MY FEELINGS ON THE ANALECTS

The Analects is said that “half the book can administer a country”. We could see how ancients respected it. It recorded Confucius’s words and deeds, containing his thinking on the way of thinking, attitude towards thinking, how to be good person and manage a country. This summer I read it and benefited a lot. The following I will state my feelings.

The Analects leads us to learn how to study and Goodness.” Every day I examine myself on three points: in acting on behalf of others, have I always been loyal to their interests? In intercourse with my friends, have I always been true to my word? Have I failed to repeat the precepts that have been handed down to me?” this sentence hit me. In today’s life, we do need to examine ourselves on what happened around, through which we could have progress and be better. It shows a modest and peaceful mind, through thousands of years still applying to life.

“To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt” follows and teaches us the way of studying efficiently.” In the usages of ritual it is harmony that is prized.” harmony is thought the highest norm in ancient China and a true gentleman in the book thirteen” The true gentleman is conciliatory but not accommodating. Common people are accommodating but not conciliatory” The harmony does recognize contradictions and it’s a unity of multielement.

In this book, I also find some sentences whose meanings are different from what we know in daily life.

The first is omitting the latter sentences. For example, we are told to” Meet resentment with inner power” In fact, the master said, meet resentment with upright dealing and meet inner power with inner power.” And Lao Tzu also approves” meet resentment with inner power, how can you say it proper?”. But in the past, in the people who believe in Neo-Confucianism eyes, “Meet resentment with inner power” a good person has to bear other’s resentment-it is even a value. It is just a tool helping governors to consolidate their benefit. Though Confucius advocates “goodness”, we also cannot bear anything even hurt by others. Anyway, we could find right explain for common people, it is better.

In the book five, when we are gonging to do something risky, others would say” thinks thrice before acting, which is said by Confucius.” But in fact in The Analects, it is “Chi Wen Tzu used to think thrice before acting. The Master hearing of it said , twice is enough” He may thought three times is too long to make a right decision

The second is improper punctuation. In the book eight,” The Master said, the common people can be made to follow it; they cannot be made to understand it.” I am against it. Why do common people cannot understand it? It is looking down upon them. And we do not believe it is said by Confucius who is Goodness. So there are many people think it is the wrong of punctuation in the ancient Chinese language. Someone puts forward a proper (in my eyes) express” If common people have high qualities, government could create a loose atmosphere; otherwise government needs to restrain them.” This is accord to Confucius’s Goodness.

In the book eight” The master seldom spoke of profit or fate or Goodness.” But in fact, Goodness is the core of Confucius, how can he seldom speak of it? An American professor said that ”yu” in Chinese could be translated into “approve” not “or”, then it will be “The Master rarely spoke of profit. But he gave forth his ideas concerning the appointments of fate，and also gave forth his ideas concerning perfect Goodness”, it’s more proper.

The third is wrongly understanding. In the book nineteen, Tzu-hsia said, the energy that a man has left over after doing his duty to the State,,he should devote to service of the State. But


we would say the”xue er you ze shi”as this”you may study good enough to be a office”,which encouraged people to study hard,even in today’s Gaokao.It proves that the office is not the only goal for scholars,our Confucius was not so stupid.

In book seventeen,The Master said, women and people of low birth are very hard to deal with.If you are friendly with them,they get out of hand,and if you keep your distance,they resent it. This sentence showed women’s low birth,Confucius became the spokesman for looking up to man and down to girls.In fact,the Master said”it is not easy for men to communicate with women,for offices with common people.”Such as”If you do not do for yourself,nothing could bear”as if advocating self,but it really means”if you do not improve yourself,onthing could bear.”Anyone could not make an excuse for your self.

Yan Hui is thought highly of by Confucius among many students, but passed away at young age. Confucius talked of him with tears and miss, in this book ,I find some evidences.

Firstly, not thwart. In conversation with teachers, Yen Hui was not thwart” In serving his father and mother man may gently remonstrate with them. But if he sees that he has failed to change their opinion, he should resume an attitude of deference and not thwart them; may feel discouraged, but not resentful.” Secondly, quick mind.” not thwart” towards Confucius but Tzu-kung once said to Confucius” For Hui has but to hear one part in ten,in order to understand the whole ten. Whereas if I hear one part, I understand no more two parts.”

Secondly, Hui could be happy to lead a simple and virtuous life. The master said, Incomparable indeed was Hui! A handful of rice to eat, a gourdful of water to drink, living in a mean street-others would have found it unendurably depressing, but to Hui’s cheerfulness it made no difference at all.Incomparable indeed was Hu. In his eyes,he who is aspiring would spend little time running for money ,they could endure the ‘mean street,just rice and water.In book seven,”He who seeks only coarse food to eat,water to drink and a bent arm for pillow,wil without looking for it find happiness to boot.Any thought of accepting weath and rank by means that I know to be wrong is as remote from me as the clouds that float above”also depicts a simple life without any fames and money,also accords with Confucius’s advocation” happy to lead a simple and virtuous life”, “a bent arm for pillow”is their joy,we had better be away from ”the wrong weath and rank”,which has influenced numerous people in the thousands of years.We must admit the big influenceeven now.

Thirdly, not showing off. This is not accepted by Confucius,but appearing in Hui’s ambition.”once when Yen Hui and Tzu-lu were waiting upon him the Master said,Suppose each of you were to tell his wish.Tzu-lu said,I should like to have carriages and horses,clothes and fur rugs,share them with my friends and feel no annoyance if they were returned to me the worse for wear.Yen Hui said,I should like never to boast of my good qualities nor make a fuss about the trouble I take on behalf of others.Tzu-lu said,A thing I should like is to hear the Master said,In deeling with friends,to be of good faith with them;in dealing with the young,to cherich them.”Others are also good to learn,after reading it,sharing comes into my mind,we had better share with our friends.

What’s more, Hui could endure hardships with Confucius.”When the Master was trapped in K’uang,Yen Hui fell behind.The Master said,I thought you were dead.Hui said,While you are alive how should I dare to die.”Hui was qualified to be a relative,not only a student.

Additionally,diligent.”Duke Ai asked which of the disciples had a love of learing.Master K’ung answered him saying,There was Yen Hui.He had a great love of learing.He never vented hid wrath


upon the innocent nor let others suffer for his faults.Unfortunately the span of life allotted to him by Heaven was short,and he died.At present there are none or at any rate I have heard of none who are fond of learing.”Confucius expressed his love and high praise for Hui by “none could”

Yan Hui’s merits are good enough to be NO.1 among 72 students,his praise also showed Confucius’ greatness.”Hui said with a deep sigh, the more I strain my gaze up towards it,the higher it soars.The deeper I bore down into it,the harder it becomes.I see it in front;but suddenly it is behind.Step by step the Master skillfully lures one on.He has broadened me with culture,restrained me with ritual.Even if I wanted to stop,I could not.When I fell that Ihave exhausted every resource,something seems to rise uo,standing out sharp and clear.Yet though I long to pursue it,I can find no way of greeting to it at all.”

From these aspects, I am so addicted to it. As the popular books among two thousand years, it has been publishing in many versions, the only unchanged thing is the principles in our daily life-harmony, Goodness and so on. Reading the classic books lead us a more colorful future.
