Activity 1
1. Who is the man in the first picture
2. What do you know about him from the second picture
孔子(公元前 551—前 479 年),名丘,字仲尼。春秋末期思想家、政治家和教育家,儒家学派创始人。
孔子青年时便以广博的礼乐知识闻名于鲁国,做过管粮仓、管放牧的小官。中年聚徒讲学,从事教育活动。五十多岁时,担任鲁国大司寇,其间以大司寇身份摄行相事(代行丞相职权)。后因政见不合而弃官,偕弟子周游列国。晚年回到鲁国,致力教育事业,整理《诗》《书》,删修《春秋》,以传述六艺为志业。
孔子所创立的儒学长期以来是中国传统文化的主干。记录孔子一生言行和思想的《论语》一书,是研究孔子学说的主要资料。
Background
Activity 2
Confucius
What does Confucius’s story remind you of
How did you deal with the problems in your learning
Confucius (551 BCE—479 BCE) was one of the greatest thinkers and educators during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Like many other masters, Confucius started as a hard-working student. At 15, Confucius got down to studying. He studied music, math, literature and other subjects. When he was learning Shao music in the State of Qi, he was lost in the music and hardly noticed the taste of meat for a few months.
Read the text and answer the questions.
Later, Confucius opened a private school and started teaching there. People came to study at his school. One of his students was Zilu. Zilu was too confident about himself. So once Confucius told him, “To know what you know and what you do not know, that is wisdom.” It tells us we should learn knowledge in an honest way. In his late years, even when Confucius became a master, he never stopped learning from others. Confucius told his students, “When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers.” This famous saying shows the learning spirit of Confucius.
It is not easy to understand all the thoughts of Confucius. You may need to draw on his wisdom from time to time. Just like the master said, “Review the old knowledge and you will have new ideas.”

Activity 2
Sentences
At 15, Confucius got down to studying.
在 15 岁时,孔子下定决心要学习。
get down to 意为“开始做某事;开始认真注意(或对待)某事”,
to 为介词,后接名词、代词或动词的 -ing 形式。
例如:
I like to get down to work by 9.
我喜欢在九点之前开始工作。
He got down to thinking about the problem.
他开始认真思考这个问题。
Sentences
When he was learning Shao music in the State of Qi, he was lost in the music and hardly noticed the taste of meat for a few months.
他在齐国学习韶乐时,为之深深着迷,几个月内吃肉都不知味道。
出自《论语》第七篇《述而》,原文为:子在齐闻《韶》,三月不知肉味。
be lost in sth. 意为“全神贯注;沉浸于”。
例如:
He is lost in his books.
他沉浸于他的书中。
Sentences
So once Confucius told him,“To know what you know and what you do not know, that is wisdom.”
所以孔子曾经告诉过他:“知之为知之,不知为不知,是知也。”
这句话的意思是:知道就是知道,不知道就是不知道,这样才是真正的智慧。
这句话出自《论语》。文中同样出处的句子有:
When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers. 三人行,必有我师焉。
Review the old knowledge and you will have new ideas. 温故而知新。
