Analekte des Konfuzius

Übersetzung James Legge

A youth of the village of Que was employed by Confucius to carry the messages between him and his visitors. Some one asked about him, saying, "I suppose he has made great progress." The Master said, "I observe that he is fond of occupying the seat of a full-grown man; I observe that he walks shoulder to shoulder with his elders. He is not one who is seeking to make progress in learning. He wishes quickly to become a man."

Übersetzung James Legge

The Master said, "Even in my early days, a historiographer would leave a blank in his text, and he who had a horse would lend him to another to ride. Now, alas! there are no such things."

Übersetzung James Legge

Zi Zhang was learning with a view to official emolument. The Master said, "Hear much and put aside the points of which you stand in doubt, while you speak cautiously at the same time of the others - then you will afford few occasions for blame. See much and put aside the things which seem perilous, while you are cautious at the same time in carrying the others into practice - then you will have few occasions for repentance. When one gives few occasions for blame in his words, and few occasions for repentance in his conduct, he is in the way to get emolument."

Damit, daß die Regelung des Hauses auf der Bildung der Persönlichkeit beruht, ist folgendes gemeint: Die Menschen haben Vorurteile, wo sie lieben und schätzen; sie haben Vorurteile, wo sie geringachten und hassen; sie haben Vorurteile, wo sie fürchten und ehren; sie haben Vorurteile, wo sie bemitleiden und bedauern; sie haben Vorurteile, wo sie herabsehen und verachten. Darum sind die Menschen selten auf Erden, die jemand lieben und doch seine Fehler kennen, die jemand hassen und doch seine Vorzüge kennen. So sagt schon ein Sprichwort: Niemand kennt die Sünden seines Sohnes; niemand kennt die Fülle seiner Saaten. Das ist damit gemeint, daß, wenn die Persönlichkeit nicht gebildet ist, das Haus sich nicht regeln läßt.

James Legge

What is meant by "The regulation of one's family depends on the cultivation of his person is this:-men are partial where they feel affection and love; partial where they despise and dislike; partial where they stand in awe and reverence; partial where they feel sorrow and compassion; partial where they are arrogant and rude. Thus it is that there are few men in the world who love and at the same time know the bad qualities of the object of their love, or who hate and yet know the excellences of the object of their hatred. Hence it is said, in the common adage,"A man does not know the wickedness of his son; he does not know the richness of his growing corn." This is what is meant by saying that if the person be not cultivated, a man cannot regulate his family.
