Mencius
Teng Wen GongTeng Wengong was the son of the family, and he passed the Song Dynasty to see Mencius. Mencius is good-natured, and his words must be called Yao Shun. The son of the world rebelled from Chu and saw Mencius again.
Mencius said: "The son of the world doubts what I say? That's it. Cheng said Qi Jinggong: 'His husband is also, my husband is also, why am I afraid of him?' Yan Yuan said: "Who is Shun?" To whom? The same is true for those who are promising. Gong Mingyi said: "King Wen and my teacher, how can Duke Zhou deceive me?" 'Today, Teng will make up for his weaknesses, and he will be fifty miles, and he can still be a good country. The book says: 'If the medicine is not dizzy, the disease will not be sick.' ’”
Teng Ding Gongxue, the prince of the world said: "The former Mencius tasted and I spoke in the Song Dynasty, and I will never forget it." Now it is also unfortunate that as for the great cause, I want to make the son ask Mencius, and then act. ”
Zou of Ranyou, asked Mencius.
Mencius said, "It's not good! Relatives committed suicide in mourning. Zeng Zi said: 'Life, things are courteous; Death, burial with ceremony, sacrifice with ceremony, can be described as filial piety. 'The gift of the princes, I have not learned. Although, I have tasted and heard: three years of mourning, fasting and sparse clothes, and the food of porridge, since the Son of Heaven reached the Shuren, three generations together. ”
However, the friend rebelled and was set to be mourned for three years. My father and brother didn't want it, so they said: "My ancestor Lu Xianjun Mo's trip, my ancestor's journey is also Mo's line; As for the body of the Son and vice versa, not. And the "Chronicles" said: "The funeral sacrifice comes from the ancestors." ’”
He said, "I have something to suffer." Yu Ranyou said: "I haven't tasted knowledge in the day, so I can gallop and try it." Today, my father and brother are not enough; I'm afraid it won't be able to do its job. Zi asked Mencius for me. ”
Ran Youfu Zou, asked Mencius.
Mencius said, "Of course, you can't ask for it." Confucius said: 'Jun Xue, listen to the mound Zai, porridge, dark ink, and cry when he takes the throne. Hundreds of officials have divisions, don't dare not mourn, the first. There will be good ones above, and there will be very good ones below. The virtue of a gentleman, the wind; The virtue of the villain, the grass also. The wind on the grass will die. ’。 It is the son of the world. ”
Friends rebelled.
The prince said: "Yes, it is sincerity in me." ”
In May, he lived in the house, and there was no life ring. The people of the Baiguan clan can be said to know. As for the burial, the Quartet came to see it. The relatives of color, the sorrow of crying, the joy of the hanger.
Teng Wengong asked for the country.
Mencius said: "Civil affairs cannot be delayed. "Poetry" cloud: 'The day is in the grass, and the night is in the grass. It is urgent to take the house, and it begins to sow a hundred grains. 'The people are the way, those who have constant production have perseverance, and those who do not have constant production have no perseverance. There is no perseverance, and there is no way to do it. and to be caught in a crime and then punished accordingly, it is a reckless reckless to the people. How can there be a benevolent person who can do anything without regard to the people? Therefore, the virtuous monarch must be courteous and thrifty, and take it from the people's ownership. Yang Hu said: 'For the rich is not benevolent; For the benevolent is not rich. 'The Xia Hou clan is fifty and tribute, the Yin people are seventy and help, and the Zhou people are one hundred acres and thorough. In fact, it's all tithes. Those who are thorough are also thorough, and those who help are also borrowed. Long Zi said: 'You are not good at helping the land, and you are not good at paying tribute. Tribute school is a few years old. Happy years of rice wolf, take more than abuse, then take little; If the dung of the field is insufficient in the fierce year, it will be profitable. For the people's parents, so that the people will be diligent all year round, and they will not be able to support their parents, also known as loans for benefits, so that the old and childish will turn to the ravine, and the evil will be in the people's parents? 'Fu Shi Lu Teng is solid. "Poem" cloud: 'The rain on my public land, then my private. 'Only help is to have public land. From this point of view, although Zhou also helps. It is set up as a school to teach. The one who is raised is also raised, the school is taught, and the preface is shot. Xia said the school, Yin said the order, Zhou said the Xuan, and the three generations of learning were all so Mingren. The people are clear at the top, and the small people are close to the bottom. If there is a king, he will come to take the law, and he will be the teacher of the king. "Poetry" cloud: 'Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed. 'King Wen is also called. The Son will do what he does, and he will also take the kingdom of the new Son. ”
Make Bi Zhan ask the well.
Mencius said: "The prince of the son will be benevolent, and if he chooses to make the son, the son will be reluctant." The government of benevolence must begin from the meridian boundary. The meridian boundary is not right, the well is not good, and the valley is uneven. Therefore tyrants and corrupt officials shall slow down their boundaries. The meridian boundary is correct, and the field is divided into systems, and it can be determined. The land of Futeng is small, and it will be a gentleman and a savage. There is no gentleman to govern the savage, and no savage man to raise the gentleman. Please help Ye Jiuyi, and the tithes in the country will be self-empowered. There must be Keita below. Fifty acres of Guitian and twenty-five acres of Yufu. If there is no way out of the countryside, the countryside is in the same well, in and out of each other's friends, watching and helping each other, and supporting each other in sickness, then the people are friendly. square and well; The well is 900 acres, of which it is public land. The eight families are all private 100 acres and raise public land together. After finishing business, and then dare to deal with private affairs, so don't be savage. This is also rough. If the husband moistens it, then it is in the king and the son. ”
There is a person who is for Shennong's words, Xu Xing, since Chu Zhiteng, followed the door and told Wen Gong, saying: "The people of the party, hearing the benevolent government, are willing to accept a house and become a gangster." ”
Where the text is and the public. There were dozens of his disciples, all dressed in brown clothes, and they tied up and weaved mats for food.
Chen Liang's disciple Chen Xiang and his younger brother Xin were born from Song Zhiteng. He said: "Wen Jun is a saint and a saint, and he is willing to be a saint." ”
Chen Xiang was overjoyed when he saw Xu Xing, and he abandoned his studies and learned. Chen Xiang saw Mencius and said to Xu Xingzhi: "Teng Jun is also a sincere and virtuous gentleman; Although, unheard of also. The sage and the people plough and eat together, and feed and rule. Today, there is also a warehouse treasury, which is a strong people and self-supporting, and evil is virtuous? ”
Mencius said: "Xu Zi will plant millet and then eat it?" ”
He said, "Yes." ”
"Xu Zi will weave cloth and then clothe?"
He said: "No, Xu Ziyi is brown." ”
"Xu Ziguanhu?"
He said, "Crown." ”
Said: "Xi Guan? ”
He said, "Guansu." ”
He said: "Self-weaving? ”
He said, "No, I will exchange it." ”
said: "Xu Zixi is not self-weaving? ”
He said: "It is harmful to farming." ”
He said: "Xu Zi uses a kettle to retort and plough with iron? ”
He said, "Yes." ”
"Self-inflicted?"
He said, "No, I will exchange it." ”
"Those who exchange weapons with millet are not cultivated vigorously; Cultivating and changing millet with weapons, is it a good farmer? And why didn't Xu Zi take it from his palace and use it for edification? What is the transaction with Baigong? Why don't you worry? ”
He said: "The work of a hundred works cannot be cultivated and done." ”
"Then the world can be ruled alone, and it is with you? There are things for adults and things for villains. And one person's body, and a hundred workers are prepared. If you must do it yourself and then use it, it is to lead the world and the way. Therefore, it is said: or labor, or labor. Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people. Those who govern eat people, and those who govern eat people; The common meaning of the world is also. When Yao, the world was still not peaceful, and the flood was overflowing in the world; The vegetation is lush, and the birds and beasts reproduce; The grain does not climb, and the beasts are disgraceful; The way of the hooves and birds' tracks is handed over to China. Yao is worried, and he is perfunctory. Shun makes the benefit of palm fire; The mountains were burned, and the beasts fled. Yu sparse nine rivers, and poured into the sea; Decide Ru, Han, Pai Huai, Si, and note the river, and then China can get and eat. When it was time, Yu was eight years outside, three times through its door and did not enter, although it wanted to cultivate, it was obtained? Houji taught the people to harvest crops, arboriculture grains, and the grains were ripe and the people nurtured. People have a way, they are full of food, simmering clothes, living in ease and no religion, and they are close to beasts. The saint is worried, so that the deed is Situ, and the teaching is human: father and son have relatives, monarchs and ministers have righteousness, husband and wife are different, the elders and young are orderly, and friends have faith. Fang Xun said: 'The labor comes, the Kuang is straight, the auxiliary wing, so that it is self-satisfied; and thus revitalized virtue. 'The saints are so worried about the people, and they are not working? Yao is worried about not being able to Shun; Shun is worried about not being able to Yu and Gaotao. The husband is worried about the difficulty of 100 acres, and the farmer is also. Divide people with wealth, teach people to be loyal with kindness, and say benevolence for those who win people in the world. Therefore, it is easy to win people in the world, but it is difficult to win people in the world. Confucius said: 'Great, Yao Zhi is the king! Only the sky is great, but Yao is the rule. The people are incompetent! Jun, Shunya! Towering has the world but not with it! 'Yao Shun's rule of the world, is it useless to use his heart? It is also not used for ploughing ears. I have heard of those who use Xia to change to raze, but I have not heard of those who have changed to raze. Chen Liang, Chu Chanye; The way of Yue Zhou Gong and Zhong Ni, the north studied in China, and the scholars of the north failed or the first. He is also a so-called hero. The brother of the son has been in business for decades, and the teacher has died and doubled. In the past, Confucius didn't, three years later, the people of the door will return, enter the Zigong, cry to each other, all lose their voices, and then return. Zigong rebelled, built a room in the field, lived alone for three years, and then returned. He lived in Xia, Zizhang, and Ziyou as if he were a saint, and wanted to do what Confucius did to strengthen Zengzi. Zeng Zi said: "No, Jianghan is wet, the autumn sun is violent, and Haohao is impossible." 'The people who are also the tongues of the South Barbarians today are not the way of the first kings, and the teachers of Zibeizi learn from them, which is also different from Zeng Ziyi. I have heard of those who came out of the valley and moved to the trees, and I did not hear of the trees and entered the valleys. Lu Song said: 'Rong Di is Ying, Jing Shu is punishment. 'Zhou Gongfang and Yingzhi, the son is learning, and he is not fickle! ”
"From the way of Xu Zi, the city is not second, and there is no hypocrisy in the country; Although the five-foot child is suitable for the market, it is not to be bullied. The length of the cloth is the same, then Jia is similar; If the weight of the hemp wisp is the same, it is similar to Jia; If the grains are the same, they are similar; If the size is the same, Jia is similar. ”
He said: "The husband and the thing are not even, and the love of the thing is also." or doubled, or hundred, or tens of millions; Compared with the same, it is a chaotic world. Giant and small are the same, how can people do it? From the way of Xu Zi, the hypocrite is also, and the evil can govern the country? ”
The ink scholar Yizhi asked to see Mencius because of Xu Pi. Mencius said: "I am willing to see, but now I am still sick, and I will see you when I recover." "Yizi is not coming.
He asked to see Mencius again one day. Mencius said, "I can see it now." If it's not straight, I won't see it, and I'll be straight. I heard that Yizi ink, the treatment of ink is also mourning, and thinness is also the way. Yizi thinks about the world, how can he think that it is not expensive or not? However, Yizi buries his relatives, and he is also a lowly relative. ”
Xu Zi told Yizi. Yizi said: "The way of Confucianism, the ancients 'if you protect the child', what does this mean?" It is thought that there is no difference in love, etc., and it starts with the family. ”
Xu Zi sued Mencius. Mencius said: "Do you believe that the son of a man is a relative of his brother, and if he is a son of his neighbor? He has to take it. The naked son will crawl into the well, and it is not the sin of the child. And the creatures of heaven also make one of them, and Yizi is also two. If there is a person in the world who does not bury his relatives, his relatives will be entrusted with the death of his relatives. As his days passed, the foxes ate it, and the gnats ate it. It has a muddy wind, and it does not look at it. The husband is also not a person, and the center is up to the face. Cover it up and cover it up, and cover it up with sincerity. Then the filial son and benevolence cover their relatives, and there must be a way. ”
Xu Zi told Yizi. Yizi was stunned and said: "It's fate." ”
