A man fell into the water, and one of Confucius's students jumped into the water and rescued the man, and the family thanked him and gave him a cow, and he took it. Others are talking about it: Do you need money to go into the water to save people?
Confucius found out and praised the student, saying that the student had done the right thing, which would have saved more people who had fallen into the water. Because after saving someone, they can collect money when they give them, so if someone falls into the water, some people are willing to save them. So it depends on the objective effect.
Confucius is proficient, proficient in painting theory, and has a high aesthetic literacy.
In the country of Qi, once he heard Shao Le, he was full of praise, claiming that "March does not know the taste of meat". Confucius once learned the piano from Xiangzi, the official teacher of Lu Guole, and still played the same tune 10 days later. Shi Xiangzi said:
You can learn a new song. Confucius said, "Although the music is familiar, the technique is not yet familiar."
A few days later, Shi Xiangzi said again: "The skills are mastered, and you can learn new songs." Confucius said
I haven't grasped the interest of the song yet. After a few more days, Shi Xiangzi said, "I have understood the interest of the song, and I can learn a new song."
Confucius said, "I haven't yet understood who the composer is." After a while, Confucius said with an understanding:
In addition to King Zhou Wen, who else can make this song? Shi Xiangzi was in awe: "This song is "Wen Wang Cao"! ”

The pot calling the kettle black.
During the Warring States Period, the princely kingdoms all adopted the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal, and attacked from afar and closely.
War has afflicted the common people of all countries. Mencius decided to travel around the world to persuade warlike monarchs. Mencius came to the kingdom of Liang to meet the warlike King Hui of Liang. King Hui said to Mencius, "Why do I bother to govern the country and love the people, but I don't see the number of people? ”
Mencius said: "Take a war as an analogy: when two armies meet on the battlefield, it is inevitable that there will be a fight.
The defeated side will inevitably abandon their armor. Suppose a soldier runs slowly, only 50 paces, but laughs at the soldier who runs 100 paces as 'greedy for life and afraid of death'. King Liang Hui said
Wrong! Mencius said, "Although you love the people, you like to fight, and the people suffer."
It's the same as fifty steps. ”
The idiom is a metaphor of different degrees, but the essence of the same practice.
The Story of Confucius:
One of Confucius's students was cooking porridge when he noticed something dirty falling into the pot. He hurriedly scooped it up with a spoon, and when he was about to throw it out, it suddenly occurred to him that a porridge and a meal were not easy to come by. So he ate it.

(1) Learning and thinking.
More than 2,000 years ago, the educator Confucius once said: "If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless", which means that if a person only knows rote memorization in learning, and does not think about and digest it, then he will gain nothing. Confucius's words are very reasonable. >>>More
