When one of Confucius' students was cooking porridge, he found something dirty falling into the pot. He quickly scooped it up with a spoon and was about to dump it, when it suddenly occurred to him that a porridge and a meal were hard to come by. So I ate it. It happened that Confucius walked into the kitchen and thought he was stealing vegetables, so he taught the classmate who was in charge of cooking. After the explanation, everyone suddenly realized. Confucius said with emotion, "What I saw with my own eyes is not true, let alone hearsay?"
In autumn and October, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, the wheat waves are rolling and the rice is golden. Confucius took Luz, Zigong and Yan Hui along the Dabie Mountains and across the country, ready to go to Du Yun. They marched on the ancient plank road in a carriage. The scenery along the way is rich: farmers work with hoes in the fields, and shepherds graze cattle and sheep in the mountains. The river twists and turns, crystal clear; Rows of trees shade the sun and bamboo forests sway with the wind; The villages are closely connected, with traffic, the sound of chickens and dogs, and sometimes the melodious flute echoes in the air. When it gets dark, they will live in a nearby village, or ask the villagers to learn about the history, customs and human feelings at that time, collect folk songs and ballads, or hold a forum to discuss and preach the profound way of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith". Sometimes I will stay in a village for two or three days to collect some information.
One day, accompanied by hoofbeats and endless dust, they came to the old street south of Daoguan River in Xinzhou. I saw Damushan lying like a beautiful woman under the blue sky and white clouds, with high winds and dense forests; Shahe is clear and flowing; Lion Rock is like a fierce lion, devouring the sun and the moon. Here, beautiful scenery, birds and flowers, is a fairyland on earth. Not far from the street south, the driver suddenly pulled the reins, Ma Si roared and the car stopped.
Confucius said, "Why stop?"
The coachman replied, "Master, there are a group of children in the way ahead."
"Let them make way."
"Kid, why don't you make way when you see the carriage coming?" Zi Gong jumped out of the car and said grumpily.
"Why should we make way? Can't you go the other way? " A child who seems to be a leader replied.
Zi Gong glared and roared, "Do you know whose car this is? Tell you, this is Confucius' car! "
I heard that Zi Gong had an argument with the child, so Confucius had no choice but to get off the bus and find out for himself. Seeing a handsome old man with elegant shirt and elegant manners, the children were fearless and disapproving, and continued to build their "city" with stones.
Confucius stroked the head of a handsome little boy and said kindly, "Little childe, would you please move the stone and let us pass?"
The child looked up at Confucius and said, "Mary, we are building a city."
"Well, I have a question. If you can't answer, you can make way for us. " Confucius believes that people should serve others with "courtesy" and children should be treated equally.
"Get out," the child thought. I am Gao Jiao, the guardian of the Tibetan history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Can you still beat me?
Confucius asked, "Listen carefully, are parents and husband and wife close?"
"Husband and wife." The child replied.
"No, parents. Without parents, there will be no offspring! "
"Husband and wife, no husband and wife, no parents!" They have their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone. "Parents" and "husband and wife" are repeated twice.
Confucius said: Parents have food and clothing. Parents raise children, eat and drink Lazarus, educate adults, preach and teach students, so don't worry! Of course parents are close.
Xiang Tuo returns the favor: husband and wife love each other, men plow and women weave, sleep on pillows, take care of each other, love each other for a long time, grow old together and never part. One day, the husband and wife will still be grateful! Husband and wife, of course

Confucius thinks that Kong Qiu is famous all over the world, and I am called the sacred China. Today, I still can't convince a child, "endure if you can, endure if you are cooked!" " On second thought, "gentlemen don't dispute", I am tolerant as the sea, and my knowledge is not as good as that of a child. He took away the value of a great scholar and bowed: "A child prodigy is on earth, and the old lady is polite. We have important things to do. We look forward to your help and lend us a way. "
The child said confidently, "Excuse me, sir, has the city given way to the car or the car given way to the city since ancient times?"
Lutz said, "Which city are you from? Just a child's game! "
"It's a city!"
Hold the reins for a while. Knowing that he was wrong, the child asked, "Do you have anything important?"
"Travel around the world, preach and teach." Confucius said.
"You must have a set of skills and talents to preach and teach. What do you know? "
Confucius said, "I don't boast. I know a thing or two from astronomy to geography. "
The child said, "Astronomy and geography know everything. Then I ask you, how many eyebrows do you have? "
Confucius said, "I can't see my eyebrows. How do I know how many? "
The child had a brainwave and then asked, "If you don't see Feng, can you see the stars in the sky? How many do you think? "
"There are too many stars in the sky, a dime a dozen. How can you count it? " Confucius said awkwardly.
The child smiled and said, "Oh, you have too many. There is only one sun, like an ice tray in the morning and a Yuhuan race at noon. When will it come near us? " When is it far from us? "
Confucius thought for a long time and murmured, "OK, OK ... I really don't know. You are a child prodigy, only Chu Youcai! I still hope that everyone will give me more advice. "
The child said, "I'm afraid to teach you. I have my hands full right now. See you later. "
At this time, all the disciples were shouting, "Master, let's go!" " Confucius had to bow to the child: "See you later! "I thought to myself, this knowledge really hasn't been studied well! Immediately, the driver turned around and made a detour.
I didn't expect to walk for about a kilometer, because the wheel of the car was broken because of a sharp turn just now. Confucius had no choice but to ask Luz to borrow an axe from the village in front to repair it.
Lutz hurried to the front village and saw a middle-aged woman weaving in the room. Lutz respectfully said, "Aunt, please borrow something." Before Lutz finished, the woman turned and took out a shiny axe from the back room. "Here you are!" "Lutz was surprised. How did she know it was an axe? The woman smiled and said, "Don't you want to borrow something? "? " "East" is the wood of the East, "West" is the gold of the West, the handle of the axe is wood, the axe is iron and the "gold" is iron. You want to borrow an axe! "Lutz ran back to the parking lot with an axe and told Confucius what had just happened.
Confucius sighed after listening. I met a clever child just now and now I meet a village woman. She is not only helpful, but also very clever. Can't help but admire: Chu is a land of crouching tiger and hidden dragon!
