From now on, the people of Lu will not be willing to redeem their compatriots who have become slaves. "

Sogou encyclopedia-the method of Lu state

2. English translation of Lu laws: Lu Weichen (for) concubines (for) princes, and those who can redeem them get gold. The original law of Lu: Lu is a vassal's servant concubine, and those who can redeem it take gold from the government. The deeds of a sage can change customs, but teaching can be applied to others, not just doing it. Nowadays, there are few rich people in Lu, and there are many poor people. It is not harmful to take their money. Then no one will be saved. "(2) Lutz (4) save drowning people by cattle worship, Confucius said that Lu people will save drowning people better. (Selected from Feng Menglong's Think Tank) (It is also recorded in Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals) [Note] ① House: refers to the state treasury. ② Zi Gong: Confucius' student. 3 grant: the name of Zigong. 4 Luz: Confucius' student. Translate into modern times. You can get rewards and bonuses from the state treasury. On one occasion, Zi Gong, a disciple of Confucius, redeemed his slaves, but when he came back, he shirked his reward and bonus. Confucius blamed him for doing wrong, because from now on, Lu people will not redeem slaves.

3. Translation of Confucius's Law of Lu: Lu people are slaves of princes, and some can be redeemed. There is a law in Lu. If the Lu people are slaves of princes, some can redeem them and get bonuses from the state treasury.

On one occasion, Zi Gong (Duanmu Ci) redeemed a Lu native from a vassal, but refused to accept the bonus. Confucius said, "You are wrong.

A saint can change (local) customs and teach people, not just for his own actions. Now there are fewer rich people in Shandong and more poor people. It won't damage the value of your behavior (if you get the national bonus); If (you) refuse to get back the money you paid, others will refuse to redeem others. "(another day), Lutz saved a drowning man. The man thanked him and gave him a cow, which Luz accepted.

Confucius said happily, "(now) the people of Lu will bravely save the drowning man." .

4. The translation of Lu Lv comes from a famous allusion in Lu Chunqiu Tea Talk Record:

According to the law of Lu, the people of Lu are the slaves of the princes, and those who can redeem them will take money from the government. Zi Gong redeemed the Lu people from the princes, and he didn't take their gold with him when he came. Confucius said, "It was a mistake. Since then, Lu people have never redeemed others. If you take its gold, it will not hurt you. If you don't take the gold, you won't redeem it. " Lutz saves drowning people, who worship them with cows, and Lutz suffers greatly. Confucius said, "Lu people will save the drowning."

According to the law of Lu, people in Lu are slaves in other vassal countries, and if someone can help them to be redeemed, they can come back and get paid from the state treasury. Zi Gong, a student of Confucius, redeemed a Lu native from other vassal countries, but refused to accept the reward after returning. Confucius said, "It is wrong for you to do this. From then on, Lu people no longer redeemed people. Accepting the reward from the state treasury will not damage his character, but he will not redeem anyone without accepting the reward. "

Another student of Confucius, Luz, saved a man from drowning. The man thanked him with a cow, and Luz accepted. Confucius said, "Lu people will have the courage to save those who fall into the water in the future."

On the surface, both of them have done good things, but Zigong does not ask for anything in return, which seems to be closer to the selfless dedication in our traditional education. In contrast, Lutz is much inferior. In the spring and autumn period of agricultural society, a cow can be regarded as a valuable gift. Accepting such a valuable reward is far from the spirit of Lei Feng that we admire. However, Confucius' evaluation of their behavior is just the opposite. He thought that Zigong's behavior was "wrong" and it was said that Zigong would be expelled from his inheritance. He recognized Lutz's behavior very much and gave him encouragement.

Confucius commented on nature for a reason. Although Zi Gong's behavior looks noble and free and easy, it raises the standard of "benevolence" in private. In his view, "benevolence" is not only to save compatriots, but also to ask for nothing in return. Zi Gong is the richest man among Confucius' disciples, and his remuneration is nothing compared with his great wealth. But for others, the reward he gave back was not a small sum. In the face of real life, most people can't be as free and easy as him. After all, "free and easy" requires capital. Therefore, many people will choose Zigong's lofty image to retreat, that is, as Confucius asserted, "Lu people do not redeem others." If Zi Gong is trying to achieve his reputation, we can think that he is selfish and even shows off. If Zi Gong is purely generous in aiding needy people, then at least he is not so smart. In a word, Confucius' evaluation is correct-"Give is lose".

5. It is urgent to translate the Law of Lu. The law of Lu: Lu is a vassal, and those who can redeem it take gold from the government. Zigong redeemed the people of Lu from the princes and gave them gold. Confucius said, "It was a mistake. Since then, Lu people have never redeemed others. " If you take away its gold, it won't hurt the bank. If you don't take its gold, you won't be saved.

Lutz saves drowning people, who worship them with cows, and Lutz suffers greatly. Confucius said, "Lu people will save the drowning." (From Lu Chunqiu Cha Wei) There is a law in Lu. People in Lu are enslaved abroad, and those who can redeem them can go to the national treasury to redeem them. Zigong redeemed a slave from Lu in the vassal state, but refused to accept compensation when he arrived in Lu. Confucius said, "Duanmu Ci, your method is not good. From now on, the people of Lu will no longer redeem their compatriots who have become slaves. "

Luz saved a drowning man. The man thanked him and gave him a cow, which Luz accepted. Confucius said, "(Now) Lu people should have the courage to save those who fell into the water."
