Reinterpretation of"Se Si Ju Yi"Chapter in The Analects of Confucius
The chapter"Se Si Ju Yi"in The Analects of Confucius·Xiang Dang has yet to be definitely in-terpreted.Since the Han Dynasty,scholars have come up with an endless stream of interpretations.If you want to find a correct solution,you can start with the subject of"Se Si Ju Yi",take the words"Shi""Gong"and"Xiu"as the core of the discussion,and seek its meaning by combining the background of the story,characters'personalities,pheasant habits and other aspects.In this chapter,Confucius ran out of food and wanted to hunt a female pheasant,but Zi Lu missed the shot when trying to shoot the pheasant.The pur-pose of this chapter is to promote Confucius'positive and optimistic attitude towards life,to achieve the har-mony and unity of"benevolence"and"propriety",so as to create an image of Confucius who practices learning with his own life.
