Title: "University" Author: Unknown (according to legend, he is a disciple of Confucius and once took part in the work), the road of the university is to be well-known, close to the people and stop at perfection. Confucius' picture, Zhi Zhi, calm, calm and quiet, quiet and safe, safe and safe, safe and safe. Things start and end, and things end. If you know the order, you will find a shortcut. If the ancient desire is obviously superior to the world, rule the country first; If you want to govern your country, you should first get your family together; If you want to reunite with your family, you should first repair your body; If you want to cultivate yourself, you should be upright first; If you want to be correct, be sincere first; If you want to be sincere, let him know first. Know what to know and change things. Everyone knows everything, everyone knows it and is sincere, sincere and upright, upright and upright, well-trained and well-groomed, well-groomed and well-governed, well-groomed and well-governed. From Tian Zi to Shu Ren, one is to cultivate one's morality. If it goes wrong in the end, it can't be cured. Thick is thin, thin is thick, and there is nothing. This is called knowing it, and this is called knowing it. Those who preach the so-called sincerity do not deceive themselves. If it stinks, if it's lewd, it's called modesty. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious and independent. Villains are not good at fooling around and can do anything. When you meet a gentleman, he will be disgusted, cover up his bad and focus on his good. It is no good for a person to see himself if he sees his lungs and liver. This is called sincerity in the middle and tangible outside, and a gentleman must be cautious and independent. Zeng Zi said, "What you see with ten eyes and what you point to with ten hands is strict!" Rich, virtuous, broad-minded and obese, so a gentleman must be sincere. "Poetry" said: "Look at him and he will be happy. It is really awkward to have a Fijian gentleman, such as cutting, cutting and grinding. If you have a Fijian gentleman, don't be embarrassed! "Those who are" incisive "are also Taoists. Those who "sharpen their knives and don't miss the woodcutter" practice self-study. People who are "sad" are also embarrassed. People who are "noisy" also have dignity. " A gentleman, don't make noise. "Virtue is the best, and people can't forget it." The poem said: "In the play, the former king did not forget! "A gentleman is virtuous, and a villain is happy, so that he will not forget the world." "Gao Kang said," Ke Mingde. " "Dajia" said: "Gu is a destiny." The emperor's canon says, "Be honest and clean. "This is self-evident. Pan Ming of Tang Zhi said, "If you are new, you will be new, and you will be new." Gao Kang said, "Be a new citizen. "Poetry" said: "Although Zhou was an old country, his life changed. "So, gentlemen do their best." The poem says: "The country is thousands of miles away, but the people stop." The poem says, "A wild yellow bird stops at the corner of the mountain. Confucius said, "When you stop, you know what you stop. Can people be worse than birds? " The poem says, "King Mumuwen, stop at Ji Xi! "A gentleman stops at benevolence; Being a minister ends with respect; Being a son stops at filial piety; Being a father stops at kindness; Making friends with China people ends with letters. Confucius said, "When I heard the lawsuit, I was still alone. It won't cause a lawsuit! "A heartless person must not try his best. I am afraid of what the people want, and this is called knowing this. " The so-called self-cultivation lies in mindfulness. It is wrong to be angry. If you are afraid, you are not right. It's wrong to have fun. If you are worried, you are wrong. Absent-minded, blind, deaf, eat without knowing its taste. This is called cultivating one's mind. The so-called people who are loved, despised, respected, pitied and lazy by others in the process of physical training. Therefore, it is difficult to know that good is evil, and knowing evil is beautiful. Therefore, there is a saying: "People don't know the evil of children, and people don't know the size of seedlings." This means that you can't be at home without repairing your body. The so-called rule of the country must be family-oriented, and there is no truth that the family can not teach others. Therefore, a gentleman does not become a monk and becomes a Buddhist. Filial piety, so things are also jun; Brother, so the matter is long; Yeah, that's why Gong Ye. "Gao Kang" said, "If you protect your son." Sincerely ask for it, although it is not far. So are those who haven't learned to adopt children before getting married. A benevolent government, a benevolent government; A letter, a goodsky letter; One person is greedy, one country is chaotic: this is the opportunity. This is a word, one person decides the country. Yao Heshun is handsome, benevolent people are the world, and the people follow it. Jie He leads the world to violence, while people follow it. What it does is the opposite of what it wants, but the people don't follow it. Therefore, if a gentleman has himself, he will ask others, and if he does not have himself, he will not be others. Hidden things are unforgivable, but they can be used to describe people, but nothing is left. So the rule of the country lies in its own home. "Poetry" says: "Peach flies away, but its Ye Zhenzhen. The son of Yu Gui is suitable for his family. " Suitable for their families, and then you can teach people. Poetry says, "Brothers should be brothers." You should be brothers and younger brothers, and then you can teach the people. "Poetry" said: "It's just four countries." Father-son law, then civil law. This means that the rule of a country lies in its own home. The so-called people who rule the country by leveling the world are old in the world and filial to the people, long in the world and young in the people, and sympathetic to the people, which is the way for a gentleman to have a good attitude. Evil is above, not below, evil is below, not above; Evil is ahead, not behind; What is the evil of the future, not the evil of the past; Right evil, not left; If you are left evil, don't give it to right evil; It's called tact. "Poetry" says: "Only the gentleman is happy, but the parents of the people are also happy." What the people do well and what the people hate are called the parents of the people. "Poetry" says: "Nanyue is hard to see, but rocks are hard to see. Hehe, Teacher Yin, the people have a vision. " If you have a country, you must not be careless, and you must be the world. "Poetry" says: "Yin has a clear conscience without losing his teacher. Watching Yin is not easy to die. " If you talk too much, you will get the country, and if you lose the people, you will lose the country. Therefore, a gentleman must first be cautious. There are virtues, people, soil, soil, money and money. Virtue is the foundation and wealth is the goal. Outside, fighting for the people. Therefore, if you gather wealth, the people will disperse, and if you scatter wealth, the people will gather. People who say the wrong thing come out and go in; Goods that go in illegally will also go out illegally. Gao Kang said: "Only life is not constant." If it is good, you will get it, if it is not good, you will lose it. The Book of Chu said: "Chu has no treasure, but is good at it." My uncle said, "The dead are not treasures, but the benevolent relatives are treasures." "Qin Shi" said: "If I have no other skills, my heart will rest. People have skills, if any; People are saints, and their hearts are good, just like their mouths. Tolerance is also beneficial, so as to protect my children and people! People have the ability to hate evil; People are sacred, but they do the opposite: protecting my children and grandchildren is really intolerable and dangerous! " Only the benevolent let nature take its course and burst into four barbarians, not with China. This means that only the benevolent can love and be wicked. Seeing the sages and not lifting them, lifting them without first, life is also; If you see something bad, you can't back down. If you back down, you can't go far. What a good man hates and what a bad man likes is his arrogance, and disaster will catch his husband. Therefore, a gentleman has a way, and he gains it with loyalty and loses it with arrogance. There are avenues to make money, many people are born, few people eat, and those who use it are sick, so wealth is enough. Kind people get rich by money, and unkind people get rich by their own bodies. It is also bad for people without kindness to go on, people without kindness are not finished, and people without treasury wealth are not their wealth. Meng Xianzi said, "Cattle and horses don't smell chickens and dolphins, the house of ice cutter doesn't smell cattle and sheep, and the house of hundred riders doesn't smell livestock ministers." It is better to have a thief than a minister. "That is to say, the country does not benefit from benefits, but also benefits from righteousness. To serve the country, those who spend money must be small. He is kind, the messenger of the villain is the country, and disaster arrival. Although there are good people, none of them are good! This means that the country does not benefit from profit, but also benefits from righteousness.

Translation of The University

The purpose of the university is to carry forward the aboveboard moral character, make people innovate and reach the most perfect state. Only by knowing what you should achieve can you be firm; With determination, you can be calm and calm; Only when you are calm can you feel at ease; Only when you feel at ease can you think of glory; Only by thinking about glory can we gain something. Everything has roots and branches, and everything has a beginning and an end. Knowing this truth from beginning to end is close to the law of development of things. In ancient times, if you want to carry forward the aboveboard character in the world, you must first manage your own country; To govern the country well, we must first govern the family and clan; If you want to manage your family and family well, you must first cultivate your own character; If you want to cultivate your character, you must first correct your mentality; If you want to correct your heart, you must first make your heart sincere; If you want to make your ideas sincere, you must first acquire knowledge; The way to acquire knowledge is to know and study everything. Knowledge can only be acquired through the understanding and research of everything; Only after acquiring knowledge can the mind be sincere; Sincere heart, square heart; With a correct mind, we can cultivate our own character; Only through the cultivation of character can we run a good family and family; Only when the family and clan are well managed can the country be well managed; Only when the country is well governed can the world be peaceful. From the head of state to the common people, everyone should be self-cultivation-oriented. If this is fundamentally disturbed, it is impossible for families, families, countries and the world to be well governed. You can't put the cart before the horse, and you want to do a good job regardless of priorities! This is called grasping the root, and this is called the apex of knowledge. Making your heart sincere means not deceiving yourself. Just as you hate rancid smells, you should love beautiful women, and everything comes from the heart. Therefore, people with high moral character must be cautious even when they are alone. People with low moral character do evil in private, but when they see people with high moral character, they hide their evil deeds and brag about them. As we all know, others see themselves as clearly as you see your heart, lungs and liver. What's the use of covering it up? This is called inner truth, and it will definitely show up externally. Therefore, people with high moral character must be cautious even when they are alone. Ceng Zi said, "Isn't it scary to watch with ten eyes and point with ten fingers?" ? ! "Wealth can decorate houses, but morality can cultivate body and mind and make Shu Tai people open-minded and healthy. Therefore, people with high moral character must make their ideas sincere. The Book of Songs says: "Look at the curved bank of the water, with lush green bamboo. There are gentle gentlemen who study the knowledge of processing bone implements and learn from each other constantly; Self-cultivation is like polishing beautiful jade and pondering it over and over again. He is solemn, cheerful and handsome. Such a gentle gentleman is really unforgettable! "The term' like a tool for processing bones, constantly learning from each other' refers to the attitude of learning here; Here, "polishing beautiful jade, pondering repeatedly" refers to the spirit of self-cultivation; To say that he is "solemn and cheerful" means that he is cautious and timid; To say that he is "handsome" means that he is dignified; Say, "Such a gentle gentleman is unforgettable!" "It shows that his moral character is very noble and has reached the most perfect state, so it is unforgettable. The Book of Songs says, "Ah, the kings of the previous generation are really unforgettable!" This is because the monarchs and nobles can follow the example of the previous kings and respect the sages to be close to their loved ones, while the ordinary people are also favored, enjoy happiness and gain benefits. Therefore, although the former kings have all passed away, people will never forget them. "Gao Kang" said: "It can carry forward the bright character." "Tai Jia" said: "I don't forget the nature of this light." Yao Dian said: "It can carry forward lofty morality." These are all to promote their aboveboard character. The motto of King Shang Tang carved on the bathtub is: "If you can update it every day, you should keep updating it every day." Kang's Patent said: "Encourage people to discard the old and adopt the new. The Book of Songs said: "Although the Zhou Dynasty was an ancient country, it was endowed with a new destiny. "So, people with high moral character have nowhere to pursue perfection. The Book of Songs says: "The capital and its surroundings are places that people yearn for. The Book of Songs also said: "The yellow bird is called Mianman and lives on the mountain. Confucius said, "Even a yellow bird knows where it should live." Can a person be inferior to a bird? The Book of Songs says: "A king of letters with high moral character is always aboveboard, solemn and cautious. "To be a monarch, be kind; To be a courtier, be respectful; Children should be filial; Father should be kind; When dealing with people, you should keep your word. Confucius said: "I, like others, listen to lawsuits in order to try cases and prevent them from happening again." "Call to seize the root, let people who hide the real situation dare not say sweet words, which makes people fear. It is said that to cultivate self-cultivation, we must first correct our mentality, because anger can't correct our mentality; With fear, it is impossible to be right; With preference, it is impossible to be correct; You can't be right if you have concerns. A bad heart is like a heart that is not on you: although you are looking, you don't seem to see it; Although listening, I don't seem to hear it; Although I am eating, I don't know what it tastes like. Therefore, to cultivate self-cultivation, we must first correct our mentality. The reason why we should cultivate ourselves before running a family and family is because people have a preference for their loved ones; There will be partial hatred for people you hate; Be biased against those who are afraid of themselves; Will be biased against those who sympathize with themselves; You will be prejudiced against people you despise. So few people can love a person and see his shortcomings, and hate a person to see his advantages. So there is a proverb: "No one knows the bad of his children, and no one is satisfied with the good of his crops. "This is the reason why you can't manage your family and family without self-cultivation. The reason why we should first manage our own family and clan is that there is no one who can manage others without managing their own family. Therefore, educated people are educated in governing the country at home: filial piety can be used to serve the monarch; Respecting the elderly can be used as an official; Good for children can be used to rule the people. Kang Hao said: "It's like taking care of a baby. "Sincere pursuit, even if you can't reach the goal, it won't be too far away. You know, people who learn to raise children before they get married! A family is kind, and a country will be kind; A United country will unite; When a person is greedy and violent, a country will be in chaos. Its connection is so close, as the saying goes: a word will be bad, and one person will rule the country. Yao and Shun ruled the world with benevolence, and the people obeyed it. Jie fights violence with violence, and the people follow it. The ruler's order is contrary to his own actual practice, and the common people will not obey it. Therefore, sages always do it first. Then ask others to do it; Don't do it yourself first and then ask others not to do it. It is impossible not to let others do whatever they want without this forgiveness. Therefore, to govern the country, we must first manage our own family and family. The Book of Songs says: "Peach blossoms are delicious and have dense leaves. The girl got married and brought the whole family together. " Let the whole family live in harmony, and then the people of a country can live in harmony. The Book of Songs says, "Brothers live in harmony." Brothers live in harmony, and then people in a country can live in harmony. The Book of Songs said: "The appearance and behavior are solemn and serious, which is an example for the four countries." Only when a person is worthy of being imitated as a father, son, brother or younger brother will people imitate him. This is the truth that governing the country must first govern the family and govern the family. The reason why we should govern the country well is that high-level people respect the elderly and ordinary people will be filial to their parents. Senior people respect their elders, and ordinary people will respect their brothers. People in the upper class sympathize with orphans, and ordinary people will follow suit. Therefore, people with high moral character always set an example and push others to "be flexible." If you hate a certain behavior of your boss, don't treat your subordinates with this behavior; If you hate a certain behavior of subordinates, don't treat your boss with this behavior; If you hate a certain behavior of the person in front, don't treat the person behind with this behavior; If you hate a certain behavior of the person behind, don't treat the person in front with this behavior; If you hate some behavior of the person on your right, don't treat the person on your left with this behavior; If you hate some behavior of the person on your left, don't treat the person on your right with this behavior. This is called "the way of tilting". The Book of Songs says: "The monarch and the minister are the parents of Shu Ren." He likes what people like, and he hates what people hate. Such a monarch can be said to be the parents of the people. The Book of Songs says: "The towering Nanshan stands tall. Master Daxian, the people are looking up to you. " People who rule the country must be cautious. A little bias will be overthrown by everyone. The Book of Songs said: "When Yin didn't lose the hearts of the people, it was still reasonable. Please take the Yin Dynasty as a warning. It is not easy to keep the destiny. " In other words, if you win the hearts of the people, you will get the country, and if you lose the hearts of the people, you will lose the country. Therefore, people with high moral character pay attention to cultivation first. Only when there is virtue can someone raise it, and only when there is support can the land be protected. Only when there is land can there be wealth, and only when there is wealth can there be supply and utilization. Virtue is the foundation, and wealth is the end of the branch. If the inheritance is regarded as an external thing and the end of the branch is regarded as an internal inheritance, it will compete with the people for profit. Therefore, when kings gather wealth and goods, people's hearts will be separated; When the king distributes his wealth to the people, the people will gather together. It's like if you speak irrationally, people will answer you with unreasonable words; The source of wealth and goods is unknown, and one day it will be lost inexplicably. Kang Hao said: "Destiny will not be consistent." In other words, if you do good deeds, you will get your destiny, but if you don't do good deeds, you will lose your destiny. The Book of Chu said: "Nothing in Chu is a treasure, but goodness is a treasure." My uncle said, "Exiled people have nothing but kindness." "Qin Shi" said: "If there is a loyal and honest minister, although he has no special skills, he is broad-minded and tolerant, and others have skills, such as himself; He is convinced that others have both ability and political integrity, not only verbally, but sincerely. Using such people can protect my children and people and benefit them! On the contrary, if others have technology, they will be jealous and disgusted; Others have both ability and political integrity, but he tries his best to suppress and crowd out, and he can't tolerate it anyway. Using this kind of person can not only protect my descendants and people, but also be very dangerous! " Therefore, people with benevolence will exile such intolerant people to the land of four barbarians and prevent them from living in China. This shows that sages have a clear love and hate, and they cannot select talents, and they cannot be reused after selection. This is contempt: it is wrong to find evil people without driving them away. It's against human nature to like things that everyone hates and dislike things that everyone likes. Disaster is bound to befall you. Therefore, for the monarch, there is a right path: loyalty, then everything; If you indulge in luxury, you will lose everything. There is also a correct way to make money; More people produce, less people consume; Those who produce are diligent, while those who consume are thrifty. In this way, wealth will always be sufficient. Caring people help others to cultivate their own virtue, and unkind people do not hesitate to make money at the expense of their lives. People who are not in the upper position like benevolence and righteousness, while people in the lower position don't like loyalty and righteousness; People who don't love loyalty but give up halfway; There is no property in the treasury that does not belong to the monarch. Meng Xianzi said: "With four carriages, there is no need to raise chickens and pigs; Sacrifice ice to doctor Qing's house, so don't raise cattle and sheep again; Don't adopt a vassal who plundered the wealth of the people from the vassal's house with a hundred chariots. It is better to have a retainer who steals than to have a retainer who plunders people's wealth. "That is to say, a country should not take wealth as its interest, but should take benevolence and righteousness as its interest. As a monarch, he still devotes himself to collecting money, which must be induced by villains. The monarch thinks that these villains are good people and let them handle state affairs. So, natural disasters and man-made disasters came together. Although there are talents at this time, there is no way to save them. Therefore, a country should not take wealth and goods as its interests, but should take benevolence and righteousness as its interests.
