Problem description:

Persuasion comes first.

Title: Xunzi Author: Xun Qing

Mr. Wang said: I can't learn. Green is taken from blue, and green is blue; Ice and water are cooler than water. Wood is straight in the rope and is considered as a wheel. Although it is violent, it is natural to let it stand still. Therefore, the wood is straight by the rope, the gold is sharp, the gentleman is knowledgeable, and he saves himself every day, so he knows clearly without fault. So, if you don't climb the mountain, you don't know the height of the sky. Don't face the deep stream, I don't know the thickness of the ground; I didn't know the greatness of learning until I heard the last words of my late king. The sons of Gan, Yue, Yi and Xun were born in unison, long and different, and naturally educated. The poem says, "Dear Sir, there is no constant rest. Honesty is good when you lose your position. Listen to God and you will be blessed. " God is greater than Tao, and joy is greater than harmlessness. Think all day long, it is better to learn it in a moment; I've tasted it and I'm looking forward to it. Let's go hiking. Climb a trick, the arm does not lengthen, but the person you see is far away; Call with the wind, the sound does not add disease, but the listener is obvious. Those who cheat horses are not good enough, but cause thousands of miles; ..... Learning classics is not as fast as being a man, and the second is courtesy. If you can't be a good person in the world, you can't be a good person in the world. Ante will learn miscellaneous knowledge, follow "Poetry" and "Book", and then be poor at the end of his life. He must be a vulgar Confucian. The original king, benevolence and righteousness, then courtesy is in its latitude and longitude. If you pat your collar with five fingers, there will be countless followers. Disrespect for the constitution, taking poetry books as an example, metaphor refers to measuring rivers, taking millet and taking conical rice cookers, so we can't get them. Therefore, although Longli is unknown, he is also a lawyer; If you don't give a long gift, you will scatter Confucianism, although you will argue. Don't sue if you ask, don't ask if you sue, don't listen to what you say, and don't argue if you win.

So follow its path, then walk, and avoid it if it is not its path. Therefore, courtesy can follow words and deeds, words can follow words and deeds, and color can follow words and deeds. Therefore, you can't be proud of what you said ... A gentleman knows his husband incompletely and is not pithy, so he thinks beauty is also beautiful. Therefore, he persistently recited a few words, thought it through, treated others well, and fostered those who did harm to them, so that his eyes did not want to see, his ears did not want to hear, his mouth did not want to say, and his heart did not want it. When you are good at time, your eyes are good with five colors, your ears are good with five tones, your mouth is good with five flavors, and your heart benefits the world. Therefore, rights cannot be dumped, the masses cannot be moved, and the world cannot be shaken. Life depends on reason, death depends on reason, and husband is called virtue. Moral exercise can then be decided, decided and answered, decided and answered. My husband is called an adult. The sky sees its light and the earth sees its light, and the gentleman values all this.

Analysis:

The gentleman said: learning can't stop. Indigo is extracted from bluegrass and bluer than bluegrass. Ice is solidified by water, which is cooler than water. The wood is straight and conforms to the chalk line. If it is bent into a wheel, the curvature of wood meets the standard of roundness. No matter how dry it is, it won't be straight, because it has been processed like this. Therefore, wood can be straightened after being measured with ink lines, and metal products such as swords can be sharpened after being ground on a millstone. A gentleman reads widely and checks himself every day, then he will be wise and wise, and his behavior will not be wrong. Therefore, if you don't climb the mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; I don't know how thick the ground is without facing the deep stream; If you don't understand the legacy of the emperor, you won't know the breadth of knowledge. Dry people, Vietnamese, foreigners and raccoons cry the same when they are born, but their customs are different when they grow up, which is created by education. The poem says, "Gentlemen, don't always think about comfort. Take your work seriously and love the virtue of integrity. The gods will give you great happiness when they hear all this. " In terms of spiritual cultivation, there is nothing greater than being edified by the Tao, and there is nothing more lasting than happiness without disaster. I used to think about it all day, but I didn't learn much in an instant. I once stood on tiptoe and looked far away, but it was better to climb high and look far. Climb high and wave, the arm is not longer than before, but others can see it in the distance; Call with the wind, the voice is not as loud as before, but the listener can hear clearly. People with chariots and horses can walk Wan Li Road if they don't walk fast, and people with boats can swim across the river without swimming. The essence of a gentleman is no different from ordinary people, but he is good at using foreign things. Earth and stone pile up into mountains, and the wind and rain start from here; Water flows into the abyss, and dragons are born from it; Accumulate good deeds and cultivate noble character, then you will reach a high degree of wisdom and you will have the spiritual realm of a saint. Therefore, without the accumulation of half a step, there is no way to reach thousands of miles away; Without the accumulation of tiny flowing water, there is no way to merge into the rivers and seas. The horse jumped less than ten paces; A bad horse can walk for ten days, and its success lies in its constant walking. If it stops after a while, the rotten wood will continue to be carved. Stick to carving and the stone will be carved successfully. Earthworms have no sharp claws and teeth and strong bones and muscles, but they can eat dirt and drink spring water because they are single-minded. A crab has eight feet and two big claws. If there were no caves for snakes and crickets, it would have nowhere to live. This is because of impetuousness. Therefore, without the will to study hard, there will be no significant academic achievements; Without hard work, there will be no great achievements in career. Neither side will tolerate a man who can't get to his destination on the wrong road and serves two monarchs at the same time. The eyes cannot see two things at the same time and see clearly, and the ears cannot hear two sounds at the same time and hear clearly. A poisonous snake can fly without feet, and a mouse has five skills, but there is still no way. The poem says: "Cuckoo nests in mulberry trees, and its young birds have seven. A good gentleman should be single-minded and impartial. Only when you are single-minded and not biased, your will will be rock solid. " Therefore, a gentleman is determined and single-minded.
