Heidegger called our attention to that objective concept lay a foundation on the argument of existence. It means there is a field of vision on the previous latitude which can open a comprehensible road of listening and watching.Our previous comprehension on Lunyu complies with this vision, and by using it to explain "Junzi are not mere vessels", we may achieve a better original experience of Confucius' thinking.Having seen the crisis appearance of existence on the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius set his mind on carrying forward Ren to benefit mankind. In view of the specific property of Ren and Junzi, after having analyzed "inquired about Ren" and "inquired about Junzi" in Lunyu, this article will show clearly that Ren is a kind of original comprehension of the relationship of person; and Junzi ,who enjoy a good reputation from Ren, is in the course of to-be . "Junzi are not mere vessels" is a lively description of Junzi' existential style, and our analysis of this style is to make clear that : "not mere vessels", from the obverse side to say , is to recommend a kind of manner on "sojourn in the arts " or "enjoy it", that is to say ,"give one's heart-and-mind free rein without overstepping the boundaries"; and from the reverse side to say, "not mere vessels" means that Junzi cannot become rigid or not like a vessel.In addition, by analyzing the difficult problem on "You are a vessel" and "not mere vessel", we come to recognize that this so-called poser maybe not exist.
