Sima Qian commented on Confucius, what was Sima Qian s evaluation of Confucius

The mountains look up, and the scenery stops.

Taishi Gong said: There is a poem: "The mountains look up, and the scenery stops."

Although I can't get there, I want to go home. Yu read Kong's book and wanted to see him as a person. Shilu, Guanzhongni temple car dress ritual utensils, all living beings to learn their home in time, and the rest can not go to the clouds when they return.

As for the kings of the world, there are many sages, and they are glorious at that time, but they are gone. Confucius cloth clothes, passed down for more than ten generations, scholars Zongzhi. Since the prince of heaven, the Chinese dialect of the six artists compromised with the master, which can be described as the most holy!

Translation: Tai Shi Gong said: There are such words in the Book of Songs:

Looking up at the towering peaks, it's really fascinating! Looking at the avenue that leads to the sky, I can't help but step forward! "Even if I can't reach that high and far, my heart yearns for it!"

I read the book of Confucius and imagined that he was like this! I have been to Confucius's hometown of Ludi, and I saw all kinds of clothes and ritual utensils in the ancestral hall dedicated to Confucius, where Confucian scholars regularly learned etiquette, and I couldn't help but linger with respect and was reluctant to leave. There are many emperors and even virtuous people in the world, all of whom were prominent during their lifetimes, and they were gradually forgotten by the world after their deaths.

Only Confucius, although he is a cloth cloth, can be passed down for more than ten generations, and scholars still worship him. From the Son of Heaven to princes and generals, those who study the Six Classics in the Central Plains are all based on the doctrine of Confucius, and they can really be regarded as the greatest figures among the sages!

It can be seen that Sima Qian's evaluation of Confucius is quite high.

Note: When I say "Jingxing", it means "noble character", and I will use the interpretation here as "Dalu".

Summary. The mountains look up, and the scenery stops. Taishi Gong admired Confucius very much, and humbly said in the "Historical Records": Although he can't reach the mountain of Confucius, he yearns for it in his heart, and after reading Confucius's books, he wants to become a person like him.

The reason why Sima Qian admired Confucius.

The mountains look up, and the scenery stops. Taishi Gong admired Confucius very much, and humbly said in the "Historical Records": Although he can't reach the mountain of Confucius, he yearns for it in his heart, and after reading Confucius's books, he wants to become a person like him.

Judging from Sima Qian's super-standard "treatment" of Confucius, we should know that in order to become a saint, we must not only have subjective conditions (character, knowledge, etc.), but also objective conditions (the social environment at the time, etc.). The endless power of beauty in traditional Chinese culture, like the power of Confucius's personality shown to us by Sima Qian, is deeply influenced by history and culture in all fields. Knowing that he can't do it, he insists on his beliefs, how can such a Confucian saint not make people "admire the mountains" like Sima Qian's fascination?

Sima Qian was impressed by Confucius's charisma.

Sima Qian described Confucius's physiognomy in the "Historical Records": his forehead was like Yao, his neck was like Gaotao, his shoulders were like a child's birth, his figure from the waist down was less than three inches of Yu, and he was tired like a lost dog. The tired body and haggard face of Confucius when he traveled around the world are vividly portrayed, which also shows that Confucius was depressed at that time.

However, these appearances did not make Sima Qian's image of Confucius discounted, on the contrary, Sima Qian admired Confucius's unusually ordinary image of cloth, although Confucius was a ragged man, but his doctrine endured.

From ordinary scholars to the Son of Heaven, all those who study the "Six Arts" are judged by the doctrine of Confucius. Obviously, Confucius's scholarly contributions were admired by Sima Qian. But more importantly, Confucius had the spiritual character of knowing what he could not do.

Confucius traveled around the world, and the name of traveling was actually to look for the soil suitable for the implementation of his thoughts. Although Confucius did not have ambitions, he would not lower his requirements for himself, insisted on his beliefs, and even if he advocated not being ruled, he still persisted, showing the cultivation of a gentleman.
