Mencius
Tell the sonThe sue said: "Sex, like a willow; Righteousness is also a cup. Take human nature as benevolence and righteousness, as if the willow is the cup. ”
Mencius said: "Can the son follow the nature of the willow and think that it is a cup? Will the thief go to the willow and then think that the cup is also? If the thief is regarded as a cup, then the thief is also regarded as benevolence and righteousness. Those who lead the people of the world and cause misfortune to the righteous will be the husband of the son! ”
The confessor said: "Sex is like turbulent water, and if you decide the east, it will flow east, and if you decide the west, it will flow west." Human nature is not divided into good and bad, and water is not divided into things. ”
Mencius said: "Water faith is not divided into things, and it is not divided into upper and lower things? The goodness of human nature is also like water. There is nothing wrong with people, and there is nothing wrong with water. Now the husband fights and jumps, can make the wind, agitated, can make the mountain, is the nature of the water? And so it goes. What a person can do is not good, but so is his nature. ”
The confessor said: "Life is sex. ”
Mencius said: "The meaning of life is sex, and the meaning of white is whiteness?" ”
He said, "Yes." ”
"The whiteness of the white feather, the whiteness of the snow, the whiteness of the snow, the whiteness of the jade?"
He said, "Yes." ”
"But the nature of a dog is like the nature of a cow, and the nature of a cow is the nature of a man?"
The confession said: "Food color, sex also." Benevolence, inner also, non-outer also. Righteousness, outside, not inside. ”
Mencius said: "What is the meaning of benevolence and righteousness? ”
He said: "He is long and I am long, not longer than me." It is white and I am white, from its white to the outside, so it is called outside. ”
He said: "Different from the white of the white horse, it is no different from the white of the white man!" I don't know the length of the horse, it is no different from the length of the man? And what is the meaning of the elderly? What is the righteousness of the elders? ”
He said: "My brother loves it, but the brother of the Qin people doesn't love it, and he is the one who pleases me, so he is inside." The length of the long Chu people, but also the long of me, is to the long for the pleasing also, so it is called outside. ”
He said: "The burning of the Qin people is no different from the burning of the elderly." There are also husbands and things. But there is also an outside? ”
Meng Jizi asked Gongduzi: "What is righteousness?" ”
He said: "I am respectful, so it is said to be inside." ”
"If the villager is one year older than his uncle, who will respect?"
He said, "Brother respect." ”
"Who's going first?"
He said: "Drink the villagers first." ”
"What is respected here, what is good is there, and what is done is outside, not from the inside."
Gongduzi can't sue Mencius.
Mencius said: "Respect your uncle? Respect for my brother? He will say, 'To my uncle. He said: "My brother is a corpse, so who will respect him?" He will say, 'Respect my brother.' The son said, "Is the evil in his respect for his uncle?" He will say, 'Reign is also the same.' Zi Yi said: "I am in power." 'Yong respects the brothers, and the respect of the squirts is in the villagers. ”
Ji Ziwen said: "Respect your uncle is respectful, respect your brother is respectful, and the fruit is outside, not from the inside." ”
Gongduzi said: "Drink soup in winter, drink water in summer, and then eat and drink outside?" ”
Gongduzi said: "The confessor said: 'There is no good sex and no bad nature. Or say: "Sex can be good, it can be bad, so if the civil and military are prosperous, the people are good, and if the people are prosperous, the people are violent." Or say: 'There are good sex, and there are bad sex, so Yao is the king and has an image, and the blind is the father and has Shun, and the son of the brother is the king, and there is Wei Ziqi and the prince Bigan.' Now it is said that 'sex is good', but they are not good? ”
Mencius said: "If it is in its circumstances, it can be good, and it is the so-called good." If the husband is not good, he is also guilty of being untalented. Everyone has compassion; Everyone has a heart of shame; Respectful heart is shared by everyone; Everyone has the heart of right and wrong. compassion, benevolence; The heart of shame is also righteousness; Respectful heart, courtesy; The heart of right and wrong, wisdom also. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom are not imposed on me from the outside, but also by my inherentness. Therefore, it is said: if you ask, you will get it, and if you give it, you will lose it. or those who are twice as good as each other, and those who cannot do their best. "Poetry" says: "Born to steam people, there are things and rules." The people's Bingyi is good Yide. Confucius said, "For this poet, he knows!" Therefore, there must be rules, and the people are also Yiyi, so it is good to be virtuous. ’”
Mencius said: "If you are rich, your children will be lucky; Fierce years, children are violent. It is not the descending of heaven to be very special, and it is so that those who are trapped in their hearts are also. Now the wheat is sown and pruned, and the ground is the same, and the time of the tree is the same, and it is born spontaneously, and as for the time of the sun, it is all the same. Although there are differences, the land is fat, the rain and dew are nourished, and the personnel are uneven. Therefore, those who are of the same kind are similar, so why should people be suspicious? Saints and my kind. Therefore, Long Zi said: 'If you are not satisfied, I know that it is not a fool.' 'The similarity of the world's feet is the same. The mouth is in the taste, there is the same as the elderly, and the easy teeth are the first to get the elders in my mouth. If the mouth is in the taste, its nature is different from the person, if the dog and horse are not the same as me, then the world is from the easy tooth to the taste? As for the taste, the world is similar to the mouth of the world. But the same is true of the ear, as for the sound, the world is in the teacher's wilderness, and the ear of the world is similar. But the same is true, as for Zidu, the world knows what it is; Those who don't know the beauty of the capital are also eyeless. Therefore, it is said: the mouth is also the same as the taste; The ear is also to the sound, and there is the same hearing; The eyes are also beautiful. As for the heart, is there nothing the same? What is the same with the heart? It is also reasonable, and it is righteous. The saint first has the same ear as my heart. Therefore, the righteousness is pleasing to my heart, and it is still pleasing to my mouth. ”
Mencius said: "The wood of the cow mountain tastes beautiful." With its suburbs in a big country, the axe can be beautiful? It is the place where it rests day and night, the rain and dew moisten, not the life of the sprouts, and the cattle and sheep graze it, so that they are wet. When people see it, they think that they have not tasted the material, and this is not the nature of the mountain? Though he who exists in men, does he not have a heart of righteousness? Therefore, those who let go of their conscience are also like axes to wood. Can it be beautiful? Its day and night rest, its peaceful atmosphere, its likes and dislikes are similar to others, and its actions during the day are dead. If it is repeated, its night air is not enough to survive. If the night air is not enough, it will not be able to survive against the birds. When people see their beasts and think that they are not talented, is it not human's affection? Therefore, it can be nourished, and nothing does not grow; If you lose your nourishment, nothing will disappear. Confucius said: 'If you exercise, you will survive, and if you give up, you will die.' When you go in and out, you don't know where you are. 'Only the heart is said to be! ”
Mencius said, "There is no such thing as the unwisdom of the king." Although there are things that are easy to live in the world, one day is violent, ten days are cold, and there is no one who can live. I see it is rare, I retreat and the cold is the best, if I have a cuteness! Now the husband plays the number, and the decimal number is also; If you don't concentrate, you can't. Yi Qiu, the good player of the whole country. Let Yi Qiu teach two people to play: one of them concentrates, but Yi Qiu listens; Although one person heard it, he thought that a great bird was coming, and he thought of the bow and shot it. Although he learned from it, he could do it. Is it its wisdom and wisdom? Said: Not really. ”
Mencius said, "Fish, I can do whatever I want; Bear's paws, as well as I want. You can't have both, and you can't have both, and you can give up the fish and take the bear's paw. Life, also what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also. Life is also what I want, and what I want is more than the living, so I don't want to get it. Death is also evil to me, and evil is worse than the dead, so I have no way to get rid of it. If there is nothing more to make a man want than to live, then why not use those who can live? If there is no worse thing for a person than for the dead, then if you can cure the sick, why not? From what is, there is no need to be born, and from what is, there can be troubles and there are not actions. Therefore, what you want is more than the living, and what is evil is more than the dead, and the sage is not the only one who has the heart, and everyone has it, and the sage can not lose his ears. A spoonful of food, a bean soup, if you get it, you will live, and if you get it, you will die. Huer and with it, the doer of the way is receiving; With it, the beggars disdain. Wan Zhong did not distinguish between propriety and righteousness. What is the bell for me? For the beauty of the palace, for the devotion of wives and concubines, and for the poor who know me? The township is not subject to the death of the body, and now it is the beauty of the palace; The township is not subject to death, but now it is the worship of wives and concubines; The country is not subject to death, but now it is for the poor whom I know to do it—yes or can't it be? This is a loss of heart. ”
Mencius said: "Benevolence, people's hearts." Righteousness, human road also. Abandon their way and let go of their hearts, and don't know what to ask, alas! If people have chickens and dogs, they know what to ask for, and they can rest assured, but they don't know how to ask. There is no other way of learning, just ask for his rest assured. ”
Mencius said: "Now there is a nameless finger, and if you don't believe it, it's not a disease or a pain." If there are those who can be trusted, they will not follow the road of Qin and Chu, and they will not be as good as others. It means that if you are not human, you know evil; If the heart is not as good as a man, then he does not know evil. This is said to be unknowing. ”
Mencius said: "The Tong and Zi of the arch handle, people want to be born, and they all know that they are raised." As for the body, and those who don't know how to raise it, how can they love the body as well as Tong and Zizai? Firth even too! ”
Mencius said: "Man is also in the body, and he is also loved; If you love it, you will raise it at the same time. If the skin without size is not loved, then the skin without size is not nourished. Therefore, if he is good or not, how can he be he? It's just for yourself. There are noble and low, small and big. There is no harm to the small, and there is no harm to the expensive. The one who raises the little one is the little one. The one who raises it is an adult. Today, there is a field teacher, who gives up his sycamore and raises his thorns, which is a cheap field teacher. Raising one of its fingers, but losing its shoulders and back, and not knowing it, is a wolf disease. People who eat and drink are cheap, and they are raised for the small to lose the big. If there is nothing wrong with the people who eat and drink, then the mouth and stomach are not suitable for the size of the skin! ”
Gongduzi asked: "Jun is a human being, or an adult, or a villain, why not?" ”
Mencius said: "From its general body to the adult, from its small body to the small person." ”
He said: "Jun is a human being, either from its general body or from its small body, why not?" ”
He said: "The officials of the ears and eyes do not think, but hide from things." The exchange of things is just a matter of introduction. The official of the heart thinks; If you think about it, you will get it, and if you don't think about it, you can't do it. The place of heaven and I shall be established first by the greatest, and the lesser shall not be taken away. It's just for adults. ”
Mencius said: "There are those who have heavenly lords, and there are those who have lords." Benevolence, righteousness and faithfulness, tireless kindness, this heavenly lord also. Doctor, this person is also. The ancients cultivated their heavenly lords and the people followed them. Today's people cultivate their heavenly lords to ask for human lords. If you have won the title of man and abandon his heavenly lord, you will be confused even more, and you will eventually die. ”
Mencius said: "Those who want to be noble are also of the same heart." Everyone has someone who is more valuable than himself, Furth. Those who are noble are not noble. Zhao Mengzhi is expensive, and Zhao Mengzhi can be cheap. "Poetry" cloud: 'Both drunk with wine, full of virtue. 'Words are full of benevolence and righteousness, so they don't want the taste of people's anointing. Lingwen is widely known as a person, so he doesn't want people to embroider it. ”
Mencius said: "The victory of benevolence is not benevolence, and the victory of water over fire." Today's benevolent people are like saving a cart of fire with a glass of water. If it is not extinguished, it is said that the water is not hot. This is not even the same as being unkind, and it will eventually die! ”
Mencius said: "Those who have five grains are also those who are beautiful." It is not ripe, and it is not as good as weed. Furen also cares about familiarity. ”
Mencius said: "Yi Zhi teaches people to shoot, and they must be determined to shoot; Scholars must also be aspiring. The master teaches people, and he must follow the rules; Scholars must also follow the rules. ”
