Feel the transcendence and limitation of the ancients. Confucius's many words all and is very anxious that saint, but there are also a lot of theory is not adapt to the current age, need to re-examine, his desire for the restoration of rites, for example, is clearly inappropriate, today the collapse of the old order and transition period for the formation of new order will produce so-called ceremony music bad phenomenon is normal, if so will open the back of history,

Analects of Confucius. Argumentation and learning

Far end.

After reading a lot of notes, I thought it inappropriate to interpret the end and distance as a funeral or funeral ceremony.

"Funeral and Funeral" has a separate text after the Analects of Confucius that focuses on the individual's growth, and the above explanation can feel very abrupt.

So what is "end", what is "far", people must be "careful", must "chase"?

"The end" is the meaning of the result, treat may appear, will appear, has appeared the result must be careful;

"Far" is the meaning of the cause, treat any result, must "trace" its cause. Whether the result is good or bad, find the reason, find the reason that formed the result, the good result, as experience inheritance; Bad results, as a lesson learned. Everyone can do this, "people's moral return thick".

Everything has cause and effect. If you want to have good results, you must pay attention and be careful at the beginning.
