My Day and Three Reflections on My Body shows what kind of thinking and understanding Zeng Zi has 20

The idea of prudence and independence, righteousness and sincerity, and the autonomy of the three provinces.

Zeng Zi (505 BC 432 BC), surnamed Zeng, Ming Shen, Ziyu, was a native of Wucheng (Jiaxiang County, Jining, Shandong) in the late Spring and Autumn Period. At the age of sixteen, he worshipped Confucius as his teacher, and he was diligent and studious, and he was quite a true biography of Confucius. Actively promote Confucianism and spread Confucianism.

Confucius's grandson, Kong Ji (Zi Sizi), studied under Shengong and taught it to Mencius. Therefore, he has participated in the way of Confucius and the Mengzi school, and has inherited Confucius's Confucian thought, as well as developed and made achievements. His political outlook on cultivating Qi and Zhiping, the concept of self-cultivation and prudence and independence, and the concept of filial piety based on filial piety have influenced China for more than 2,000 years, and still have valuable social significance and practical value, and are rich in ideological and moral cultivation for building a harmonious society today.

He wrote "University" and "The Book of Filial Piety", etc., and later generations of Confucians respected him as a "sage".

Zeng Zi said: "My day and three provinces and my body - to seek for others but not to be loyal? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? ”

Zeng Zi said: "I reflect on my words and deeds many times a day, is it not enough to think for others? Is it not honest enough to associate with friends? Has the knowledge imparted by the teacher been reviewed? ”

The world is chaotic, bustling, the heart is moved by external interests, and almost loses the true self; Materialistic desires are rampant, and even people's hearts are not ancient; Seek external desires and ignore inner integrity. How to deal with turbidity crosscurrents? Confucius advocated that people should seek harmony with others in the world, and first seek oneself when seeking others

Did I do it? In this way, we will influence and guide the world. In Confucianism, the concept of having existence is not empty, but the real existence of the individual and his sincere concern for the whole.

It is precisely because of the overall consciousness of society that people can always feel human beings and human nature, and feel a sense of historical and social mission; Because of the moral foundation of benevolence, the human personality can form the collective will of fraternity, and the collective will drives the continuous reflection of the individual. Therefore, it shows that Confucianism's pursuit of individual personality is completed in the perfection of collective personality.

Zengzi masturbates three times a day to show that Zengzi wants to keep improving.

1. Translation of "Zeng Zi said that I have three provinces on my body": Zeng Zi said that I reflect on myself many times a day, whether I do my best for others, whether I associate with friends, whether I am honest and trustworthy, and whether I have practiced the knowledge imparted.

2, my day and three provinces and my body, from "The Analects of Learning", the author Zeng Zi. Zeng Zi said: "My day and three provinces and my body - to seek for others but not to be loyal? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? ”

Translation: There is no other way to be diligent than perseverance. Although a good horse is good at running, it is tired and exhausted, and it will stop halfway.

The bad horse walks slowly, without stopping, but arrives first. Therefore, if you want to do something, learn a skill, and really improve it, you will definitely succeed one day, (the key) is to be good at using energy. Now some people have the ambition to study, and they have been working hard to study, day and night, and after dozens of days, the feeling of slackness gradually arises, and finally they abandon their studies.

Confucius said, "Being too impatient will not achieve the goal." Mencius said, "Those who advance too hard will retreat quickly", and this is what he said.

There was a man who planted a tree, and the foliage of the tree was so dense and fruitful that no one else could catch up with him. When asked about his experience in planting trees, he said, "I don't have any ingenious methods, but I just identify the physical properties, identify the suitable soil, cultivate the soil and apply the fertilizer regularly, and irrigate and water at the right time."

When a sapling is first planted, most people look at it carefully in the morning and evening, but I listen to nature and don't seem to care. It's been a long time since I planted fruit trees, and others have long been tired of it and forgotten, but I'm more diligent. ”

A man in the Song Kingdom who was worried that the seedlings would grow slowly, so he pulled them up one by one, and returned home tiredly and said to his family: "I am tired today, I have helped the seedlings grow taller." And his son hurried to the field, but the seedlings withered.

By examining these two things, we will know the truth of learning knowledge and delving into knowledge. If you are firm in your ambition and single-minded in your approach to things, it must not be about only one day's gain and progress, and you can boast of your own merits and results. For the purpose of a hundred miles of road, the rapid walking of 90 miles stops, and it cannot be said that it has been reached.

Career seeks to make up for it, and hard work focuses on achieving results.

Meaning: Zeng Tzu said: "I have to examine myself many times a day: Have I been faithful in my counsel for others? Are you honest in your dealings with friends? Do you often review what the teacher taught?
