Topic: When Confucius met instagram
Genre: Traveling through a story A scene: Confucius found that people like to use social platforms to record their lives. Embedded in the Analects golden sentence: "Don't worry about people's ignorance, and worry about their inability."

On this day, Confucius traveled through the time machine for more than 2,000 years, and came to the modern society to check whether people have implemented his teachings well. By the way, I forgot to tell you that since Confucius got a time machine from a master a year ago, he has been doing this regularly. Half of it is out of curiosity, and the other half is out of the nature of "teacher for all ages": enthusiastic about educating the people.

After arriving, Yan Qu, the chief disciple of Confucius in modern times, received the teacher respectfully and took him to the restaurant for lunch. In the restaurant, Confucius saw that all the diners around him raised their mobile phones and took pictures of the food in front of them.

Confucius asked, "Yan Qu, why do people do this?"

Yan Qu opened the instagram program on his mobile phone, showed it to Confucius, and explained, "It is very popular for us to put our life situation in this place recently, and friends will know what they are doing recently."

Confucius checked Yan Qu's account curiously and found that Yan Qu had posted a photo with himself last week. Confucius asked, "You want to thank me, why don't you tell me directly?"

"This...this..." Yan Qu became embarrassed: "Actually, I want to let my friends know that I have such a great teacher...but it's true to thank the teacher! "

Confucius continued to look, and found that many people posted photos of food. Next time, there are all kinds of posts: sports, parties, carnivals, etc. The photos were all very beautiful, but Confucius wasn't interested until he saw another disciple, Zhongtian, posted the cover of The Analects! Confucius was expecting his disciples to understand the truth from the "Analects of Confucius". Unexpectedly, the post only wrote: "A good book can adjust your life. # TasteLife#LifelongLearning#self-improvement#Analects#Confucius" Confucius gradually understood that people The mentality behind it: Create a decent image for yourself, and a desirable life.

Confucius said with emotion: " It is not to worry about people's lack of knowledge, but to worry about their inability. "
