The Biography of Feng Dao in the History of the Five Dynasties says: Courtesy, Justice and Shame are the four dimensions of the country, and if the four dimensions are not opened, the country will perish. Ok, Guan Sheng can talk! Etiquette and righteousness, the law of governing people; Shame, the festival of establishing people; Cheap, don't cover, take everything, don't feel ashamed, do everything. If people do this, they will lose everything and do everything they can; If you are a minister and do your best, there will be no chaos in the world and there will be no survivors in the country. However, among the four, shame is particularly important.

So the master commentator said, "It is shameful to do anything." Mencius said, "One should not be shameless. Shameless, shameless. " He also said, "The shame of the National People's Congress is of no use to those who have skillfully changed their opportunities." Therefore, people are not cheap, and as for violating etiquette and committing righteousness, they are shameless. Therefore, the shamelessness of scholar-officials is a national shame.

In my opinion, after three generations, the world will decline, and it will not happen overnight to abandon the ceremony and donate shame. However, pines and cypresses are carved in the cold of a year, and chickens crow in the wind and rain. On the day of his coma, no one woke up alone. Reading Yan Jiaxun, there is a cloud: "There was a scholar in the Qi Dynasty who once said,' I have a son who is seventeen years old and quite learned. I taught him Xianbei language, played the pipa, and wanted to know a little to serve my officials and ministers, all of whom were loved. "

I don't answer when I lie prone. This man is really a godson! This industry, if it is clear, is not what Cao wants! "ah! It is still the remark that troubled times are forced to be an official, and it still has the meaning of Xiaowan poet. Those who are charming in the world are not guilty!

The translation of shame is as follows:

"The History of the Five Dynasties, Biography of Feng Dao" commented: "Courtesy and integrity are the four disciplines of the country; If these four disciplines cannot be continued, the country will perish. " Well said! Guan Zhong is so eloquent! Etiquette is an important criterion for governing the country and the people; Honesty and shame are important moral norms for cultivating people. Because there is nothing you don't want if you are dishonest, and nothing you dare to do if you are shameless. If people are like this, then disaster, decay, chaos and extinction will come.

What's more, as a minister, if there is nothing that is not greedy and dare not do, there is no reason why the world will not be chaotic and the country will not die. But in these four disciplines, knowing shame is the most important, so Confucius said when talking about scholars' truth: "Be ashamed of yourself."

Mencius said, "People should not be shameless. If you can regard shame as the most shameful thing, you can stay away from shame all your life. " He added: "Shame is very important to people. People who are speculative and resourceful have nothing to be ashamed of. " The reason for saying this is that if a person is dishonest, it will violate etiquette and damage morality, because he has no sense of shame. Therefore, as a scholar-bureaucrat, if there is no sense of shame, it can be said that it is a shame for the country.

I have observed that since the third generation, society and morality have declined day by day, courtesy and righteousness have been abandoned, and shame has been put aside. This is not a one-time event. But in the cold winter, there are pines and cypresses that don't wither, and in the stormy weather, there are crows with early warning. In those dark days, there are really people with unique knowledge awake!

Recently, I read a passage in Yan Jiaxun: "A scholar-bureaucrat in the Qi Dynasty once said to me,' I have a son, who is seventeen years old, who can write some documents and books, teach him to speak Xianbei dialect and learn to play the pipa, so that he can know a little and use these skills to serve officials and adults, and he is loved everywhere. "

I looked down and didn't answer. It is strange that this man should educate his son in this way! If you can make yourself beautiful through these skills, I don't want you to do so. "ah! Yan Zhitui had no choice but to go into troubled times, but he could still say such a thing. And Xiaowan's poet spirit. Can those who flatter the secular be ashamed?
