Source: History of the Analects of Confucius

Selected paragraph:

Begging, gentleman's disease, is a word that must be done if you want to do it. Qiu also heard that people with state-owned families do not suffer from inequality, poverty and anxiety. There is no poverty, no poverty and no peace.

Translation:

Ran Qiu! Gentlemen hate those who don't say they want to do that, but they must find another excuse. I heard that for princes and doctors, they are not afraid of poverty, but they are afraid of inequality; Not afraid of small population is afraid of instability. Because wealth is balanced, there will be no poverty, harmony and unity will not make people feel small, and domestic stability will not be in danger of overturning.

Extended data:

Confucius and his disciples discussed Ji's attack. He not only directly exposed You Ran's sophistry, but also put forward three important principles that should be followed in governing the country, namely "no poverty, no widowhood and no inclination". Only when the rulers achieve these three points can the country maintain long-term stability and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

In order to refute, this paper launches in the form of dialogue, breaks through the middle and uses historical materials; In reality, it is in the "national territory" and "the minister of the country"; The famous saying, "Zhou people have words." The three arguments are solid and reliable, and the refutation is well-founded.
