Title: The Analects of Confucius in Modern Times Type: Secondary Creation/Spoof Scenario: Modern society embeds the Analects of Confucius’ golden saying: “ It’s such a joy to have friends come from far away !”

In middle school, one must have learned the Analects of Confucius, of course because it is a compulsory text in Chinese classes in Hong Kong.

I think the Analects of Confucius is actually very easy to learn, not because its meaning is easy to understand, but because it is easy to memorize. At the same time, most of the meanings it contains are the principles of life, such as: "A gentleman has no need for food, no need for peace, and agility." If you are careful about things and speak carefully, you will be righteous and righteous, and you can be said to be eager to learn." What it means is that to be a gentleman, you should not pursue food and housing too much, you should be agile and not talk too much, and you should do useful things. , pursue the truth and become a studious person. After you memorize it well, you can throw your schoolbag around when writing to get high marks. Even the teacher can't easily deduct points from you by quoting Confucius.

Basically, what Confucius said is that as long as you follow the "anti-human" direction, you can become a gentleman.

Modern people can be regarded as having broken etiquette and music. As far as the above requirements are concerned, you can't eat enough to satisfy yourself. All buffet restaurants have to be closed. Everyone goes in and eats until they are full and cannot come out. If you want to live in a big house and buy a house, you can be considered a successful person in Hong Kong. When doing things, we don’t seek to be fast and accurate, but we seek to achieve success and finish the work on time. Not talking too much is simply anti-human. Otherwise, everyone will not fall in love with social platforms. Where others have been, and what awards your children have won will become the object of discussion. It is natural to gossip. To do useful things, first of all, you must ask whether there is any "number". If not, avoid it if possible. People who are eager to learn have completed different certificate courses for, firstly, promotion and salary increase, and secondly, for fame and titles.

The golden saying we now believe in is, " When friends come from far away, what a joy it is to be either an adulterer or a thief ! How joyful it is to be courteous for nothing! "

If a friend you haven't seen for a long time suddenly comes to see you, you must be careful. It is very likely that he has changed his profession to sell insurance. But there is a "number" for everything. You must be one step ahead of others. If you don't, you will be stupid.

Confucius must have felt comforted when he saw me as a student. Because I "walk the talk first, then follow it."

Be a true gentleman, not a hypocrite.
