Chaowen said, it is okay to die at night" ("The Analects of Liren") is a very familiar sentence. This chapter of the Analects of Liren is not annotated in some university textbooks on ancient Chinese (e.g., Ancient Chinese edited by Wang Li, Ancient Chinese edited by Shen Xiangyuan, etc.). Without explanation, it may be that the editor thinks that the literal meaning of this sentence is not difficult to understand.

When we teach this chapter to college students, we first ask students to explain their understanding of this chapter in order to investigate, and we find that students basically interpret this sentence in this way: "If you hear (or understand) a truth (or truth) in the morning, you can die (or do) at night." If you ask, "Is it worth it to understand (or understand) a truth (or truth) and die?"

Are we willing to do that? Only then did the student realize that such an understanding was unreasonable. There are so many truths that a person has to understand in his life, and if he understands one and dies, he doesn't know how many times he will die.

At the same time, I understand that the truth is not to die, but to do things better. This sentence is not annotated by Yang Bojun's "Commentary on the Analects", but only translated: "If you learn the truth in the morning, if you want me to die that night, you can do it."

This is basically the same as the general understanding. People take this sentence for granted, but after careful study, they find that this understanding is not logical and logical, and it is originally a famous sentence with rich and profound connotations, but this understanding is boring. Therefore, we feel that it is necessary to further explore the connotation of this sentence.

Zi said that Confucius was right in his persistent pursuit of truth, and that a person can give his life without hesitation for his own pursuit, I think this is a personal self-choice, and I think it is right.

That's right. It shows that Confucius had the spirit of dedication to the pursuit of truth.

Confucius's persistent pursuit of truth must have been right. People should continue to learn and improve. It makes sense.

If the learning aspect is right, but if the life aspect is wrong, the learning aspect is to be ashamed to ask, that is, to get to the bottom of it, but the life aspect is difficult to be confused.

If life itself is not yours, your attachment is wrong! And the denial that life is one's own, in Buddhism, is called selflessness, and selflessness is actually the truth, and it is an undeniable fact! This is not called attachment to the truth, but renunciation of falsehood.

Yes, of course, there is no age limit for the pursuit of truth.

The so-called living to old age, learning is a kind of learning attitude, learning is endless, knowledge changes fate, there will be no mistake!

Confucius had his own obsessive pursuit, what he heard in the morning, and then when he died, he understood that it was also a happy thing in life.

Chaowen said that Twilight can die, in fact, it is Buddhist, such as Mu Jianlian, who gave up using his supernatural powers to resist the enemy and died voluntarily, and there is no proof that Confucianism can really do this kind of thing, so it may also be that Confucianism is deceiving people.

In fact, it is the three views that we call today, that life is short, so we must try to live a meaningful life, a meaningful life has nothing to do with the length of life, and we must realize the truth of life as early as possible, even if it is very short, it is worth it!

Chaowen said, death can be carried out. Interpretation: Smell the Tao in the morning and die in the evening.

Confucianism"...

Ziyuechao's death at the end of the day can show Confucius's persistent pursuit of truth, and this sentence is correct.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was written in the Analects of Liren: "Zi said: 'When you hear the Tao, you can die at night.'" So this sentence came from the hand of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism.

We know that Confucianism has a very great influence on China and even the world, and Confucius's remarks, including thoughts, are very connotative and philosophical. Therefore, to understand this sentence, we should not only understand the superficial meaning, but also understand the meaning behind it more deeply.

Literally, it roughly means: if you understand a certain truth in the morning, even if you die in the evening, you will have no regrets. This is also a common perception of many people.

But this is a philosophical verse, if understood in this way, it will become boring, and it is actually a bit counterintuitive to study it in detail, how can people die for the sake of ordinary truths? Therefore, we should further explore the connotation of this sentence.

In our time, "Dao" generally means truth or truth, but we should look at it from a historical perspective and understand it in a specific historical and linguistic environment, and the Confucian way of life is "the way of benevolence and righteousness".

Therefore, the sentence "Hearing the Tao in the morning, dying at night" can be literally translated as "I understand the way of benevolence and righteousness in the morning, even if I fight for it at night, I will die without regrets, and I will understand "I can die at night" with the relationship between "knowledge" and "action", unify the two, and this Tao cannot be understood too biasedly.

In our time, if we look at this sentence from the perspective of development, then it can be understood that even if we know some meaning of life or some truths and beliefs very late, and understand that they are more precious than life, then even if we need to sacrifice ourselves for them, there is nothing to regret!

Zi said: "When you hear the Tao, you can die at night", what is its cultural connotation?

1. Get rid of the incorrect understanding that "if you hear the Tao, you can die at night".

Most people probably take it literally. For example, it can be understood as "I heard or understood a truth (or true knowledge) in the morning, and it is okay to die at night." According to this understanding, if you can die if you understand a truth (or true knowledge), is it so good and worth it?

Obviously unreasonable and unreasonable. If you die every time you understand a truth, then there are indeed too many truths to understand in your life, and you will die many times. And to figure out or comprehend the great truth, not for the sake of dying, but for the sake of doing things better and implementing them.

Therefore, if we only understand it from the literal meaning, we will generalize and lose the meaning of culture and art itself. Chinese traditional culture has always been lofty in spiritual essence and meaning, and we must understand its essential meaning.

2. How to look at the "Tao" in the famous sayings of wisdom

The other words and phrases in the morning and the Tao can be carried out at night" are well understood, for example, "Chao" and "Xi" match, let's understand the "Tao". We often say that "the Tao is the Tao is very Tao", "quiet and non-action" or "Zen enlightenment", which shows the importance of "Tao" for everyone's daily life. "Dao" refers to "all laws, standards, principles or true knowledge in the universe"; The second refers to "the way to achieve a certain type of moral standard or conceptual norm", such as humanitarianism, the law of wolf nature, or the Three Thousand Avenues, etc., with an emphasis on "reaching the direction of success".

The Tao follows the moral standard of Confucian culture, "benevolence", that is, "gentleness, courtesy, and frugality." Mencius argues very clearly in the Analects that Mencius was willing to "die" for "benevolence", which was the "Tao" under the characteristics of that era.

Confucius traveled around the world all his life, not as an official, but only to practice the "Tao", but in his life he did not see the implementation of the "benevolent way", and he could not see the situation of "the great rule of the world". Despite Mencius's efforts, he still did not see the conclusion of "Dao" morality, which is also determined by the elements of the period. This is the Confucian way of life, "the law of loyalty and righteousness".

Over the years, the exploiting class has used the "law of loyalty and righteousness" to rectify the world; Humble gentlemen all take the "law of loyalty and righteousness" as the rule of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. Everyone always hears "full of courtesy, righteousness and shame", which now sounds like feudal society or hypocritical feelings. Therefore, the actual meaning of "Tao" is different in different time periods.

Nowadays, it can be regarded as "great truth or true knowledge", and in ancient times, it could be interpreted as "gentleness, courtesy, and frugality".

In fact, this is a theory of the unity of knowledge and action, and it is also a persistent pursuit of moral ideals and knowledge, if in the words of the ancient people, then it is the morning, if you can understand this truth, even if you die that night, then it is worth it.

The connotation of this sentence is that we should pay attention to practice in ordinary times, achieve the unity of knowledge and action, defend morality, sacrifice and dedication, and have a high moral cultivation.

To be a man to understand the truth, to be a man to understand the truth is not sooner or later, in time to abandon the wrong concept, people must abide by the law, constantly correct themselves, forge ahead, and finally achieve their goals.

1) The benevolent are not worried, and the brave are not afraid (key word: worry).

2) The eaves teeth are high peck, and the hook round eggplant friends are fighting (key words: eaves, peck) orange locust.

3) After the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather is late in autumn (key word: air).

4) There are three autumn laurels and ten lotus flowers in the group (key word: lotus).

Truth, insight, the true meaning of life.

Well, yes. Quite simply, the laws of nature.
