"Walking on the position of gentleman Su",From the Confucian classic "The Golden Mean",I have always been recited by people。But,Understanding of this sentence,Scholars mostly explain it with the "unable to think of a gentleman"。Very true,There is a certain connection between the two,But the focus of the saying is not the same。Mixed synonyms are easy to miss the core connotation of the word "The Golden Mean",I try to discuss。

"Walking on the position of gentleman Su",It is listed as Chapter 14 in Zhu Xi's "The Golden Mean Chapter"。Zhu Xi thought it was "Zisi's words",The text of the full chapter is as follows:

Herchin, a gentleman's position,Unwilling to be outside。Sufu Gui,Fuck wealth; Poor Poor,Keeping poverty; Su Yidi,Holding Yidi;,Difficulty in it。Gentleman has no entry but not self -proclaimed。Under the upper position,Do not support it in the lower position,I am not looking for someone without resentment。Non -people,Non -people。Therefore, gentleman residence is easy to live with life,Little Performance Insurance with Fortunately。Zi said: "It seems to be gentleman,Lost Zhuzheng,Recommended body。”

"The gentleman can't think of its position",Zeng Ziyu contained in the Analects of Confucius bet365 Play online games Constitution,It is also seen in the "Zhou Yi" Gen Gua Xiang: "Yamana Gen,Gentleman cannot think about it。​​"Zhu Xi believes that the Analects contains the saying that Zeng Zi called" Zhou Yi "。"Constitutional Question" records Zeng Zi in Confucius "Not in its place,Do not conspire its politics "(this language is also seen in the Analects of Taibei),The significance of the two can be said to be similar -Zi said: "Not in its position,Do not seek its politics。"Zeng Zi said:" The gentleman can't think of its position。"Confucius is very clear,It is relative to politics,"Bit" refers to it is also very specific,refers to political status、Job,The meaning of each duty。The words referred to by Zeng Zi,Literally,Seems more broad,But you can also understand the semantics of Confucius。"Ji Note" quotes Fan's language "Junchen、Up and down、size,Disciples all the duties "also interpreted,Also from political affairs、None of the job invasion of the job、In the sense of each job。Later generations from Confucius、Zeng Zi language interpretation of people interprets people with duties、bit of bit,or not too much error,But this understands the "The Golden Mean" is "doing the position",No corresponding。

The focus of the words of "The Golden Mean" falls on the "line" of the gentleman。Zhu Xi released "Xing" as "as" as ","Dang" means "should",The semantics bet365 Play online games is still broad。What needs to be clear is,This "line",or "Should" interpreted by Zhu Xi,But it may not be related to the "position"。That is to say,"Xing" if it is regarded as doing things in accordance with a certain ethical principle,So "The Gold" is not here to talk about the ethical principles of "position"。"position" or "position" really has its ethical principles,But "The Golden Mean" is not about this。Depending on the meaning of the above and below,This chapter should be based on the principle of "gentleman's way"。"Walking on the position of gentleman Su",Emphasizing the principles of gentlemen will not change due to changes in status situations,As in the later "rich", "poor", "Yidi" and "suffering"。Similar meaning,In Confucius、Mencius has classic expressions。For example,Zi said: "Rich and expensive,It is what people want,No way to get the way,No place; poverty and cheap,It is the evil of people,No way to get the way,Don't go。Gentleman to Ren Ren,Evil? Gentleman's disobedience between the end of the food,Create the number of times,Ban Pei, then。"(" The Analects of Confucius · Liren ")" Gentleman's Sex,,,Different reason。Gentleman's sex,Benevolence, righteousness and wisdom in the heart。"(" Mencius · Heart ")

Comparison of comparison,"The Golden Mean" semantics is slightly blurred "line" and Zhu Xi interpreted Bet365 app download "what should be",In Confucius、There is a clearer expression in Mencius,Confucius said "Ren",Mencius said "sex"、is "Renyi Li Zhi"。"Division" in Mencius,From the perspective of Zhu Xi's "Collection",Not the "division" of "position",but the "division" of "sex division": "partner,The whole of the income in heaven,Therefore, it is not different for poor。"" associated with Confucius、Mencius said,Define the "line" of "The Golden Mean" as a way to follow the path、Follow the "Gentle Way" and do it,It should be no problem,It is echoing in the first chapter of "The Golden Mean".,Do not be separated,It can be separated from non -road "。

Understand the connotation of "Xing",Let's take a look at the second sentence "Unwilling to be outside"。Zhu Xi released it as "No Mind Heart"。What is the "outside" for? Are you talking about the "position" or "position" where you are now?。This "outside" is for the following "self" and "body",The so -called "right but not seeking people without complaints", "reflected on their bodies"。That is to say,Compared to "self" and "body",bit and situation can be regarded as "outside"。"I" and "Body" and "Xing",All are directly associated with the gentleman's way,It is concerned by the gentleman's moment。"Under the top of the top", "the lower support", "resentment of the heaven", the reason why it is not desirable,It is because the focus bet365 best casino games of concern is placed on the external position and situation。

So far,Let's look back at the "Vegetarian" word of "Verbal"。Zhu Xi's "Vegetarian" is "See in",that is, "Now"。In terms of meaning,"Vegetarian" should be the meaning of "plain" and "meta" here,This sentence can be translated as "A gentleman is doing the way where the position is living in the same way"。As mentioned below,It can also be translated like this: Parent,Poverty、Yidi、Difficulty,Must be so or not。Zhu Xi means "seeing" where you have your intention,"See in" that is, "Now",It is emphasized that it is not necessary to go between the road、There is something away from the end of the food、Waiting,Must be at the moment、Now,Tear at all times、Wake up。The following "A gentleman is easy to live with life,Little Performance Insurance with Fortunately ",Zhu Xi takes "Juyi" as "Plasma",Taking "Life" as "Unwilling to Wai"。"Yi",Zhu Xi explained as "flat ground",The meaning of "Pingyi" and "usual"。The way of gentleman is like the "mediocre" instructions in the "medonga",This is "Chang Tao"。Living in Changdao,Tyeding,An Zhiruo,Not shaken by the external destiny encounter,This is "no entry but not content"。

"Juyi Life",Reflected a view of "The Golden Mean",Involved in the "Defu Consistent" problem。At this point,"The Golden Mean" is not only a kind of view,And there is a kind of optimism,As Chapter bet365 best casino games 17 stated, "Great virtue will get the position,Must get its Lu,It will get its name,Life will be available ","Dade will be ordered"。Of course,This is also "should" so,In fact, whether this is the case,Is another question,At least not the focus of the "line" of the gentleman。Gentleman's "Line","Self -Confucian" music that has its own "no entry and unhappy"。A trip to gentleman,The gentleman's self -procurement,Is not when it is not hit,Where is it。

Connected to "Think of it" to explain "Has the position",Not today,Zheng Xuan's "Ritual Note" is this meaning。Zheng Xuanyun: "Unwilling to be outside,I can't think about it。ourselves,It is said that the hometown (‘Xiang’) does not lose its way。"here,Zheng Xuan is training "outside" with "out of its position",But there is a supplement for "What I don't lose",Not too far away。Kong Yingda's "Book of Rites" Cheng Xuan Xuan comes,Also explained "to the position" and "can't think of its position",However, he associates "line" with "sidewalk",such as "Township (Tong‘ Xiang ’),Walking on the rich ",Lost is not too far。but but,In Zheng Xuan、Kong Yingda's Note,"Tao" "Walking",More the legitimacy principles that are followed by it,But as I said before,"Walking",Obviously not restricted here,Instead, it has a universal significance beyond the level。
