孔子形象的还原

The Reduction of Image of Confucius

孔子形象在不同时代被不同程度地改变塑造,更有甚者把他定义为不食人间烟火、天生的圣人,以致使孔子的形象发生了变形。本文意在还原孔子的真实面貌,尽可能接近真实的孔子形象。孔子并非是一个无所不知、接近完美的圣人形象,他其实是一个普通人,有真性情,高兴了会唱歌,也会开玩笑,伤心了会痛哭,生气了会现于色,看不顺眼时也会骂人,甚至说些过头的话。做事有成功亦有失败,但知错就改,好学谦虚,既受人爱戴,亦会遭受诋毁。

Confucius＇ image has changed to different degrees during different times, what＇s more he was defined as a out-of-touch, born saint, and thus the image of Confucius has been deformed. This paper intends to restore the real appearance of Confucius as close as possible his real image. Confucius is not a know-it-all and perfect saint. Instead, he is an ordinary person, he had tempers, he would sing when he was happy, he would joke, he would cry when he was sad, he would show his anger on his face, even call names and draw offensive remarks. He both succeeds and fails in something, but he would correct his mistakes when he realized them, he was fond of learning and modest, so he was both respected and defamed.
