Meng YiZi ask about filial

Meng YiZi ask about filial

When Kong FuZi grant to be an official, Meng YiZi to express his respection,

He comes to Kong Fuzi's home with his 10 years old son sometime.

One day Meng YiZi visits again. He asks about filial quit seriously, when he

is leaving. Kong KuZi knows about Mr Meng's familly will hold a ceremony

recently. He thinks Mr meng ask this at this time not for respecting his

ancestor but for spending money and show his power to others.

Mr Kong knows it quickly and said, "Do nothing"

Mr Meng didn't ask further then go back home, but this made Mr Kong pretty

upsetting.

If Mr meng do some unsuitable things at ceremony, this would not just harm

Mr Meng's family, it would harm the whole country(because Mr Meng's family

is a powerful family in the country). If Mr Meng tell others when he does

this, he has asked me about this, then my political reputation will be dirted.

Mr Kong upset several days and he couldn't speak this directly to Mr Meng

because of It is rude to change his answers.

One day, one of his student named Mr Fan drive carrige for him. Mr Kong knows

this man is good at GongFu and get some appreciation from Mr Meng and they

have close ralationship.

Mr Kong spoke to Mr Fan, Do you know Mr Meng came to my home and asked me

about filial recently, Mr Fan said, I know his family would hold a ceremony

in the near future.

Do you know about filial?

Mr Fang dosen't speak anything, and think what Mr Kong said before. He thought

a long time but haven't got answer. Then Mr Kong said, I told "Suitable". What is

that "Do nothing" (suitable and do nothing have a simillar prononciation in chinese)

I don't know your meanings. Mr Fan said.

Maybe what I said it is too simple. Mr Meng said. My meaning is do ceremony shouldn't

has conflict to filial. When parents exists, people should take care of them with filial,

When they gone, people should memory with filial.

I think Mr Meng should know about this, because he has studied filial a long time. Mr Fan said.

I don't think so. Mr Kong said.

I heard about they would hold a ceremony recently, and this time should be fine spectacle. Mr Fan said.

You don't know filial as well, Mr Kong speak in a high voice.

Ceremony shouldn't be too simple and too spectacle. Spectacle is no more than simple. Mr Meng as a

High official, he should do this according his status. If he doesn't, other people will learn from

him, then the country becomes confused and conflicted. This is not for filial.

Mr Fan doesn't dare to have a look of Mr Kong and drive the carrige in dull.

Anyway, when they come back, Mr Fan visits to Mr Meng's home.
