摘　　要：孔子和子贡论"生无所息"的典故见于《荀子》《韩诗外传》《孔子家语》《列子》等文献,这些文献可以比较清晰地勾勒出孔子的人生哲学和生死智慧。君子下学而上达,修己以安人,为天地立心,为生民立命,儒家"内圣外王"的伟大理想注定了儒者的一生任重而道远,须弘毅刚健、自强不息。有生必有死,面临死亡,君子不会感到恐惧和不安;死亡是对宇宙大化的回归,儒者一生发奋以有为,只有到死才能得到最终的休息,君子在死亡面前从容而坦然。Confucius and Zi Gong＇s argument on ＂living without rest＂ can be seen in Xunzi,Han Shi Wai Zhuan, Kongzi Jiayu, Liezi etc. Through synthesizing these literatures, Confucius＇ philosophy of life and his wisdom of life and death is outlined. The superior man learns from below and reaches above ; improves himself to molify others ; sets his heart for heaven and earth and sets his life for the living men - Confucianism＇s great dream of ＂ being sage in soul and king in life＂ makes its fellows destined to live in their whole life with heavy burden and in long course - they must be firm, strong and strive to improve themselves without stop. Life comes with death so that the superior man won＇t be afraid and uneasy; death is a kind of return to the universe,and Confucian＇s life filled with practical efforts ,who cannot take his final rest till his death, and he is calm and candid when facing his death.
