  故事 孔子作为有名的教育家、社会活动家,极力主张以仁义道 德来治理国家,恢复过去周朝的礼制。他认为统治者只要用“仁义” 来感化百姓,处理诸侯国之间的关系,恢复礼制,天下就会安定。为 此他曾周游列国,向各诸侯国国君宣传自己的政治主张,并请他们 采纳。遗憾的是,他的那些政治主张并不像他的教学见解那样受人 敬佩和欢迎,到处碰壁。 孔子的学生颜回便去问鲁国一个叫太师金的官吏:“我的老师 孔子到处游说,劝人家接受他的主张,可是到处碰壁。这次去卫国, 你看情况会怎样?” 大师金摇摇头说:“我看还是不行。现在战乱四起,各国国君为 争地盘都在忙于打仗,对你老师的‘仁义道德’那一套非常反感,谁 会去听那些不合时宜的说教呢?如蔡、陈两国就是如此。如果到卫国 去游说,肯定不会有什么好结果。” 太师金又举例作进二步解释:“船在水里是最好的运输工具;车 是陆上最好的运输工具。如果硬要把船弄到陆上来运货,那是白费 力气,劳而无功。你的老师要去卫国游说,好比是把船弄到陆上去运 货一样,其结果,必然是劳而无功,可能还会招灾惹祸。你们不要忘 了去陈国的教训,那时你们到陈国不是没人理睬,而且七天弄不到 饭吃吗?”
