Which student of Confucius does the story of the Three Seasons refer to?

Zigong. Confucius.

A student was sweeping the floor outside the door, and a guy came up to him and asked, "What are you doing?" The student replied, I am a student of Confucius. Someone said, "Do you know how many seasons there are in a year?" Confucius's students replied, the four seasons.

No, it's three seasons! The student laughed, of course it's four seasons, how can it be three seasons? The person who came to continue said that it was three seasons.

The two argued over this. So I made a bet: if it is three seasons, the students have always kowtowed three times; If it is the four seasons, someone will kowtow to the students three times.

The two were about to ask Confucius, when Confucius came over. The two asked questions, and Confucius pointed to the students and said, It's three seasons, kowtow! The student looked ignorant, but he was afraid of Confucius, so he had to kowtow three times.

After the people left, the students were very depressed. Confucius said, you didn't look at the man just now, he was green, he was a grasshopper.

Grasshoppers are born in the spring and die in the fall, how does he know that there is still a winter? So in his eyes, there are only three seasons in a year. If you don't kowtow to him, your two arguments won't end for a day, what's the point of delaying time to study?

A man went to visit Confucius's house, and Confucius's protégé stopped him and asked him what was the matter. The man said, "I would like to ask sir, how many seasons are there in a year?"

Confucius's protégé said that there are of course four seasons in a year. The man retorted, no, there are three seasons a year. The two men argued, each refusing to give in, and finally the two made a bet to ask Confucius for advice in person, and if anyone lost, they would kowtow to the other party.

After listening to the argument between the two, Confucius said, "There are three seasons a year." The man was very proud, so he asked Confucius's protégé to kowtow to him.

Confucius's protégé kowtowed three times to the man helplessly. The man happily left. Confucius's protégé was very puzzled.

Confucius said indifferently, didn't you see that the man's whole body was green? He was like a grasshopper, which was born in the spring and died in the fall, and never saw winter. You talk about three seasons, and he will be satisfied.

What is the point of talking about the four seasons and making noise until night? He is just a "three-season man", you suffer a small loss, it is okay.

In the morning, Zigong cleaned the yard at the gate of the compound. Someone came and asked Zigong, "Are you a student of Confucius?" Zigong replied, "Yes." What do you have to say? I heard that Confucius was a famous teacher, so you must also be a high disciple, right? ”

Ashamed. Then I want to ask you a question, I don't know if it's okay? Zigong replied very cheerfully

Good. Actually, my question is very simple. That is, how many seasons are there in a year?

The four seasons. Zigong replied with a smile. "No, there are only three seasons a year!

The four seasons. "Three seasons!! The four seasons.

Zigong is right. "Three seasons!! The person who came showed no weakness.

And then there was an argument that went on and on for a long time. Confucius heard the voice and came out of the courtyard, and Zigong stepped forward to explain the reason and let Confucius evaluate. Confucius did not answer at first, but after observing for a while, he said:

It is true that there are only three seasons in a year. When the visitor saw this, he laughed and left. After the visitor left, Zigong hurriedly asked the teacher:

How many seasons should the year be? Confucius replied: "Four seasons" Zigong was puzzled.

Confucius then said: "At this time, unlike just now, the person was dressed in green. He was clearly a grasshopper in the field.

Grasshoppers, born in spring and dying in autumn, have only experienced spring, summer, and autumn in their lives, and have never seen winter? So in his mind, there is no concept of 'winter' at all. If you fight with such a person for three days and three nights, there will be no result. ”

The Three Seasons refer to those who are unreasonable.

The story of the Three Seasons refers to a man who visits Confucius's house, and Confucius's protégé stops him and asks him what is the matter. The man said, "I would like to ask sir, how many seasons are there in a year?"

Confucius's protégé said that there are of course four seasons in a year. The man retorted that there are three seasons in a year. The two people argued, each refusing to give in, and finally the two made a bet to ask Confucius for advice in person, and if anyone lost, they would kowtow to each other.

After listening to the argument between the two, Confucius said, "Three seasons a year." The man was very proud, so he asked Confucius's protégé to kowtow to him. Confucius's protégé kowtowed three times to the man helplessly.

The man happily left. Confucius's protégé was very puzzled. Confucius said indifferently

He was like a grasshopper, which was born in the spring and died in the fall, and never saw winter. You talk about three seasons, and he will be satisfied. What is the point of talking about the four seasons and making noise until night?

He is a three-season person, you eat a little to close and let a small loss, no problem.

The story of Confucius and the "Three Seasons People".

One day more than 2,400 years ago, Old Master Kong was taking a lunch break when he was woken up by the excited chirping outside the window, although he tried to suppress his voice as much as possible, but through the excitement of quarreling.

Confucius looked out the window and saw that Zilu was arguing with a visitor about something, and Zilu, who had never been angry, was already red-faced. Confucius was about to go out to see what was going on, only to hear Zilu patiently explain to the visitor again: "There are four seasons in a year, four seasons, this is the rotation of heaven, understand?"

In spring, everything recovers, and the farmer sows seeds; In summer, the rain and dew are moistened, and all things grow; In autumn, the matter is dry and cool, the fruit millet bears fruit, and the farmer harvests; In winter, the weather is cold and the ground is cold, things are dormant, and people are fallow. Therefore, there are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Got it?

The reincarnation of heaven cannot be done by people, understand? ”

Confucius stroked his beard and smiled slightly, "Well, Zilu is good." However, it seems to be a little impatient, and you must be patient for the teacher, this subway. ”

I didn't want to come, but I got annoyed and said loudly: "You're not right! There are obviously three seasons in a year, only spring, summer, and autumn, but you make up a winter to deceive people! ”

Zilu said: "I have already told you three times, there are four seasons in a year, and the way of heaven is like this, no one can change it!" How come you always don't understand such a simple question? ”

The man said, "Let's make a bet, if Confucius says that there are three seasons in a year, you have to kowtow to me; If he wants to say that the year is four seasons, I will kowtow to you three times! ”

Zilu sneered and said, "That's really embarrassing, I can only bear your ringing!" When the teacher wakes up from his lunch break, you ask. ”

The people shouted: "Three seasons a year, seize the day, who is impatient to wait!" Old Master! Old Master! ”

Zilu was about to cover the mouth of the visitor, but when he saw the teacher coughing and pacing out. Without waiting for someone to ask, Confucius had already spoken: "Zilu, this gentleman is right, he only has three seasons a year!" Kneel down and kowtow! ”

Zilu was about to argue, but he heard Confucius shouting: "Zilu, don't kneel down yet!" ”

It's hard to disobey the teacher's fate! Zilu, who was full of grievances, choked out tears overflowing his eyes, knelt on the ground unconvinced, and kowtowed to the "Three Seasons"! The man also knew how to be polite, stretched out his hand to help Zilu, gave Confucius a deep bow, turned around and walked away.

Looking at Zilu, who was almost angry, Confucius stroked his beard, smiled softly, and said: "Zilu, for a 'three-season person', you have to explain to him the four seasons of the year, so how can he understand the four seasons of the year when he is stinging in winter!" You're sorry for him! ”

When Zilu heard this, he had an epiphany, and said deeply to the teacher: "Teacher Xie for your guidance!" The sub-road is wrong! ”

A certain person is dull, although he understands but cannot understand, so he is often angry, angry that he does not know that he has been dormant for a season, and he is angry at his own incompetence, and he can never make him know. However, not only can his own anger not make him know but also provoke him to be angry, this anger hurts himself and hurts him, he is depressed and unhappy, and he will hurt his liver and spleen over time, but what can he do!

Sanji people, that is, to refer to ignorant people, are sometimes used in a derogatory sense.

In 2009, Professor Zeng Shiqiang of National Taiwan University said in the series of programs "The Mystery of the Book of Changes" at the Hundred Lectures, "I used to be angry when I saw those unreasonable people, but now I won't, I think in my heart, Sanji people, I'll be fine." Anything when you want to lose your temper, when you are emotionally unstable, three seasons, you are at peace.

Sanji people, referring to ignorant people, the so-called "summer insects can't talk ice".

Chao, Zigong sprinkled and swept, and when the guest arrived, he asked: "Master?" "Said:

Mr. Ho Lo? He said, "Ask the time."

Zigong saw it and said: "I know it." The guest said:

What is the season of the year? He replied with a smile: "Four seasons also."

The guest said: "Three seasons." Then the discussion continued, and the lunch did not stop.

Zi heard the sound and came out, Zigong asked, but the master didn't answer at first, and then said: "Three seasons also." "Be happy and happy, laugh at the master.

When Zigong asked, Zi said: "Four seasons." "Zigong is different.

Zi said: "This is not that time, Kebi is pale and white, grasshoppers in the field, born in spring and died in autumn, how can I see winter?" When the Son talks about it, it will not stop for three days.

Zigong thought so.

In fact, judging from the handed down documents, it seems that Confucius in history did not advocate "talking about people when he sees people, and talking about ghosts when he sees ghosts". The first of his three principles of friendship ("three friends of the beneficiary") is "straight". He once said that "clever words, Lingse, Xian Zhiren", "Clever words, Lingse, full respect, Zuoqiu is ashamed, Qiu is also ashamed", and thinks that liking to follow other people's "hometown wishes" is "a thief of virtue".

In the face of a friend's mistakes, you should "give advice and do good." Even if the other party does not listen to persuasion, the plan B given by Confucius is just "unstoppable", and there is no reason to follow the nonsense of others at all.
