The Analects59 chapters

“朝闻道,夕死可矣”“志于道”。“道”作“说”“引导”讲的章已剔。

  1. 1.2Filial and fraternal duty as the root of ren

    有子曰:其为人也孝弟,而好犯上者,鲜矣;不好犯上,而好作乱者,未之有也。君子务本,本立而道生。孝弟也者,其为仁之本与!

    Filial and fraternal duty is where practising ren begins. Today: kind to strangers online, no patience for one's parents at home — that is starting from the far end.

  2. 1.5Governing a state of a thousand chariots

    子曰:道千乘之国:敬事而信,节用而爱人,使民以时。

    Cheng Yi: “此言至浅……若推其极,尧舜之治亦不过此” — the words are plain, but pushed to the limit, even Yao and Shun governed no differently. Today: a shopkeeper who keeps his word, doesn't waste money, and doesn't send staff on private errands in the busy season.

  3. 1.11While the father lives, observe the son's intent

    子曰:父在,观其志;父没,观其行;三年无改于父之道,可谓孝矣。

    What is wrong, change now; what can wait, let wait — that is time given to what one cannot bear to let go. Today: the small factory a father left behind.

  4. 1.12In the use of ritual, harmony is prized

    有子曰:礼之用,和为贵。先王之道,斯为美,小大由之。有所不行,知和而和,不以礼节之,亦不可行也。

    Harmony alone, with nothing to regulate it, does not work either. Today: the team where everyone only ever says “looks good”.

  5. 1.14A gentleman does not seek to eat his fill

    子曰:君子食无求饱,居无求安,敏于事而慎于言,就有道而正焉,可谓好学也已。

    Not going hungry on purpose; simply too occupied to mind.

  6. 2.3Guiding them by decrees

    子曰:道之以政,齐之以刑,民免而无耻;道之以德,齐之以礼,有耻且格。

    Punishment and decree keep people from crime; virtue and ritual move them toward good. Today: the camera breaks, and the rubbish comes back.

  7. 3.16In archery, piercing the hide is not the point

    子曰:射不主皮,为力不同科,古之道也。

    The contest is in what can be trained, not in what you were born with.

  8. 3.24The border warden of Yi asks to see him

    仪封人请见,曰:君子之至于斯也,吾未尝不得见也。从者见之。出曰:二三子何患于丧乎?天下之无道也久矣,天将以夫子为木铎。

    A minor official saw Confucius's weight at first sight. Today: an old teacher moved off the podium runs free classes in the community, and more people come than were ever in his class.

  9. 4.5Wealth and rank are what people want

    子曰:富与贵,是人之所欲也;不以其道得之,不处也。贫与贱,是人之所恶也;不以其道得之,不去也。君子去仁,恶乎成名?君子无终食之间违仁,造次必于是,颠沛必于是。

    Do not take wealth that should not come, and do not dodge an undeserved poverty by crooked means; the big choices and the small daily work make each other. Today: the bus brakes hard, and the young man's first grab is to steady the old woman beside him.

  10. 4.8Hear the Way in the morning, die content at dusk

    子曰:朝闻道,夕死可矣。

    The hard part is not hearing, but still believing after one has heard. Life and death are the great matter; without something truly gained in the heart, no one can say “I may die at dusk.” Today: an old man in a hospital bed finally sees through what he never understood in a lifetime, takes his daughter's hand and says, “Now I am at peace.”

  11. 4.9A scholar set on the Way who is ashamed of poor clothes

    子曰:士志于道,而耻恶衣恶食者,未足与议也。

    The mouth says the heart is set on the Way, but the heart is ordered about by things outside. The problem is not dressing poorly; it is treating poor dress as a shame. Today: someone who says he will devote himself to studying for the exam first spends three days picking the most expensive stationery.

  12. 4.15参乎not yet covered

    子曰:参乎!吾道一以贯之。曾子曰:唯。子出。门人问曰:何谓也?曾子曰:夫子之道,忠恕而已矣。

  13. 4.20三年无改于父之道not yet covered

    子曰:三年无改于父之道,可谓孝矣。

  14. 5.1子谓公冶长not yet covered

    子谓公冶长,可妻也。虽在缧绁之中,非其罪也。以其子妻之。子谓南容,邦有道,不废;邦无道,免于刑戮。以其兄之子妻之。

  15. 5.6道不行not yet covered

    子曰:道不行,乘桴浮于海。从我者其由与?子路闻之喜。子曰:由也好勇过我,无所取材。

  16. 5.12子贡曰not yet covered

    子贡曰:夫子之文章,可得而闻也;夫子之言性与天道,不可得而闻也。

  17. 5.15子谓子产not yet covered

    子谓子产,有君子之道四焉:其行己也恭,其事上也敬,其养民也惠,其使民也义。

  18. 5.20寗武子邦有道则知not yet covered

    子曰:寗武子邦有道则知,邦无道则愚。其知可及也,其愚不可及也。

  19. 6.10冉求曰not yet covered

    冉求曰:非不说子之道,力不足也。子曰:力不足者,中道而废。今女画。

    子曰:志于道,据于德,依于仁,游于艺。

  23. 8.4曾子有疾not yet covered

    曾子有疾,孟敬子问之。曾子言曰:鸟之将死,其鸣也哀;人之将死,其言也善。君子所贵乎道者三:动容貌,斯远暴慢矣;正颜色,斯近信矣;出辞气,斯远鄙倍矣。笾豆之事,则有司存。

  24. 8.7曾子曰not yet covered

    曾子曰:士不可以不弘毅,任重而道远。仁以为己任,不亦重乎?死而后已,不亦远乎?

  25. 8.13笃信好学not yet covered

    子曰:笃信好学,守死善道。危邦不入,乱邦不居。天下有道则见,无道则隐。邦有道,贫且贱焉,耻也;邦无道,富且贵焉,耻也。

  26. 9.11子疾病not yet covered

    子疾病,子路使门人为臣。病间,曰:久矣哉!由之行诈也,无臣而为有臣。吾谁欺?欺天乎?且予与其死于臣之手也,无宁死于二三子之手乎?且予纵不得大葬,予死于道路乎?

  27. 9.26衣敝缊袍not yet covered

    子曰:衣敝缊袍,与衣狐貉者立,而不耻者,其由也与?不忮不求,何用不臧?子路终身诵之。子曰:是道也,何足以臧?

  28. 9.29可与共学not yet covered

    季子然问:仲由、冉求可谓大臣与?子曰:吾以子为异之问,曾由与求之问。所谓大臣者:以道事君,不可则止。今由与求也,可谓具臣矣。曰:然则从之者与?子曰:弑父与君,亦不从也。

  31. 12.19季康子问政于孔子曰not yet covered

    季康子问政于孔子曰:如杀无道,以就有道,何如?孔子对曰:子为政,焉用杀?子欲善,而民善矣。君子之德风,小人之德草。草上之风,必偃。

  32. 12.23子贡问友not yet covered

    子贡问友。子曰:忠告而善道之,不可则止,毋自辱焉。

  33. 13.25君子易事而难说也not yet covered

    子曰:君子易事而难说也:说之不以道,不说也;及其使人也,器之。小人难事而易说也:说之虽不以道,说也;及其使人也,求备焉。

  36. 14.20子言卫灵公之无道也not yet covered

    子言卫灵公之无道也,康子曰:夫如是,奚而不丧?孔子曰:仲叔圉治宾客,祝𬶍治宗庙,王孙贾治军旅。夫如是,奚其丧?

  37. 14.30君子道者三not yet covered

    子曰:君子道者三,我无能焉:仁者不忧,知者不惑,勇者不惧。子贡曰:夫子自道也。

  38. 14.38公伯寮愬子路于季孙not yet covered

    公伯寮愬子路于季孙。子服景伯以告,曰:夫子固有惑志于公伯寮,吾力犹能肆诸市朝。子曰:道之将行也与?命也。道之将废也与?命也。公伯寮其如命何!

  39. 15.6直哉史鱼not yet covered

    子曰:直哉史鱼!邦有道,如矢;邦无道,如矢。君子哉蘧伯玉!邦有道,则仕;邦无道,则可卷而怀之。

  40. 15.24吾之于人也not yet covered

    子曰:吾之于人也,谁毁谁誉?如有所誉者,其有所试矣。斯民也,三代之所以直道而行也。

  41. 15.28人能弘道not yet covered

    子曰:人能弘道,非道弘人。

  42. 15.31君子谋道不谋食not yet covered

  44. 15.41师冕见not yet covered

    师冕见,及阶,子曰:阶也。及席,子曰:席也。皆坐,子告之曰:某在斯,某在斯。师冕出。子张问曰:与师言之道与?子曰:然。固相师之道也。

  45. 16.2天下有道not yet covered

    孔子曰:天下有道,则礼乐征伐自天子出;天下无道,则礼乐征伐自诸侯出。自诸侯出,盖十世希不失矣;自大夫出,五世希不失矣;陪臣执国命,三世希不失矣。天下有道,则政不在大夫。天下有道,则庶人不议。

  46. 16.5益者三乐not yet covered

    孔子曰:益者三乐,损者三乐。乐节礼乐,乐道人之善,乐多贤友,益矣。乐骄乐,乐佚游,乐宴乐,损矣。

  47. 16.11见善如不及not yet covered

    孔子曰:见善如不及,见不善如探汤。吾见其人矣,吾闻其语矣。隐居以求其志,行义以达其道。吾闻其语矣,未见其人也。

  48. 17.4子之武城not yet covered

    子之武城,闻弦歌之声。夫子莞尔而笑,曰:割鸡焉用牛刀?子游对曰:昔者偃也闻诸夫子曰:君子学道则爱人,小人学道则易使也。子曰:二三子!偃之言是也。前言戏之耳。

    子曰:道听而涂说,德之弃也。

  50. 18.2柳下惠为士师not yet covered

    柳下惠为士师,三黜。人曰:子未可以去乎?曰:直道而事人,焉往而不三黜?枉道而事人,何必去父母之邦?

  51. 18.6长沮、桀溺耦而耕not yet covered

    长沮、桀溺耦而耕,孔子过之,使子路问津焉。长沮曰:夫执舆者为谁?子路曰:为孔丘。曰:是鲁孔丘与?曰:是也。曰:是知津矣。问于桀溺,桀溺曰:子为谁?曰:为仲由。曰:是鲁孔丘之徒与?对曰:然。曰:滔滔者天下皆是也,而谁以易之?且而与其从辟人之士也,岂若从辟世之士哉?耰而不辍。子路行以告。夫子怃然曰:鸟兽不可与同群,吾非斯人之徒与而谁与?天下有道,丘不与易也。

  52. 18.7子路从而后not yet covered

    子路从而后,遇丈人,以杖荷𦰏。子路问曰:子见夫子乎?丈人曰:四体不勤,五谷不分。孰为夫子?植其杖而芸。子路拱而立。止子路宿,杀鸡为黍而食之,见其二子焉。明日,子路行以告。子曰:隐者也。使子路反见之。至则行矣。子路曰:不仕无义。长幼之节,不可废也;君臣之义,如之何其废之?欲洁其身,而乱大伦。君子之仕也,行其义也。道之不行,已知之矣。

  56. 19.12子游曰not yet covered

  57. 19.19孟氏使阳肤为士师not yet covered

  58. 19.22卫公孙朝问于子贡曰not yet covered

    卫公孙朝问于子贡曰:仲尼焉学?子贡曰:文武之道,未坠于地,在人。贤者识其大者,不贤者识其小者,莫不有文武之道焉。夫子焉不学?而亦何常师之有?

  59. 19.25陈子禽谓子贡曰not yet covered
