论颜回对孔子的助益

Exploration to Yanhui's to Confucius

颜回是孔子最得意的弟子。孔子曾说过"回也非助我者也"的话,但实际情况并非如此。与孔、颜同时代的人也不这样认为。颜回在道德修养、传道、守道、弘道,团结门人及思想方法等方面对孔子多所助益。孔子也曾说过颜回在"仁"、"信"方面要强于自己,又径直称之为"圣人",这些都说明"回也非助我者也"这一句并不能概括孔颜之间的关系。

Yan Hui was the best student of Confucius.Once Confucius said,those who are conducive to me will not against me.But actually that was not true.People in the same times with Confucius and Yan Hui did not agree with it either.Yan were conducive to Confucius in many aspects as moral,teaching,uniting and thought ways.Confucius also agreed that Yan were better than him in humanity and honesty.Confucius even took Yan as ＂sage＂.All of these shows that the sentence ＂those who are conducive to me will not against me＂ cannot epitomize the relationship between Confucius and Yan.
