Rites
universityThe way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained. Things have a beginning and an end, and knowing the order is the shortest.
Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you must first know it, and you will know it in Gewu. Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then the world is peaceful. From the Son of Heaven to the common people, all of them are based on self-cultivation. Its original chaos and the end of the rule is not, its thick is thin, and its thin is thick, and there is nothing. This is called the knowledge of the book, and this is the knowledge of the best.
The so-called sincere people do not deceive themselves, such as the stench, such as lustful, this is called self-humility. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious of his independence. The villain is not good at idleness, he does everything, and he is disgusted when he sees the gentleman, and he is not good and he is good. If a man sees himself as his lungs and liver, what good will it be! This is said to be sincere in the middle, and the form is outside, so the gentleman must be cautious of his independence. Zeng Zi said: "Ten eyes see, ten hands point, it is strict!" "Furun House, Derun Body, Broad Heart and Fat Body, so the gentleman will be sincere.
Poetry: "Zhan Bi Qiao, Zhu Zhu Yiyi." There are Fijian gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. It's noisy, it's noisy. There is a Fijian gentleman, and you can't be embarrassed! "If you are like a learner, you will learn Taoism; If you are like grinding, you can also self-study; Those who are sloppy and sloppy are also sorrowful; Those who are noisy are also majestic; There are Fijian gentlemen, who can not be disgraced in the end, the Tao is virtuous and good, and the people cannot forget it.
Shiyun: "The king will not forget before the play!" "The gentleman is virtuous and kisses his relatives, and the villain is happy and profitable, and he will never forget it. Kang said: "Kemingde." Taijia said: "Gu 𬤊 Heaven's destiny." The emperor said: "Keming Junde." "It's all self-explanatory. The inscription of the soup plate says: "The day is new, the day is new, and the day is new." Kang He said: "Be a new people." The poem says: "Although Zhou is an old state, its life is only new." "That's why a gentleman does everything.
Poetry: "Banggi is thousands of miles, but the people stop." Shiyun: "The savage yellow bird stops at the corner of the hill." Zi said: "Yu Zhi, know what it stops, can people not be as good as birds?" ”
Shiyun: "King Mu Muwen, Yu Jixi respectfully!" "To be a gentleman is to be benevolent; To be a minister, stop at respect; As a son of man, he ends in filial piety; To be a father is to be kind; Friendship with the people of the country ends with faith.
The son said: "Listen to lawsuits, and I, the Jews, will also make no lawsuits!" "Those who are ruthless must not do their best to fear the will of the people. This is called Zhiben.
The so-called self-cultivation is in the right heart: if the body is angry, it will not be correct; If there is fear, there is no right; If you have fun, you can't do it; If there is a problem, it will not be corrected. Absent-minded, blind, hearing but not smelling, eating without knowing what it tastes like. This is called self-cultivation in the right heart.
The so-called Qi Qi's family is cultivating their bodies: people are dear and dispel, despised and evil, revered and refuted, mourned and refuted, and lazy and refuted. Therefore, those who know their evil and know their beauty and evil are rare in the world! Therefore, there is a proverb: "People do not know the evil of their sons, and they do not know the fruits of their seedlings." "This means that if you don't cultivate your body, you can't join your family.
The so-called ruler must first gather his family, and his family cannot be taught but can teach others, there is none. Therefore, the gentleman does not leave home and teaches the country: filial piety, so the king is also; The younger brother, so the chief is also; The merciful, so that the multitudes also. Kang He said: "If you protect the child", I sincerely ask for it, although it is not far away. Those who did not learn to raise children and then married. A family is benevolent, a country is benevolent; One family, one country; One man is greedy, and the other country is in turmoil. And so it is. This is said to be a matter of words, and one person determines the country. Yao Shun led the world to be benevolent, and the people followed; He led the world to violence, and the people obeyed. What they order is contrary to their preference, and the people do not obey it. Therefore, a gentleman has himself and then asks for others, and does not have himself and then does not seek others. What is hidden is unforgiving, but can speak to others, there is no such thing. Therefore, the rule of the country is in Qi Qi's family. Poetry: "The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming; The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. "It is suitable for his family, and then he can teach the countrymen. Shiyun: "Brother and brother." "It is better to be a brother and a brother, and then you can teach the countrymen. Shiyun: "Its etiquette is not bad, it is the four countries." "It is the foot law of father and son, and then the civil law. This is said to govern the country in Qi Qi's family.
The so-called peaceful world is governing the country: the old and the people are filial piety, the elders are long and the people are young, and the people are lonely and the people are not doubled, which is the way of a gentleman. What is evil is from above, and there is no need to make it down; What is evil is below, not what is done; The evil is in the first place, not in the first order; What is evil is in the after, not in the past; What is evil to the right is not to be handed over to the left; What is evil on the left, not on the right. This is called the way of the order. Shiyun: "Happy only gentlemen, parents of the people." "What is good for the people, and what is evil for the people, this is the parents of the people. Poetry: "Jiebi South Mountain, Weishi Rock Rock." He Shi Yin, the people have Erzhan. "Those who have a country can't be careless, and they will be the only ones in the world! Shiyun: "Yin Zhi has not lost his teacher, and he is worthy of God." The ceremonial supervisor is in Yin, and it is not easy to die. "If you win the people, you will win the country, and if you lose the people, you will lose the country. Therefore, the gentleman is cautious and virtuous. There are people who are virtuous, there are people who have soil, there is land and there is wealth, and there is wealth and usefulness. The virtuous are also the first, the rich are the end, the outer is the end, and the people are seized. Therefore, when wealth is gathered, the people are scattered, and when wealth is dispersed, the people gather. It is the one who goes against the word, and also goes against it; Those who enter in contradict the goods will also come out. Kang He said: "Life is not normal! "If you are good, you will gain it, and if you are not good, you will lose it. Chu Shu said: "The state of Chu has no treasure, but only goodness is treasure." The uncle said: "The dead are not treasured, but the benevolent relatives are treasured." Qin swore and said: "If there is a minister, who has no other skills, his heart is resting, and if he is tolerant." If a person has skills, if he has them; The sage of a man, his good heart, is as good as coming out of his mouth. It is still beneficial to be able to tolerate it, so as to protect my children and grandchildren! People have skills, and they are jealous of evil; It is impossible to disobey the saints of people. I can't tolerate it, so I can't protect my children and grandchildren, and I can't say it's a disaster! "Only benevolent people let go of it, burst into the four realms, and are not with China, which means that only benevolent people can love people and can evil people. Seeing the virtuous but not lifting, lifting but not first, life also; If you don't see good, you can't retreat, you can't go far, and you can't go far. What the good people do evil, and what the wicked do is what the wicked like, is the nature of the people, and they will arrest the husband. Therefore, a gentleman has a way, and he will be faithful to gain it, and he will be proud to lose it. There is a way to make money. Those who live are many, those who eat are few, those who are sick for it, and those who use it are comfortable, then the wealth is enough. The benevolent make a fortune, and the unkind make a fortune. There are no good benevolence and bad righteousness, there is no good righteousness and the matter does not end, and there is no treasury wealth that is not their wealth. Meng Xianzi said: "Animals and horses ride, not to the chickens and dolphins; The house of ice felling does not raise cattle and sheep; The home of a hundred times, the minister who does not gather animals. Rather than having ministers of aggregation, it is better to have thieves. This means that the state does not take profit for profit, but also for righteousness. Those who grow up the country and use money will be small. He is good, and the villain is the country, and he is harmful. Although there are good people, there is nothing like it! This means that the country does not take profit for profit, but also for righteousness.
