Chapter 66 66. Confucius is questioning

■Confucius "entered the Taimiao, asked about everything", Confucius just asked, did he ask? □ "When you enter the Taimiao, ask about everything" is not a question, but a rhetorical question.The original text in the middle is that Confucius entered the Taimiao and asked questions about everything. Everyone was surprised. Who said that this old man is an expert in etiquette? Why does he know nothing and ask everything.In fact, the truth is that the tone of Confucius was asking rhetorical questions one by one, replacing irony with rhetorical questions, which indirectly proves that you have exceeded the norms of etiquette in the Taimiao.Let's recite the original text of the truth:

When the son entered the Taimiao, he asked about everything.Or said: "Who is it that the son of a man knows the rituals? When he entered the Taimiao, he asked about everything." The son heard about it and said, "Is it the rituals?" Confucius experts on the market translated this passage into When Confucius was a doctor in the state of Lu, he first entered Zhougong Temple to help sacrifices, and asked people about everything.Some people laughed at him and said: "Who said this young man in Heyi knows the etiquette? When you enter the Zhougong Temple, you have to ask people about everything." Confucius heard this and said, "Be careful in everything, and ask if you don't understand. This is etiquette." what!"

In fact, Confucius experts have all translated it wrong.The word "ye" in "is li ye" in "is li ye" means "ye", and "is li ye" is the rhetorical tone of "is li ye", which means to ask rhetorically: is this li?The ceremony of the Son of Heaven is actually used in Zhougong Temple. This is the norm of the Passover ceremony. Is the ceremony supposed to be like this?I said a lot just now, and I was pointing out that Confucius was not asking, but asking rhetorically.Is it "big river and sea"?
