The so-called rule of the world, old and filial, long and sad, lonely and different, is a gentleman's way for a moment.
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. It is not easy to die if you look at it in yin. " 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 and annotation translation
The team said that if we want to pacify the world, we must govern the country well, because the superior people respect the elderly, the ordinary people will be filial to their parents, the superior people respect their elders, and the 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 practice the "good manners" of setting an example and pushing others.
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 the so-called "instant way".
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 support, and only when there is support can land be protected, and only when there is land can there be wealth, and only when there is wealth can there be supply and use.
Virtue is the foundation and wealth is 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 the sage has a clear love and hate, and can't select talents, and they can't be reused if they are selected. This is contempt: it is wrong to find the wicked without recalling them, and to recall them without expelling them far 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 things 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.
