 He always said something boring(言不及義)

 

Confucius' name is (Kong Qiu). Confucius is the honorary name given to him by people.

He is an outstanding educator. He is one of the most influential thinkers in Chinese history.

 

He will adopt different education methods for each student's situation.

He will also make appropriate suggestions based on the common mistakes all students make.

 

In the famous book (The Analects of Confucius), a story is recorded.

 

One day, when he saw several of his students get together again, he walked over and said to them.

 

I have been silently observing the interaction between you for a while.

I have some thoughts that I want to share with you.

 

You are very young, and you sometimes feel bored, so you like a large group of people together. This is normal behavior.

 

But you will only say silly things when you get together all day.

You will also compare with each other and boast to your friends about your small talents and smarts.

 

I want to remind you that you have to police this situation.

Because if you develop this habit, you will adopt this model every time you get together.

After a few years, you will find that you have not made progress in virtue and knowledge.

 

If you continue to stay in this state, it will be difficult for you to become a truly mature person.

 

 

This idiom is used to describe a person who can only say some boring words, but not some meaningful words.

 

Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.

Do you agree with Confucius? How do you maintain the balance between making friends and being alone?

I hope this story will give you some new gains

言不及義(He always said something boring)

 

孔子的名字是(孔丘)。孔夫子是人們對他的尊稱。

他是一位傑出的教育家。他是為中國歷史上最有影響力的思想家之一。

 

他會針對每個學生的情況採取不同的教育方式。

他也會根據所有學生都會犯的共同錯誤提出洽當的建議。

 

著名的(孔夫子論語)這一本書中,記載了一個故事。

 

有一天,他看見他的幾個學生又聚在一起,他便走過去跟這幾個學生說。

 

我已經默默的觀察你們之間的互動好一陣子了。

我有一些看法想要分享給你們。

 

你們的年紀都很輕,你們有時候會感覺無聊所以你們喜歡一大堆人聚在一起,這是很正常的行為。

 

但你們整天聚再一起時只會說一些無聊的話。

你們還會相互的攀比,對朋友誇耀自己小小才能與小聰明。

 

我想要提醒你們,你們必須要警介這種情況。

因為如果你們養成這種習慣,每次聚會都是採取這種模式。

過幾年後你們會發現,你們在德性與知識上都沒有進步。

 

你們如果繼續停留在現在這種狀態,你們很難成為一個真正成熟的人。

 

 

這句成語被用來形容一個人只會說一些無聊的話,而不說一些有意義的話。

 

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。

你是否認同孔子的觀點呢?你如何保持交友與獨處之間的平衡呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫
