in the ocean of confucian learning, confucius, zilu, yan hui and others engaged in a dialectic of thought. they face different difficulties and challenges, and interpret the meaning of "benevolence and righteousness" in their own way under different circumstances. among them, the dialogue between zilu and yan hui shows the philosophical significance of confucianism and also provides us with a way to think about the value of life and pursue the truth.

“dangerous roads”, this is confucius' true feeling when facing difficulties. he understands that the meaning of "benevolence and righteousness" is not single, but requires constant exploration and practice to finally reach the true realm. "if a benevolent person would surely gain the trust of others, would it be possible that boyi and shuqi starved to death on mount shouyang? ” his words show us the difficulty of the path of cultivation and also reflect the connotation of benevolence and righteousness, which requires constant efforts to achieve.

zigong asked confucius: "teacher's teachings are too great to be contained in the vast world.", this seemingly contradictory statement reveals the complexity of "benevolence and righteousness". the path to pursuing truth is not a single norm, but requires constant exploration and practice to ultimately reach the true realm. zigong's ideas also reflect his understanding of confucianism. he longs for the confucian way to be feasible and hopes that confucius can be more flexible and tolerant.

yan hui responded with the dialectical theory of "others cannot tolerate you". his answer is "the more others cannot tolerate you, the more the greatness of your cultivation becomes apparent". this also reflects the philosophical significance of confucianism. the path to pursuing truth is not a single norm, but requires constant exploration and practice to ultimately reach the true realm.

confucius as a person who “knows it is impossible but still does it” the path he experienced is a testimony to the philosophical thinking of confucianism. his life and thoughts reflect the connotation of "benevolence and righteousness" and have benefited countless people. his spirit inspires every idealistic person to explore their own value and meaning, and constantly practice and implement it.
