Fan chi once asked Ren, Confucius answered love. From here, we all think that the Ren has a mean - love. In spite of this, we changed the Ren to love to read the analects of Confucius is met a lot of contradictions. Therefore, the author tries to look at this discusses the real meaning of Ren, and found Ren had entered the social, choice conforming to the meaning of the monarch. Therefore, Confucius is not Ren is equivalent to the meaning of love, but the one of the main characteristics of Ren for love. From this point of view, we can doubt whether Ren asked us have to follow? In other words, said Ren can be said to obey, and obedience to have two kinds of meaning: one is the positive obedience, the other is the meaning of negative follow blindly. So in the analects of Confucius, and another disciple Zi lu and Zi gong attacked the Guan zhong not follow his monarch die together. However, Confucius did not agree with their opinion, instead of correcting the idea said “it is just the surface of the kernel.” Therefore, Ren of the real meaning is choice to comply with the monarch to settle the country and make people life safe.
