What are the similarities and differences between Mencius s gentleman s long distance kitchen and th

Gentleman Far Cooking: Save the kindness and compassion in your heart, and avoid seeing chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, etc. being slaughtered, which makes people's hearts become cruel. Mencius believed that all human beings have compassion and compassion, and when they see their fellow human beings suffering or animals being slaughtered, they will have unbearable feelings, and this unbearable heart is the germ of kindness.

But if people stay in the kitchen for a long time and see too many animals being killed, the unbearable heart will slowly wear out, and the kindness will be lost.

The precept of not killing: In the same way, in order to preserve the goodness of people, not only should you not kill yourself, but also avoid seeing others killing, and after seeing it, you should admonish. Siddhartha begged for food and ate meat as he pleased, but he thought that if he hadn't seen the animal killed, if he hadn't had the motivation to kill it, the meat would be as clean as the vegetables.

When he saw the slain creature and ate its flesh, it was the beginning of cruelty and the annihilation of goodness. Later, in order to maintain a more thorough purity of mind and body, Buddhism had a stricter precept, that is, a complete vegetarian. Of course, there are a few areas where there is a problem with the production of vegetables and vegetables, the environment is relatively harsh, and a completely vegetarian diet is not good for health, so the congregation will keep eating meat, but in any case, they must abstain from unclean meat – the meat that is taken from seeing living beings being killed is not pure.

It can be seen that the gentleman's cooking has the same starting point as Buddhism not killing.

I'll give it a try.

Gentlemen are officials and engage in politics, Mencius was afraid that gentlemen would be greedy for kitchen delicacies and fall into vulgarity and could not extricate themselves, which is the same as the ink sorrow: the influence of the environment on people.

Buddhism does not kill living beings based on benevolence and fairness for the world's compassion team species, to the effect that these creatures you killed were your parents and brothers a few years ago--- to the effect that this is the case.

No life, no death, no death, eternity.

It is impossible not to kill, unless there is no life.

The gentleman cooks far away, one step at a time.

Some people faint blood, which is one of them;

Fear of hurting oneself is the second;

Concern about dirt and clothing is the third;

Far from the smell of blood, is the fourth;

Fear of eating and drinking is the fifth;

Fear of inner numbness is the sixth;

Xiuqing's high profile is the seventh.

Eating habits are just that, there is no essential difference.

Gentlemen and dignified men who do great things should stay away from the kitchen, and women are the masters of the kitchen.

The literal meaning of this sentence is that a gentleman should stay away from the place where he kills and cooks.

In addition to the literal meaning, there is another meaning: the person who works in the kitchen should not be a gentleman. Because most chefs are butchers, killing chickens and ducks is not what civilized people should do.

A gentleman should be well-dressed, with a smile on his face, a book in his hand, and four books and five classics in his mouth, not a butcher's coarse clothes and grease, with a fierce light in his eyes, a knife in his hand, and a fat one in his mouth.

Thus, the gentleman is a civilized person, and the butcher is a vulgar person, and the distinction between civilization and vulgarity is so simple. People yearn for civilized people and disdain the vulgar. And so many uncivilized people will also find a beautiful dress, dress themselves up as Chu Chu and move, and pretend to be a civilized person.

Therefore, the chef must be a gentleman.

It's that the gentleman should stay away from the kitchen and other vulgar places....

Final sentence: This is why the gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Far away: Adjective as a verb, far away.

Virtuous people treat animals, they don't want to see it dead when they see it alive, and they can't bear to eat its meat when they hear its cry, so virtuous people stay away from cooks.

A virtuous man can not bear to see a bird or beast die; When they hear its voice, they cannot bear to eat its flesh. Therefore the gentleman does not approach the kitchen.

Translation- A gentleman can't bear to see beasts alive and cheerful, and he can't bear to see them die; When I hear them wailing and screaming, I can't bear to eat their flesh anymore. Because of this, a gentleman should place his kitchen far away from himself. ”

From "Mencius" "Liang Hui Wang Chapter Sentence I". The so-called "gentleman is far away from cooking" is just talking about a psychological state that can't bear to kill. That is, the psychology of King Qi Xuan's "exchanging sheep for cattle", because he saw with his own eyes that the cow was about to be killed but did not see the sheep about to be killed.

Out of sight is pure", so the gentleman stayed away from the kitchen where chickens and ducks were slaughtered.

I'm afraid it's not so simple, the state of mind of the saint and the gentleman, that's what you and I ordinary people can figure out.

Because chickens and sheep are often slaughtered in the kitchen, and people often see these bloody scenes, people often see the scenes of killing animals, and over time, their sympathy and compassion will slowly fade, and they will become accustomed to nature.

The gentleman is far away from the kitchen", it was Mencius who exhorted King Xuan of Qi to practice benevolence.

The meaning of this sentence is: A gentleman is always away from the kitchen.

Source: Mencius's "Liang Hui Wang Zhangju" during the Warring States Period

Excerpt from the original text: Said: "There is no injury, it is a benevolent technique, and the cow is not seen the sheep." A gentleman is also to beasts, seeing their life, and not being able to bear to see their death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. ”

Translation: Mencius said, "It doesn't matter.

The king's inpatience is a sign of mercy, because you saw the cow with your own eyes and not the sheep. A gentleman can't bear to see birds and beasts die when he sees them alive; When I heard them cry, I could not bear to eat their flesh. So, the gentleman always stays away from the kitchen.

The literal meaning of this sentence is that a gentleman should stay away from the place where he kills and cooks.

In fact, the standard of a good man is to take care of his family, have a sense of responsibility, and be able to cook is worthy of praise. The ancients have a positioning of the status of men and women, that is, the male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside, and the male ambition is in all directions, which is a manifestation of male superiority and female inferiority.

That is to say, do not kill anything flesh with your own hands, and promote "gentleman and cook" as a benevolent virtue. However, many people in later generations misinterpreted the reasonable core of the sentence "the gentleman is far away from cooking", that is, the kind of "unbearable" benevolence, and said that the gentleman should stay away from the kitchen as an excuse for being lazy and unable to go to the kitchen.

Mencius's "gentleman is far away from cooking" means to practice the way of benevolence and not to kill.

Not good. Over time, your role will change from husband to chef.

It's a bit of hypocrisy. It's kind to be unbearable, but it's a bit of a bad thing to see it and hear it as cause and effect. The implication is that I don't look at or listen, and the act of slaughtering animals to others can keep my kindness, which is more hypocritical.

If it's really kind, don't eat meat at all.

It's better to be human than to be excited. Don't be greedy, look scared, what's wrong, normal human nature.

No, it's the same reason that people can't bear to eat their pets.

The intention is not here, there were many wars during the Warring States Period, and Mencius advocated benevolent government and the people's noble monarchy. A gentleman pities beasts, let alone people? The gentleman cooks far away, kills far away, and suppresses the will to fight. The saint loves people and teaches ...... in many ways

After reading a lot of discussions about hypocrisy, I found that most people refute the argument that the criteria for judging good and hypocrisy are not fixed, and there is no clear boundary. It seems to make sense from the aspect that a gentleman should have compassion, but in connection with the previous background, the ancients valued class the most, and in ancient times, cattle were also higher than sheep, and they could kill sheep and never slaughter cattle, and they were always emphasizing a class concept. On second thought, yes, a gentleman can't see or kill animals, and can't bear to kill animals, so someone must cook or someone do the work, and who will do it?

Cook, obviously, for animals, a gentleman is good. What about cooks? A gentleman is a hypocrite!

I will do the work you don't do, and I will see what you don't want to see, in the final analysis, it is still the strong class atmosphere in ancient times.

Identity and division of labor! Say this to maintain reputation.

Oh, there must always be a high-sounding reason to do more "clear conscience".

It is also possible that people look down on cooking, or are too lazy to cook.

Then learn from the Shanghainese and kill donkeys on the street to eat. I haven't read the Book of Rites, so I can't comment on it. However, you must have watched and played and then summarized, okay?
