mean
The predicate of the Mandate of Heaven is sexuality, the predicate of recklessness is the Tao, and the predicate of cultivation is teaching. Those who are in the Tao must not be separated from it, but they can be separated, and they are not Taoists. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious of what he does not see, and fearful of what he does not hear. Don't see it, don't see it. Therefore, the gentleman is cautious. Joy, anger, sorrow and joy have not yet occurred, which is said to be in the middle; The hair is in the middle of the section, which is called the sum; Those who are in the middle are also the great capital of the world; Those who are harmonious are also the way of the world. To neutralize, heaven is in the ascendancy, and all things are nurtured.
Zhong Ni said: The gentleman is moderate, and the villain is anti-modest. The gentleman is also the mean, and the gentleman is in the middle; The villain is anti-modest, and the villain is unscrupulous. Zi said: The mean is the best! The people can live for a long time! Zi said: The way is not good, I know it. Those who know are too good, but those who are foolish are not as good as them. I don't know what the way is, but I know it. The sage is too much, and the unscrupulous are not as good as it. People don't eat and drink, and they rarely know the taste. Zi said: It's not a good man!
Zi said: Shun Qi Dazhi is also with! Shun is good at asking and observing, hiding evil and promoting good, holding on to both ends, using it for the people, and thinking that Shunhu!
Zi said: Everyone is said to know, and they are driven into all the traps, and Mo Zhi knows it. Everyone says that they know that they choose the mean, and they can't keep the month.
Zi said: If you return to be a person, choose the mean, and get a good, then you will be convinced and lost. Zi said: The world and the country can be equal, the lord can resign, the white blade can be followed, and the mean is impossible.
Zilu asked strong. Zi said: How strong is the south? How strong is the North? Or is it stronger? Gentle to teach, no retribution, the south is strong, and the gentleman lives in it. The golden leather is not tired of dying, the north is strong, and the strong live in it. Therefore, the gentleman is harmonious but not flowing, and it is strong! Neutral and unleaning, strong and correct! The country has a way, it is not blocked, and it is strong! There is no way in the country, it will not change until death, and it will be strong!
Zi said: Su Yin is strange, and there will be a description in later generations, and I will do it. The gentleman follows the way, half-painted and abandoned, and I can do it. The gentleman follows the mean, and he does not regret it when he does not know it, but only the saint can. The way of a gentleman is hidden. The foolishness of husband and wife can be related to knowledge, and even to the end, although the saints also do not know it; The husband and wife can be unscrupulous, and they can do it, even if the saints are also unscrupulous. The greatness of heaven and earth, people still have regrets, so the gentleman's words are big, and the world can not carry it; If the language is small, the world can not break it. Poetry: The kite flies in the sky, and the fish jumps in the abyss. It is also up and down. The way of a gentleman is to create a husband and wife, and to the end, to observe the heavens and the earth.
Zi said: The road is not far away. People are far away from the Tao, not the Tao. Shiyun: "Vakovake, it's not far away." "Holding Ke to Vake, looking at it, is still far away. Therefore, the gentleman rules people with people, and stops at changing. Loyalty and forgiveness are not far from the way, and do unto oneself and do not do unto others. The fourth way of a gentleman is that Qiu has not been able to do it. What the Son asks for is the Father, but he can't; What you ask for is the minister, but you can't; What he asks for is his brother, but he can't; What you ask for is given by your friends first, but you can't. The line of mediocrity, the prudence of mediocre words, there are deficiencies, do not dare not be reluctant, and dare not exhaust if there is more; Words and deeds, deeds and words, a gentleman is not a gentleman? The gentleman walks in his position, and does not want to care about anything else. Rich and noble, noble and noble; Poor and lowly, poor and lowly; Su Yidi, line Yidi; Hardship is the same, and the walk is hardship. The gentleman is not satisfied without entering. If you don't go down to the top, you don't help in the lower position, and you don't want to ask for others, then you have no complaints. The top does not complain about the sky, and the bottom does not complain about people. Therefore, the gentleman is easy to live, and the villain is lucky.
Zi said: Shoot a gentleman, lose all the right hooves, but ask for his body. The way of a gentleman is to go far and wide, and to be inferior if you climb high. The poem says: The wife is well together, like a drum and a harp; Brothers are both harmonious, happy and delayed. Yier's house, Leer's wife. Zi said: Parents are obedient!
Zi said: Ghosts and gods are virtuous, and they are prosperous! See it and see it, listen to it and hear it, and leave it behind. So that the people of the world, Qi Ming, dressed in full clothes, to bear the sacrifice, as if on it, as on its left and right. The poem says: "God's Gesi, unthinkable!" Think about it! "The husband is subtle, and the sincerity cannot be dismissed as such a husband!
Zi said: Shun Qi's great filial piety is also with! Virtue is a saint, respected as the Son of Heaven, rich in the four seas. The temple feasts, and the descendants protect it. Therefore, great virtue will get its position, it will get its lu, it will get its name, and it will get its longevity. Therefore, the creatures of heaven will be determined by their materials. Therefore, those who plant cultivate it, and those who overturn it overcome. The poem said: "Jiale gentleman, constitution and morality!" It is suitable for the people and pleasant, and it is blessed by the sky. Bless your life, from heaven! "Therefore the great virtuous will be ordained.
Zi said: Those who are worry-free, their only literature is king! With Wang Ji as the father, King Wu as the son, the father does it, and the son describes it. King Wu, King Zhang, Wang Ji, and King Wen have the world, and they do not lose their fame in the world; Respected as the Son of Heaven, rich within the four seas. The temple feasts, and the descendants protect it. At the end of King Wu, he was ordered, and Zhou Gong became a civil and martial virtue, chasing Wang Dawang and Wang Ji, and worshipping the ancestors with the gift of the Son of Heaven. Si Li also reached the princes, doctors, scholars, and concubines. The father is a doctor, the son is a scholar, the burial is a doctor, and the sacrifice is a priest. The father is a scholar, the son is a doctor, the burial is a scholar, and the sacrifice is a doctor. The mourning of the period reaches the doctor; Three years of mourning reached the Son of Heaven; The mourning of parents is not noble or cheap.
Zi said: King Wu and Zhou Gongqi are filial! The filial piety of the husband is good at the will of others, and the person who is good at telling people's affairs. In the Spring and Autumn Period, he repaired his ancestral temple, Chen Qizong, set up his clothes, and recommended his food. The ceremony of the temple, so the order is also clear; Preface, so distinguish between the noble and the low; preface, so distinguish the virtuous; The lower pay for the trip is the top, so the cheap is also caught; Swallow feathers, so the order teeth also. Practice its position, perform its courtesy, play its music, respect its respect, love its relatives, die like life, death like life, death like survival, filial piety. The gift of the suburban community, so the matter of God also; The ritual of the temple, so worship is also the first. It is clear that the gift of the suburbs, the righteousness of the taste, and the governance of the country is like showing the palms!
Mourning the public and asking about politics. Zi said: The politics of civil and military affairs are distributed in the square policy, and if its people exist, its political actions will be made; If his people die, his government will rest. Humane and sensitive, authentic sensitive. The husband is also the one who is in power, Pu Lu also. Therefore, the government is in the people, take the people to the body, cultivate the self to the Tao, and cultivate the Tao to be benevolent. The benevolent people are also, and the kiss is great; The righteous should also respect the virtuous. The killing of relatives, the respect of the virtuous, etc., are also born of rites. If you don't get it from the bottom, you can't get it from the top, and the people can't get it! Therefore, a gentleman cannot be uncultivated; Thinking about self-cultivation, you can't be indifferent; Thinking about things, you can't be ignorant of people; Thinking about people, you can't not be ignorant of the sky. The world's five ways are attained, so the three people who do it say: monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, Kundi, and friends. Five, the way of the world. The three who know the benevolence and the brave are the virtues of the world, so the ones who do are also one. or born to know, or learned to know, or sleepy to know, and to know, and to know, one; Or do it safely, or do it for profit, or do it reluctantly, and its success, too.
Zi said: Eagerness to learn is close to knowledge, practice is close to benevolence, and shame is close to bravery. If you know the three, you will know how to cultivate yourself; If you know how to cultivate yourself, you will know how to govern people; If you know how to govern people, you will know how to govern the world and the country. Where there are nine classics for the country in the world, it is said: self-cultivation, respect for the virtuous, kissing, respecting the ministers, the ministers of the body, the people of the people, the hundreds of workers, the people of Rouyuan, and the princes. Self-cultivation is the way, respect the virtuous is not confused, kisses are not complaining about the fathers and brothers, respecting the ministers is not dazzling, the ministers are reciprocated, the people are persuaded, the people are persuaded, the people are full of money, the people are far away, and the princes are afraid of the world.
Qi Ming is dressed in full clothes, and he is not moving, so he is self-cultivation; Go to slander the distant sex, cheap and noble, so persuade the virtuous; Respect their position, value their lu, and share their likes and dislikes, so persuade relatives to kiss also; The official is an envoy, so he advises the minister also; Faithfulness is important, so it is advisable to advise; The times are thin, so they persuade the people too; The daily and monthly tests are not only called things, so they persuade hundreds of workers; Sent to usher, Jiashan and can't, so Rouyuan people also; Following the peerless, the country was abolished, the chaos was in danger, and the time was hired, and the thick and thin came, so the princes were also conceived.
Whoever has nine classics for the world and the country, so those who do it, one also. If everything is prepared, it will be established, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted. The pre-word rule is not to stumble, the pre-rule is not sleepy, the pre-action rule is not guilty, and the pre-road rule is not poor.
If you don't get it from below, you can't get it from above, and the people can't get it; Gain the way: do not believe in friends, do not get the superior; Believe in friends: don't obey relatives, don't believe in friends; Obey the way of relatives: anti-body insincerity, not conformity; There is a way to be sincere, but there is no goodness, and there is no sincerity in the body.
Those who are sincere are also the way of heaven; Those who are honest are also the way of people. Those who are sincere, do not reluctantly, do not think, calmly and calmly, and the saints are also; Those who are sincere, those who choose good and stubborn.
Erudition, inquiry, prudence, discernment, and practice. There is Buddha learning, and learning is also Buddha and Buddha; There is a Buddha who asks, and the Buddha who asks knows the Buddha Cuo; There is Ferth, and the Philip of Thought; There is a Buddha discernment, and the Buddha of the discernment is also a Buddha and a Buddha cuo; There is a Buddha line, and the line is a Buddha and a Buddha cuo. One person can do a hundred, and a person can do a thousand. If you can do this, although you are stupid, you will be clear, and if you are soft, you will be strong.
Self-sincerity is the nature of the word; Self-evident and sincere, it is called teaching. Honesty is clear, and clarity is sincerity.
Only the world is sincere, in order to be able to do its best; If you can do your best, you can do your best; If you can fulfill the nature of people, you can fulfill the nature of things; If you can exhaust the nature of things, you can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth; You can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth, and you can participate in heaven and earth. Secondly, the song. The song can have sincerity, sincerity is form, form is writing, writing is clear, light is moving, moving is changing, and change is changing. Only the world's sincerity is energy. The way of sincerity can be known in advance. The country will prosper, and there will be auspiciousness; The country will perish, and there will be demons. Seeing the yarrow turtle, moving the four bodies. Good and bad are coming: good will be propheted; If it is not good, it will be propheted. Therefore it is as true as God.
The sincere are self-contained, and the Tao is self-assured. Sincerity is the beginning of the end of things, and there is nothing if there is no sincerity. Therefore, the gentleman's sincerity is precious. Those who are sincere are not self-contained, so they become things. Becoming oneself, benevolence; Something is known. The virtue of sex is also in line with the way of the outside and the inside, so it is appropriate to take measures at the right time. Therefore, sincerity is not interested, and it is long. If it is long, it will be long, and if it is long, it will be broad, and if it is thick, it will be wise. Bohou, so the load also; clever, so the cover also; It has a long history, so it is also a thing. Broad and thick with the land, smart with the sky, long and boundless. In this way, it is not seen, it does not move, it changes, and it becomes inaction. The way of heaven and earth can be exhausted in one word. If it is not a thing, then its biology is unpredictable.
The way of heaven and earth, Bo also, thick also, high also, Ming also, leisurely also, long also.
Today, there are so many and infinite things, the sun, moon and stars, and all things are overthrown. Today's land, a handful of soil, and its vastness, carry Huayue but not heavy, revitalize the river and sea without leaking, and all things are loaded. Jinfu Mountain, a roll of stones, and its vastness, plants and trees, birds and beasts dwell, treasures are prosperous. Today's husband water, a spoonful of much, and its unexpected, turtles, dragons, dragonfish, turtles, turtles, and turtles, and goods and wealth. Shiyun: The fate of Weitian is endless. Gai said that the reason why the sky is the sky. It's not obvious! The purity of King Wen's virtue! Gai said that the reason why King Wen is Wen is also pure is endless.
Great, the way of the saints! Yangyang, the development of all things, the extreme in the sky. You're great! Three hundred etiquette, three thousand prestige, wait for others and then do it. Therefore, it is said: It is not virtuous, and the way is not condensed.
Therefore, the gentleman respects virtue and learns, to the vast and subtle, extremely wise and modest. Review the old and learn the new, and be generous and respectful. Therefore, the top is not arrogant, and the bottom is not doubled; The country has a way, and its words are enough to prosper, and the country has no way, and its tacit is enough to tolerate. The poem says: Both clear and philosophical, in order to protect his body. What is this?
Zi said: Foolish and good for self-use, cheap and good for self-dedicated, born in the present world, against the ancient way. In this way, so is the calamity and the body. If you are not the Son of Heaven, you don't discuss etiquette, you don't have a system, and you don't study literature. Today, the car is on the same track, the book is the same, and the line is the same. Although he has his position, he has no virtue and does not dare to be courteous; Although he has his virtue, he has no place, and he does not dare to be courteous.
Zi said: I said Xia Li, but it is not enough to levy. I learn Yin Li, there is Song Cunyan; I learn the Zhou ceremony, and I use it today, and I follow the week. There are three times in the world, and their widowhood is too much! Those who are good have no levy, no levy, no faith, no believers, and no believers in the people; Those who are inferior are not respected, disrespected, disrespected, and disbelieved, and disobeyed. Therefore, the way of the gentleman is based on all bodies, conquering the common people, examining the three kings without Miao, building the heavens and the earth without disobedience, questioning the ghosts and gods, and the saints without confusion for a hundred generations. There is no doubt about the ghosts and gods, and they know the heavens; Hundreds of generations are not confused by saints, and they know people. Therefore, the gentleman moves the world for the world, acts and the world for the world's law, and speaks for the world. If it is far away, it is promising, and if it is near, it will not get tired. The poem says: There is no evil in it, and there is no shooting here; A few nights of dreams, with eternal reputation. There is no gentleman who is not like this, and the flea is famous in the world.
Zhong Ni Zu Shu Yao Shun, Charter Wenwu; When the law is in the sky, the water and soil are attacked. It is like the heaven and the earth, all of which are loaded, all of which are covered, such as the wrong actions of the four times, such as the sun and the moon. All things are nurtured and do not harm each other, the Tao is parallel but not contradictory, the small virtue flows, the great virtue is Dunhua, the reason why this world is big. Only the world is holy, for the sake of wisdom and wisdom, enough to have presence; Generous and gentle, enough to be tolerant; Strong and resolute, enough to be persistent; Qi Zhuang is upright, enough to have respect; Liberal arts and sciences are enough to make a difference. Pu Bo Yuanquan, and the time to come out. Pu Bo is like the sky, and the abyss is like the abyss. Seeing and the people are not disrespectful, words and the people are not believing, and deeds and the people are not saying. It is to spread its reputation in China and give to the barbarians; Where the boat goes, the man passes, the sky is covered, the earth is carried, the sun and the moon shine, and the frost and dew are teamed; Whoever has flesh and blood does not respect his relatives, so he is said to be worthy of heaven. Only the world is sincere, in order to be able to enrich the world's great scriptures, establish the world's foundation, and know the transformation and education of heaven and earth. Do you have something to rely on? Hello! Abyss! Mighty! If you are not solid, who can know the wisdom and wisdom of heaven and virtue? The poem says: The clothes are still beautiful. Evil writings are also written. Therefore, the way of a gentleman is dark and sunny; The way of the villain, but the day is dying. The way of a gentleman, light but not tired, simple and literate, gentle and reasonable, know the distance and near, know the wind from the self, know the subtlety, can be with the virtue. Shiyun: Although it is lurking, it is also clear. Therefore, the gentleman is introspective and not guilty, and there is no evil in his will. What a gentleman can't reach, only people can't see! Shiyun: In the room, it is worthy of the leakage of the house. Therefore, the gentleman does not move and respects, and does not believe what he says. The poem says: There is no word in the performance, and there is a dispute between the times. Therefore, the gentleman does not reward and the people persuade him, and he is not angry and the people are in power. The poem says: Don't show virtue! Punishment is unavoidable. It is the old gentleman who is respectful and the world is peaceful. The poem says: To Huai Mingde, not to be loud.
Zi said: The voice and color are to turn the people into people, and the end is also. The poem says: Virtue is like hair. Mao is still good. Carried by heaven, silent and odorless. Essentially.
