It shows that people are born good, but because of the different learning environment in the process of growing up, there are differences in temperament.
It reveals that everyone is born the same, but if we don't get a good education from childhood, our kind nature will degenerate. Therefore, people should study hard from an early age and distinguish between good and evil in order to become useful talents to society.
To annotate ...
People: generally refers to all people.
Chu: Newborn, when you were born.
Sex: temperament, nature.
Ben: As it turns out, there isn't.
Close: not far apart.
Xi: acquired habits.
Far: the difference is too far. "Sex is similar, learning is far away" is what Confucius said.
During the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Zhou Chu. He is a kind-hearted man, but because he lost his parents when he was a child, Zhou Chu's temperament became very cruel and his behavior was very barbaric, and no one taught him. Zhou Chu likes to bully the weak and often kills others because he is unhappy. So people in the village always stay away when they see him.
A fierce tiger appeared in the village these days, and a terrible dragon appeared in the big lake at the foot of the mountain, which often invaded the crops in the village and even swallowed the farmers alive. Everyone felt very scared, and even called the tiger, dragon and Zhou Chu "three evils", saying that the villagers would never be at peace unless the "three evils" were removed.
At the beginning of the week, he heard about the "three evils" in the village. His aggressive character made him go up the mountain immediately and killed the tiger with one punch. Then he went to the lake to catch the dragon and chased it for three days and nights before destroying it. When the villagers on the shore saw Zhou Chu never surfaced, they thought that he and Xiaolong were mutually assured destruction, so everyone celebrated the removal of the "three evils" on the shore. After returning to the village at the beginning of the week, he realized that he was the third evil and made up his mind to turn over a new leaf and stop being annoying.
