戏说孔子Joking Confucius 孔子在中国或者在整个亚洲的影响，只有苏格拉底和耶稣加起来才能顶得上，原因简而言之，就是他老人家即是哲学家又是神。可是不知道为什么，作为神在人们心目中的地位却没有另一个靠读他的《春秋》出名的关羽高，关帝庙在过去到处都是。 孔子用当今中国的观点来看是一位不同政见者，也正因为如此，他官场失意。为了实行自己的政治主张，他触犯了鲁国高层利益集团，因此受到排挤，鲁国呆不下去了，不得不到别处试试。说好了，叫周游列国；说不好了，就是拿着自己的简历到处应聘，跟今天找工作的大学生一样。所不同的是，他老人家被拒的理由总是资历过高。 孔子也尝试过走走后门，跟一个叫南子的卫国妃子套近乎，结果也没成功，因为从个性上他不是那样的人。后来孔子沦落到饿得差点没要了饭，自嘲，“如丧家之犬”。 孔子从各国转了一圈，没有得到一点机会。我个人认为根本原因是他心气太高，不把老板当老板，既不点头哈腰，又不请客送礼，这在中国古代不行，就是今天也同样不行。 常言道“知时务者为俊杰”，以孔子这样的聪明人看不出这个道理，难怪到处碰壁。最后他只能回老家靠教学生收学费过活。 孔子的一生真乃中国特色也。 In China or in Asia Confucius’ influence is equal to Socrates and Jesus combine together because in short, he is a philosopher and a god. However, I do not know why, as a god in people's minds, his position is not as high as Guan Yu who is famous because of reading his book "Spring and autumn", whose temples are everywhere in the past. Confucius with the perspective of today's China is a dissident. Because of this, he is a loser in officialdom. In order to implement their own political ideals, he violated senior political interest groups of Lu kingdom, and was marginalized. Disappointed in Lu, he had to try somewhere else. Well said, called the touring; bad said, that is holding his resume and looking for job everywhere, just like today's college students. The difference is that the reason he was always rejected was overqualified. Confucius tried to go through the back door by connection with a concubine of king of Wei kingdom named Nanzi, but did not succeed, because his personality is not this kind. At some point, Confucius and his followers were short of food, and had to go begging. Confucius self-mocked, "I am just like a dog who lose shelter." After travelling around six kingdoms, Confucius did not get any chance. I personally think that the root reason is his proud, he didn’t lower himself in front of the boss. He did not bow and scrape, and din not bribe, that is not right in ancient China and more wrong today. As the old saying goes "those who know the signs of the times are real wise men." Smart people like Confucius can’t see this, no wonder was rejected everywhere. Finally, he can only return home and made living on tuition by teaching students. Confucius's life is truly Chinese characteristics of an ambitious Chinese man.
