Tsai Yu (also known as Tsi Tsu-wo) was one of Confucius' students. He was born in the kingdom of Lu. Confucius considered him to be good at speech. Tsai Yu once asked Confucius, "If somebody informs a benevolent person that a man has fallen into a well, should that person descend into the well to save him?" Confucius replied, "Not necessarily. Anyone might believe what another says and run to help, but he himself will not be trapped. He may be tricked by someone's logic, but that does not mean he will be fooled into doing something stupid himself.¡¨ ¡·The picture on this page are from: http://www.confucius-bj.org.cn/gujin/072/60.jpg |
