I learnt about Confucianism during my teenage days and it left a large imprint on what I hold as values- constant self-reflection, empathy to others, filial piety, and a path for life-- improve self, raise family, contribute to country and bring peace to the world.
@@mr_daihatsu thanks 😊, I like to be corrected. But in this case, British English usage is "learnt", while the US English is "learned". Let me know if it is still incorrect in the British usage.
TEARS I was sickened at my memories of the wholesale destruction of these things during The Cultural Revolution. Years ago, I watched a film of a farmer, unwrapping an ancient bow with such pious reverence, he had hidden in his barn, I was moved to tears. He risked his and his family's lives in doing so.
This has been a very enlightening program and I am proud to have been blessed to see it. If only the world could grasp the meaning. God Jesus whom ever you choose into your heart is necessary to learn self worth and love of all things.
A very educational video yet so little views 😢. nowadays people are drawn to short clips which offer little to no value content other than entertainment.
Confucius Say: _As soon as we implement a system of meritocracy and ethics, those filled with ambition and avarice will strive to circumvent and undermine it._
"These three great Masters remained individuals. Once in a while somebody was impressed by their writings, but it remained intellectual, so there is no hope in the near future of Lieh Tzu, Chuang Tzu or Lao Tzu being born again in China, or their influence in any way changing the course of China’s history, because in fact they have never been of any great importance in China’s mind. Confucius and Lao Tzu were contemporaries. Confucius had even gone to meet Lao Tzu, because Lao Tzu was certainly a man of tremendous qualities. Confucius was a great thinker, but only a thinker. He had nothing as far as his own inner consciousness is concerned, no experience, no idea who he is, but he had planned for the society perfectly well, a very mannered, cultured society. Hearing that Lao Tzu was nearby, living in a cave beyond the lake, he went to see him. A few of his disciples also went, but he told them, “You wait outside the cave.” They said, “Why? It will be good, we can listen.” He said, “You don’t understand. I will tell you the reason later on. Let me go first. If I feel it right I will call you in.” They stayed outside, Confucius went in. Lao Tzu was sitting silently. He did not say to Confucius even to sit down, and Confucius was man of manners, etiquette. He had not expected that a great sage, Lao Tzu, would not even ask. He did not say hello or even hi - even that short form, “hi.” He simply sat down, looking at Confucius, and Confucius said, “Sir, don’t you believe in manners?” Lao Tzu laughed. He said, ‘I thought you knew all the manners - what is the need for me to tell you? If you feel like sitting, you will sit down! You are not a man who does not know manners. If you like to stand up, it is my etiquette not to disturb you. You can stand up!” Confucius said, “But you… you did not even say hello.” Lao Tzu said, “I said it. You could not hear it. It was a test: I said it silently. I wanted to know whether the famous philosopher Confucius understands silence or not. So you understand only words - that much is decided! And you have expectations. You cannot sit down on your own, you have to be told. This cave does not belong to me. When I came here, nobody said ‘sit down,’ because nobody was here. Why should I say it? It is not my cave, nothing belongs to me. Just the way I am sitting, you can sit down. You are not a child to be told.” Confucius had never met such a man. And on each point he was rebuffed badly. Then Lao Tzu said, “If you really want to learn anything, first go and renounce all the idiots you have collected as your disciples. You don’t know anything and you have thousands of disciples. It is hilarious! You just go and tell them the truth, that you don’t know anything, and then come, because I teach only if somebody does not know. If he knows it already, why should he bother me? An old man… Leave me alone!” Confucius came out, and he had not the courage to say to his disciples that he did not know. He had thousands of disciples, he was the most famous man at that time. Very few people knew about Lao Tzu. Confucius has remained a shadow over the whole of Chinese history. It is only somewhere in the footnotes you can find the name of Lao Tzu. Confucius was not courageous enough to say “I do not know.” The disciples said “You didn’t ask us to come in. He said, “It was good that I didn’t ask you to come in. And please don’t ask the reason. That man is not a man; he is a dragon. He is dangerous, avoid him as far as possible. This is my first and last meeting with that old guy!” And he was perspiring. It was a cold morning and the cave was very cool, but he was perspiring. The disciples said, “But why are you perspiring?” He said, “I am alive - that’s enough! Just take me away from here.”"

An infusion of contrasting ideas to reality creates confusion and eucilidate'd by Confucius A few of Confucian quotes are excellent the rest creates confusion- about Confucius himself
This says something about how ridiculous and simple humans are. They become obsessed with one person and worship him and build a whole society around his silly ideas
Confucius wasn't a communist. He had according to his words wisdom, which he tried to share but, he had no interest in Communism, which hadn't even been invented! Let's look at the Chairman's words. Mao Zedong will give you the real insight into the China of today.
@@ary-here I do. One of my favorite quotes is , the beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name. Smart ass, you're wrong. See how I pay attention to his words 😎. He had wisdom.
The I Ching or book of changes...is similar to the bible in this way...both have two sides...the bible has its old and new testaments...the new is informed by the ideas of Christ....The I Ching's book of Changes has original hexagrams...with their individual and intertwined meanings...the second half of the book consists of the same 64 hexagrams but each with added confucian philosophy...this book predates printed Bibles...
When it comes to Chinas workplace and Confucius, I disagree with the message this video is trying to paint. I have to say it’s quite confusing. China is not ahead of the world at all on this regard, nor does it have lawful workers rights. China is at an extreme disadvantage because the CCP is in fact a cutthroat that feeds off its own people… And I’m not even touching on the slave labor part yet either
I'm sitting here watching this in Australia and thinking with all these lovely sayings and teachings and that, why in the world do they want to take us out!? We are nice people!
