and far-sighted, and seems to have the air of a king. This person must belong to King Wen. " Shi Xiang was surprised, because this song happened to be called King Cao Wen, and he didn't tell Confucius beforehand.

Confucius is also a first-class music connoisseur. According to legend, "Shao" is a music and dance in the Yao and Shun era. Confucius never had a chance to listen in Lu, and finally enjoyed it at a palace banquet in Qi. Confucius was so fascinated by this solemn music that he didn't know the taste of March meat. He said, "If you don't want to be happy, you will be happy."

Judge people only by their appearance.

Confucius had many disciples, one of whom was Zaiyu, who was eloquent. At first, he had a good impression on Confucius, and then he gradually revealed the truth: he was neither kind nor very lazy; Don't read and listen in broad daylight, but sleep in bed. To this end, Confucius called him "a rotten wood cannot be carved." Another disciple of Confucius, named Lian Ming, is a native of Shandong, thirty-nine years younger than Confucius. Yuzi is ugly and wants to serve Confucius. Confucius began to think that he had low qualifications and would not succeed. However, after studying under a famous teacher, he returned with great concentration to cultivate himself, doing things aboveboard and not taking evil paths; Never go to the doctor for business. Later, Yu Zi came to the Yangtze River with 300 disciples. His reputation is very high, and his name is recited by various vassal States. When Confucius heard about this, he said with emotion: "I only judge people's quality and ability by words, and as a result, my judgment on Zaiyu is wrong;" I only judge people's quality and ability by their appearance, and as a result, I was wrong about feathers again. "

Confucius corrected his mistake.

Confucius led Luz, Zi Gong, Yan Yuan and other students to travel around the world, giving lectures and preaching. One day, they came to the foot of Quyang Mountain. Teachers and students got off the bus, with Zi Gong in front, Confucius behind, Lutz, Yan Yuan and other students behind. Confucius tried his best to climb to the top of the mountain and looked east, only to see the sky connected with water and the water connected with the sky. What a big sea! At this time, there was a sudden thunder and lightning in the sky, and a storm came on. Luz shouted, "Oh, no, where can I hide from the rain?" I saw an old fisherman with a fishing net in his left hand, a fishing fork in his right hand, a fish basket on his shoulder and a gourd around his waist. As he walked, he met him and said, "Don't panic, come with me!" "

The old fisherman took Confucius and his students to a cave. This cave faces the sea, which is where the old fishermen hide and fish. Confucius felt a little stuffy in the cave, so he went to the mouth of the cave and watched the sea view in the rain. When he looked at it, his poems were full of enthusiasm, and he couldn't help singing: the wind blew the sea ... a thousand waves, and the rain hit the beach ... ten thousand pits. The old fisherman listened to these two poems and said, "Sir, what you said is wrong!" " Confucius asked, "What's the matter?" The old fisherman said, "A thousand waves and ten thousand pits are not suitable. Is there only a thousand waves in the sea and no more or less beaches? Have you counted them, sir? " Confucius wanted to hear his opinion, so he quickly asked, "Brother, what do you think?" The old fisherman said, "It's better to change it to this:' The wind blows the waves and the rain hits the beach.' There are countless waves and pits that make sense. Right? "

Confucius was convinced and was about to say a few words of praise. Unexpectedly, Lutz caught fire on the side and said to the old fisherman, "Alas, a saint writes poetry, how can he change it indiscriminately!" The old fisherman was angry, too, and asked sharply, "Who is a saint?" Lutz pointed to Confucius and said, "Far away, just around the corner. This is Confucius and Confucius! " Confucius stopped him: "Luz, don't be proud! Don't be rude! " The old fisherman patted Lutz on the shoulder and said, "Young man, saints have the knowledge of saints, but they are not necessarily better than others in everything!" " Confucius called the students together and said seriously, "I told you before that you were born with knowledge." This is not right! Everyone should remember: knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also! " After that, I recited a poem: Climb the mountain to see the sea, and the plug will suddenly open. If the sage is wrong, he should stop wandering. From then on, the villagers renamed Quyang Mountain Kongwangshan.

Young people should be respected.

When Confucius was traveling, he met three children, two of whom were playing and the other was standing by. Confucius was surprised and asked the standing child why he didn't play with the big family. The child replied seriously: "fierce fighting will hurt people's lives, and pandering will also hurt people's bodies; To say the least, tearing clothes is no good. So I don't want to play with them. What's strange about this? " After a while, the child made a castle out of mud and sat in it himself. He didn't come out for a long time, and he didn't make way for Confucius who was ready to leave. Confucius couldn't help asking,' Why don't you avoid the car when you are sitting inside? ""I only heard that cars are everywhere in the city. I have never heard that the castle wants to avoid cars! " The child said. Confucius was surprised that such a young child could speak so well, so he praised him and said, "You know a lot at such a young age. "The child replied," I heard that fish can swim for three days, rabbits can run in the fields for three days, and horses can walk with mares for three days. These are all natural. Confucius sighed and said, "Alas, now I know that young people are really amazing!" " "

Haste makes waste

Xia Zi is a student of Confucius. One year, Xia Zi was sent to Juxian as a local official. Before he left, he went to visit his teacher and asked Confucius, "Excuse me, how can we manage a place well?" Confucius cheerfully said to Xia Zi, "Governing a place is a very complicated matter. However, as long as you grasp the root cause, it will be very simple. " After explaining some things that should be paid attention to to to Xia Zi, Confucius repeatedly told him: "Haste makes waste. Haste makes waste. "When you see a small profit, you can't be a big deal. "The meaning of this passage is: don't simply pursue speed, don't covet small profits. Pursue speed without paying attention to the effect, and can't achieve the goal; If you only care about short-term interests and don't talk about long-term interests, you can't do great things. Xia Zi said that he must obey the teacher's instructions and bid farewell to Confucius. Later, "haste makes waste" came down as a proverb, which is often used to explain that being too eager for quick success is counterproductive and fails to achieve the goal.

Go through the hall and enter the inner room ―― gain profound knowledge

Confucius was a great thinker, politician and educator in ancient China. During his 40-year study career, he received more than 3,000 disciples, including 72 famous disciples. Luz is one of 72 disciples. Lutz said to Confucius, I am like a straight bamboo pole, and I was born with a good arrow. Why are you still studying? Confucius enlightened him that reading makes people learned. It's like adding a feather to bamboo arrows's tail and a sharp metal head in front, so the arrow is more useful. After listening to what Confucius said was very reasonable, Lutz worshipped Confucius as his teacher. On one occasion, Luz played the harp in Confucius' house. He is brave, and his pop-up voice is as murderous as a fight. Confucius advocated "benevolence" and "moderation". Naturally, he felt his voice was uneven and dissatisfied. He said, "Why does he play the harp in my house?" When Confucius' younger brother heard the teacher's words, he understood that it was a bad comment on Lutz's playing the piano. His opinion of Luz suddenly changed, and his words were a bit rude. After Confucius knew it, he explained to the scholars: "Lutz's ability to play the piano has gone to the hall, but he has not yet entered the inner room." He has made some achievements, but he has not yet reached a profound position. "
