《论语》章句直说——兼及孔子因材施教与知人善任

An Open Debate of Sections of The Analects of Confucius: On Confucius' Ways of Teaching Students in Accordance with Their Aptitude and Making Use of Personnel

《论语》一书至今尚有须正定真伪之处。学而后仕、仕中求学;颜回屡空、子贡货殖;因人而宜,各有短长。孔子视弟子如珍宝,念弟子如儿孙,悉弟子如心肝。其教必中肯綮,其导必现光明,令弟子心悦而诚服,然孔子仍自修不已,以策日新。

There is still much to be discussed about The Analects of Confucius. Whether a man should be a leader after he finishes his academic studies or while he is still studying is both acceptable to different people. The same story goes for Yan Hui who always went through great poverty and Zi Gong who was increasingly rich. Confucius loved his disciples very much. His disciples were greatly convinced by his teaching which was always touching and enlightening. However, Confucius himself never stopped studying, so as to keep himself refreshed every day.
