Those who want to be obviously superior to the world in ancient times should rule their country first, and those who want to rule their country should rule their home first; 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; To be sincere, you must know first, and you must know the style. 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 based on self-cultivation. If the end of the treatment is messed up, it won't work. Thick is thin, thin is thick, and there is nothing. This is called knowing it, and this is called knowing it.
The so-called sincere person is not deceiving himself. If it stinks, if it's lewd, it's called modesty. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious and independent. Little people are not good at fooling around and do everything they can. When he meets a gentleman, he will resent it, fight for his incompetence and concentrate on his kindness. It is impossible for a man to treat himself as a liver and lung. This is called sincerity in the middle and tangible outside. Therefore, 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. As the poem says, "If you support yourself in Australia, you will find yourself in green bamboo, and you will find yourself in Fiji. If you are incisive, if you are grinding, if you are sad, if you are noisy, you will find yourself in Fiji. " As eager as you are, Taoism is also; If you are as sharp as a mill, you will learn from yourself; Those who feel sorry for others are embarrassed; He Xi Xi Xi, Wei Yi also; If you have a gentleman, you can't be embarrassed. Morality is the best, and the people can't forget it. A poem says, "Yu Xi! The former king did not forget. " A gentleman is virtuous, close to his relatives, and a villain is happy and profitable, so that he will not forget the world. Chen Kang said, "Ke Mingde." Dajia said, "Ancient times are destiny." Emperor Dian said, "Mingde is also." It goes without saying. The dish of soup said, "New is new, new is new." Chen Kang said, "Be a new citizen." A poem says, "Although Zhou was an old country, his life changed." Therefore, a gentleman does his best. As the poem says, "the country is thousands of miles away, and only the people can stop it." As the poem says, "The yellow bird stops at the corner of the mountain." Confucius said, "When you stop, you know what you have stopped. Can people be worse than birds? " There is a poem that says, "King Mumuwen stops at Ji Xi." Stop at benevolence for the monarch, stop at respect for the minister, stop at filial piety for the son, stop at kindness for the father, and stop at faith in making friends with the Chinese people. Confucius said, "If I hear a lawsuit, I am still a human being, and I will make it litigious!" Ruthless people can't do it, and they are afraid of people's ambitions. This is called knowing it.
The so-called self-cultivation lies in mindfulness, and it is wrong to be angry, afraid, happy and worried. Absent-minded, blind, listening but not smelling, eating without knowing its taste, this is called cultivating one's morality with the right heart.
There are few people in the world who are in physical repair, loved, looked down upon, feared, worried and lazy. Therefore, there is a saying: "Man is the evil of his son, and he doesn't know the size of his young son." This means that if you don't repair your body, you can't be at home.
The so-called rule of the country must be in line with its family, its family can not be taught, and there is no one who can teach. 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; Kindness, so make public also. Chen Kang said, "If you protect your son." Sincerely ask for it, although it is not in the middle, it is not far away. 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, and one country is chaotic. This means that a word is urgent and one person rules the country. Yao and Shun lead the world with benevolence, and the people follow it; Jie fights violence with violence, and everyone follows it. What it ordered was contrary to what it wanted, but the people did not obey 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. As the poem says: "If a peach wants to die, its Ye Zhenzhen, its son's return, its home is suitable." Appropriate family members can then teach China people. A poem says, "My brother should be my brother." You should be brothers and younger brothers, and then you can teach the people. As the poem says, "there are four kingdoms." 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 their country by leveling the world are old and filial, long and lonely, and the people are different, so courtesy is the way of a gentleman. If you are evil, don't let it fall; What is evil is the next, not matter; 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. This is called the way to slap the moment. As the poem says, "the pleasure of a gentleman is the parents of the people." What the people do well and what the people hate are called the parents of the people. As the poem says, "Nanshan is a festival, rocks are rocks, and the people have a long-term vision." Those who have a country should not be careless and slaughter for the world. As the poem says: "It is not easy for Yin to lose his teacher, to be innocent of God, and to be disciplined by 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. Where there is virtue, there must be people. Where there is soil, there is wealth, and wealth is useful. Virtue is the foundation and wealth is the goal. The external cause is the internal cause, and the people strive for it. Therefore, if you gather wealth, the people will disperse, and if you gather 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. Chen Kang said, "Obedience is not constant." If it is good, you will get it, if it is not good, you will lose it. Chu Shu said, "Chu has no treasure, but good is treasure." My uncle said, "The dead are not treasures, but the benevolent relatives are treasures." Qin vowed: "If a minister has no other skills, forgive him. 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 are jealous of their skills, but their talents are unreasonable. I really can't stand it, it can't protect my children and grandchildren, it's very dangerous! " Benevolent people untied themselves and burst into the four barbarians, not with China. This means that only the benevolent can love and be wicked. If you don't do it when you see a sage, you will die if you don't do it first. You can't retreat if you see something bad, you can't retreat quickly, and you can't go too 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 them are sick, so wealth continues. 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 ride, not chickens and dolphins;" The home of ice cutting, not cattle and sheep; A hundred times the home, not a minister of livestock. 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 good, the villain's ambassador is the country, and the disaster comes from his mouth. 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.
