In "The Analects of bonus bet365·Shuer",Resulted from how to evaluate the incident of "Zhao Gong married Wu"、Chen Guo Sikou’s doubts about bonus bet365’ “party king’s fault”,bonus bet365 said "Qiu Ye is lucky" in front of his disciples,Gou You had it,It ends with the words of self-discipline that "people must know"。However,From the historical materials of "Spring and Autumn"、Event context,And Chen Sibai’s problem itself,bonus bet365’s answer must have another purpose。

"The Analects of bonus bet365 Shuer" Chapter 31: Chen Sibai asked Zhao Gong whether he knew the rituals,bonus bet365 said: "Know the propriety"。bonus bet365 retreats,We bow to the witch horse and advance forward,said: "I heard that a gentleman is not party-minded,A gentleman is also a party member?You take it from Wu,Same surname,Called Wu Mencius。The king knows etiquette,No one knows etiquette?”Chen Si was defeated and became Chen Guo Si Kou,His conversation with bonus bet365, Sikou of the State of Lu,It involves the historical event that Lu Zhaogong once married the wife of Wu State rather abruptly。According to the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty,No intermarriage between people with the same surname ("Book of Rites·Fang Ji" says: "Do not marry a wife with the same surname,In principle"),ERLU、Wu all have the surname Ji。Chen Sibai asked bonus bet365, "Does Duke Zhao know etiquette?",On the premise of specifically referring to this matter,bonus bet365’ answer——“Know the propriety”,Obviously it is difficult to escape the suspicion of being a "party king"。

Judging from relevant historical data,"Zuo Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Period·The Twelve Years of Duke Ai" says: "Jia Chen in the fifth month of summer,Mencius died”;"Gongyang Zhuan·Twelve Years of Duke Ai" also says: "Jiachen in the fifth month of summer,Mencius died。Who is Mencius?Zhao Gong’s wife。What is his name Mencius?It is taboo to marry someone with the same surname,Gai Wu Nuye”;"The Biography of Gu Liang·The Twelve Years of Duke Ai" says: "Xia,May Jiachen,Mencius died。What is Mencius??Mrs. Zhaogong。He didn’t say anything about his wife?It is taboo to have the same surname。Funeral Book,surname taboo,Therefore no book burial"。Accordingly,Du Yu of the Western Jin Dynasty believed in the "Collected Commentary of Zuo's Classics in the Spring and Autumn Period",The theory of "Mencius died",It actually existed long before bonus bet365 revised the Spring and Autumn Period。In other words,"In "Lu Chunqiu", the lady's surname is Wu,His death is said to be the death of Mencius",The essence is bonus bet365’ move to “go with the times” in the Spring and Autumn Annals,That is, the term "Mencius died" will continue to be used according to the old practice。

As to why bonus bet365 wanted to "know etiquette" to answer Chen Sibai's question "Did Duke Zhao know etiquette",Annotations in the past dynasties mostly followed the loyal emperor、The position of protecting the king,Explanation for bonus bet365 on the grounds that "subjects cannot speak of the evil of the ruler's relatives"。As Zhao Qi of the Han Dynasty thought,"It is the evil of the king and his relatives,Be sure to hide it,This is the practice of sages,There are taboos”。The Interpretation of the Spring and Autumn Classics by Sun Jue of the Northern Song Dynasty also said: "Master cannot bear to lose Chen Si with a single word,Kang endures his evil,To pass on to future generations”;Ye Mengde of the Southern Song Dynasty in his "Spring and Autumn Examination",It even compares Chen Sibai's questioning of bonus bet365 with the "straight bower" in "The Analects of bonus bet365·Zilu",His father is chasing sheep,And Zi Zhengzhi” is compared with the other things。Ye Mengdeyun: "I think my father is not a human father,There is beauty in it,There is something evil,Call it beautiful but not evil,So don’t be the son of others。My king is not a human king,There is beauty in it,There is something evil,Also call it beautiful but not evil,So I am a minister to others。”

Compared with the above purely concealing position,Sima Qian is based on the normative meaning of etiquette between monarch and minister,Pointed out that “I cannot speak of the evil of my relatives,Those who are taboo,Etiquette”。Cheng Hao’s interpretation of the Northern Song Dynasty also combined with etiquette,Trying to restore the conversation from the perspective of the context of the question: "Chen Sibai asked Duke Zhao whether he knew etiquette,bonus bet365 said to know etiquette。People from other countries come to ask you if you know the etiquette,It cannot be said that it is rude。For example, Chen Si was defeated and asked about Duke Zhao’s impoliteness,No answer,Look at him right and left"。If we follow Zhu Xi's annotations in "Collected Commentary on Four Books",Chen Guo Sikou actually got it because he heard that "Zhao Gong was accustomed to the ceremonial etiquette",I thought it was polite at that time。The reason why the Secretary is defeated is a question,And bonus bet365 answered”。Overall,Because Chen Sikou’s question was very sudden、Reckless,bonus bet365 did not know what he asked,Answer with “knowing the etiquette”,It’s more reasonable and more polite。

But judging from the development of the following text,Chen Guo Sikou obviously came well prepared,It is not aimed at Zhu Xi’s statement that “Duke Zhao is accustomed to the ceremonial etiquette”,Asked by someone who knows etiquette。bonus bet365 himself may have realized that he is not good,I don’t want to continue talking to him,So exit。However,After bonus bet365 left,Chen Sikou didn’t give up。He took the initiative to bow to Wu Maqi, a disciple of bonus bet365,To continue to attack his disciples,This proves that he really means something。Chen Sikou Li accused Duke Zhao of marrying a wife against etiquette,A very unfriendly question to him - "The king knows etiquette,No one knows etiquette”,Wuma Qi is likely to think that his words are conclusive,So I am speechless。So he relayed Chen Sibai’s words to bonus bet365。Judging from the records in The Analects,bonus bet365 did not give any explanation after hearing this,Just said to the disciple, "Qiu Ye is lucky,Gou You had it,Everyone must know it”。

Then,For what reason did bonus bet365 give up his defense,To clarify the blame placed on him by Chen Guo Sikou?Doesn’t bonus bet365 not care what his disciples think of him as a master?There are two main reasons for this: the change of dialogue objects and the goal orientation of dialogue activities。When the disciple Wu Maqi relayed Chen Guo Sikou’s words to bonus bet365,The two parties in the dialogue have become Wuma Qi and bonus bet365 himself,The two are studies between teachers and students、Teaching relationship,Instead of diplomatic relations with Chen Guo Sikou;Due to the change in the identity and mutual relationship of the conversation partners,So the significance of dialogue activities、Goals and value pursuits have also changed。Key words,bonus bet365 not only refused to defend himself,Even admitting his fault,This answer is actually designed for education、Guiding disciples Wu Ma Qi to write。

Yang Bojun raised a question in his "Analects of bonus bet365 Translation and Annotation": "I wonder if this conversation took place when Zhao Gong was alive,Still after his death。"Judging from the fact that Duke Zhao died in 510 BC and bonus bet365 accepted disciples,The dialogue can only occur after the death of Duke Zhao。Because in 510 BC,bonus bet365 was 42 years old,According to the "Wuma Period" recorded in "Historical Records",ziziqi,Thirty years younger than bonus bet365”,Wumaqi was only 12 years old at this time。It is still doubtful whether such a young age can study under bonus bet365,Let alone younger than 12 years old。In another chapter of "Shu'er", bonus bet365 said: "Self-restrained and above-mentioned",I haven’t learned anything yet。"According to Zheng Xuan's view in Han Dynasty,"Shuxiu" refers to those over fifteen years old;And bonus bet365 himself also said that "the fifteenth year is devoted to learning"。If this is the case,Then Wu Maqi must be at least 15 years old before he can start to worship bonus bet365 as his teacher。This means that the dialogue first took place three years after Zhaogong’s death。

According to the records of "Historical Records·bonus bet365 Family" and "bonus bet365 Family Sayings·Xianglu",bonus bet365 from 501 BC to 498 BC,Temporary official career。500 BC, when bonus bet365 was 52 years old,bonus bet365 was appointed Sikong of the State of Lu,Later succeeded Sikou。bonus bet365 met Chen Guo Si Kou as a Si Kou in charge of prison etiquette,Obviously more reasonable。If this is the case,Wuma was about 22 years old when the conversation took place。From Wu Maqi to Chen Sikou, "A gentleman (that is, bonus bet365) is also a party member" and "Jun (Zhao Gong) knows etiquette,Looking at the aggressive question "Who knows how to be polite" and being speechless,It can also be seen that Wu Maqi at that time was probably a young man with average experience。It is for this reason,Only then will he further relay Chen Guo Sikou’s words to bonus bet365,The purpose is obviously to seek confirmation from bonus bet365。

For bonus bet365 at this time,In fact, you can also explain the incident of Duke Zhao’s marriage to your disciples in detail。But bonus bet365 said that "Qiu Ye is lucky,Gou You had it,Everyone must know this” reply to disciple。Qian Mu thinks,This is because "bonus bet365 did not want to argue for Zhao Gong,I don’t want to admit that I am the king’s taboo”。In view of the young age of disciple Wumaqi,The reason why Duke Zhao married Wu is complicated,There is indeed no need for bonus bet365 to risk the suspicion of "qubian"。However,The real value and subtlety of bonus bet365 as a teacher is actually,bonus bet365 not only did not defend himself,On the contrary, I think I have "experienced it"。In front of disciples who are less than thirty years old,bonus bet365 emphasized that if you learn from others that you are wrong,This is a very lucky thing。To this point,As a teacher, bonus bet365’ heart of educating people through boxing、The virtue of humility, charming personality and astute education are fully demonstrated。This should be the fundamental purpose behind the incident of "Dong Zhao marrying Wu" being recorded in "The Analects"。
