Later generations respectfully called him Kong Wenzi. Confucius's student Zigong was also a patriot, but he did not think that Kong Yu deserved such a high evaluation. Once, he asked Confucius:

Although Kong Yuan's knowledge and talent are very high, there are many more outstanding people than him, why did he give Kong Yuan the title of 'Duke of Wen'? Confucius smiled and said: "Confucius is very diligent and studious, smart and flexible, and if there is anything he doesn't understand, even if the other party's status or knowledge is not as good as him, he will ask for advice generously and modestly, and he will not be ashamed of it at all, this is what he is rare about, so it is not inappropriate to give him the title of 'Duke Wen'."

Original. Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask.

Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing.

Knowing it tacitly, never getting tired of learning, never tireless of teaching.

I am not born to know, so ancient, and I am also a keen one.

If you can't learn, you're afraid of losing it.

I don't eat all day long, I don't sleep all night, thinking about it, it's useless, it's better to learn.

Translation of the Analects.

A person who is gifted and intelligent and eager to learn is not ashamed to ask for advice from a person who is lower in status and less knowledgeable than himself.

To know is to know, not to know is not to know, and that is true wisdom.

Silently remember what you have learned, learn not to feel satisfied, and teach people not to know fatigue.

I once said that reading should pay attention to the "three to", that is, when reading, we should pay attention, read carefully, and read. If the mind is not in the book, then the eye will not look closely; Since the mind and the eye are not focused and unified, but they just read casually, then they will not remember, and even if they do, they will not remember for long. Of the three, the heart is the most important.

If the mind is focused, will the eyes and mouth still be unfocused?

To read, a scholar must first have ambition, second, knowledge, and third, perseverance. If you have ambitions, you are not willing to be indecent; If you have knowledge, you know that there is no end to learning, and you don't dare to be self-satisfied with a little experience, like the river watching the sea, and the frog at the bottom of the well watching the sky, which is uninsightful; If you have perseverance, there must be nothing you can't do. Ambition, knowledge, and perseverance are all indispensable.

1. Translation: Zigong asked: "Why did you give Kong Wenzi the nickname 'Wen'?" Confucius said: "He was intelligent, diligent, and studious, and was not ashamed to ask for advice from people of lower status and less knowledge, so he called him 'Wen'." ”

2. Original text: Zigong asked: "How does Confucius call it Wenye?" The clan limb said: "Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask, is to say the text." From "The Analects of Gongye Chang 15th".

This quote is from the Analects. Gongye Long Story", the original text is: Zigong asked: Sen Jingxun "Why does Kong Wenzi mean it?" Zi said: "Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask this question, it is to say that the text is also." ”

Kong Wenzi, the great doctor of the Wei Guo Kong 圉 (pronounced yǔ), "文" is a nickname, and "子" is an honorific title. He was smart and studious, and very humble and modest, so after his death, the monarch of the country gave him the nickname "Wenzi", and later generations called him "Confucius Wenzi".

Sensitive and studious, and not ashamed to ask questions means that trembling knows that people who are gifted and intelligent and studious. Don't be ashamed to ask for advice from people who are lower in status and less educated than you. From "The Analects of Gongye":

Zigong asked: "Why does Confucius call it Wenye?" Zi said:

Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask. It is also a text. ”

Therefore, there are those who are diligent and inquisitive, and it is difficult for people to cover it. Kong Yu has to be a text, that's all. Its origin is:

Although Kong Wenzi's virtue was not good, "Kong Wenzi made his uncle sick and his wife was married." Rushing through the first wife's Di, Wenzi is angry and will attack it. Visiting Zhongni, Zhongni is not right, and his fate is driving.

Rushing to the Song Dynasty, Wenzi made the widow of his brother Kong Yao, but he was still called "Wen", which inevitably made Zigong feel puzzled. And Confucius clearly distinguishes between right and wrong, and does not deny his precious merits. Tell Zigong the reason for his admonition - although he is smart and has a high land position, he is not ashamed to ask, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
