Mourn for the public and ask for politics. Zi Ri said, "The policy of civil and military affairs lies in planning. If people exist, it will be a political move; When a person dies, his political interest is gone. Humanism is sensitive to politics and tunnels are sensitive to trees. Husband is also a politician, and so is Prue. Therefore, the government is in the people, take the people as an example, cultivate one's morality by virtue, and take benevolence as the foundation. Benevolent people are also human beings. Kissing is great; Righteousness words. Respect for the virtuous is the biggest. Kissing kills people, respecting good people, and so on. , courtesy is born. The next place can't be obtained, the people can't get it, and they can't rule! Therefore, a gentleman cannot cultivate himself; Thinking about self-cultivation, you can't ignore your loved ones; You can't know people if you think about things, and you can't know the sky if you think about people. There are five ways in the world, so there are three people who do it. Day: monarch and minister, father and son, husband and wife, brother Kun, and friends are the best in the world. Knowledge, benevolence and courage are the virtues of the world, so those who do it are also. Or born to know, or learn to know, or trapped to know, and one of them knows. Or do it safely, profitably, or reluctantly, and its success is one. " Zi Ri: "Learn to be close to knowledge, be close to benevolence, and be ashamed to be brave. Knowing the three, you will know how to cultivate yourself; If you know how to cultivate yourself, you will know how to treat people; If you know how to govern the people, you will know how to govern the country.

There are nine classics in all countries in the world, saying: cultivate one's morality. Respect sages, kiss sages, respect ministers, respect ministers. Children and ordinary people also come to work hard, gentle and distant, pregnant with a prince.

Loyalty and loyalty, so I advise scholars; When thin convergence, so advise people also; The monthly exam in Japan is not only a matter of concern, but also a matter of persuasion. Send to meet, Jiashan and cherish can't, so soft people are far away; Follow the peerless, abolish the country, and control the chaos. When the court hired him, he accumulated a lot of money, so he was also pregnant with princes.

Lu Aigong

All countries in the world have nine classics, so those who do it are also. Everything is prepared, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted. Don't give up before saying, don't be sleepy before doing, don't be sorry before doing, and don't be poor before doing. The next place can't be obtained, the people can't get it, and they can't rule.

Confucius

Lu Aigong asked Confucius how to manage political affairs well. Confucius said, "King Wen and his decrees are all written on wooden slips. If there are wise ministers like them, the decrees will be carried out, but without them, the decrees will disappear. When people are in power, politics will soon be clear, which is like planting trees in fertile soil, and trees will grow quickly. This politics is like Pu Wei. Therefore, the governance of political affairs depends on virtuous officials, the acquisition of virtuous officials depends on the cultivation of Xiu De by a wise monarch, the cultivation of virtue depends on following the way of the world, and following the way of the world depends on kindness. The so-called benevolent people, relatives are benevolent. The so-called righteousness is appropriate, and respecting virtuous ministers is righteousness. The distinction between intimacy and intimacy, and the distinction between respecting the virtuous and valuing the ministers, all come from the ritual system. People with lower status can't get the trust of their superiors, and the people can't govern well.

Zhou Wuwang

Therefore, a gentleman must cultivate himself, cultivate a gender in Xiu De, serve his relatives, serve them, know how to make good use of them, and know how to make good use of them. There are five ways in the world and three virtues in practice. The relationship between monarch and minister, father and son, husband and wife, brother and friend is the avenue on earth. Wisdom, kindness and courage are the greatest virtues in the world. The principle of the practice avenue is the same. Some people are naturally familiar with the avenue, some people are familiar with the avenue through learning, and some people are familiar with the avenue after experiencing confusion; They finally know the avenue, which is the same. Some people are relaxed, some are interested, and some are reluctant. Finally, success is the same. Confucius also said: "Love to learn is close to wisdom, strive to practice is close to benevolence and righteousness, and shame is close to heroism. Knowing these three points, you will know how to cultivate yourself; If you know how to Xiu De, you will know how to govern people, how to govern people and how to govern the country. There are nine ways to govern the country, namely, Xiu De, respecting the virtuous, loving relatives, respecting ministers, loving all the ministers, loving the people like children, and accepting talents.

Zhou Wenwang

Dear relatives, fathers, brothers and younger brothers will not complain. Respect the minister and you won't be in a trance.

Abstinence, dressing appropriately and not doing rude things are the ways to cultivate self-cultivation; Abandoning rumors, staying away from beauty, ignoring property and attaching importance to virtue are the ways to inspire sages; Respect the status of relatives, reward them with salary, and share love and hate with relatives. This is the way to love relatives as much as possible and set up more officials for the appointment of ministers. This is the way to encourage ministers, treat them with loyalty and loyalty, and above all, pay. This is a way to encourage scholars. Serving according to the season, the tax is meager, which is a way to encourage the people, to visit them every day, to assess them every month, and to give them food commensurate with their work, which is a way to encourage craftsmen; Warm greetings, warm send-offs, reward talented people and sympathize with those who have no talent. This is a way to give preferential treatment to remote aliens. Inheriting the interrupted family lineage, rejuvenating the declining country, rectifying the chaos, saving the crisis, appearing before the court regularly, giving generous gifts and paying modest tribute are the methods to appease the princes.

Wang talks with the minister.

Although there are these nine principles of governing the country, the reasons for their implementation are the same. Everything will succeed if it is premeditated, and it will fail if it is not premeditated. If you think ahead, you won't be speechless, and if you think ahead, you won't feel difficult. Think twice before you act, and you won't feel uneasy. Think twice before you act, and you won't be in a desperate situation. People in the lower ranks can't get the trust of their superiors, and the people can't govern well. There is a way to win the trust of your superiors. You can't win the trust of your superiors without the trust of your friends. There is a way to win the trust of friends, but you can't win the trust of friends if you don't obey your parents. There is a way to honor parents, and it is impossible to honor parents without sincerity. There are ways to be sincere, and it is impossible to be sincere without knowing the good. Honesty is the supreme law. Honesty is the law of mankind. Honesty can be gained without effort, can be gained without thinking, and can reach heaven with ease. This is a saint. To tell the truth is to choose well and stick to it. We should study extensively, ask questions seriously, think carefully, distinguish clearly and practice faithfully. Either don't learn, or don't stop learning. Either don't ask or don't stop if you don't understand. Either you don't think or you don't understand. Either you don't distinguish, and you won't stop until you distinguish clearly. Either you don't implement it, you implement it, and you won't stop if you are not loyal enough. If others can do it once, I will spend a hundred times, and if others can do it ten times, I will spend a thousand times. If you can really do this, you will become smart even if you are stupid, and you will become strong even if you are weak. "
