People survive and act in politics
Mourning asked the government. Zi Yue: "The government of literature and martial arts is in the square strategy." If a person exists, his government will act; if his person dies, his government will rest.
Lu Aigong asked Confucius for advice on state politics. Confucius said: "The politics of King Wen and King Wu are perfect, and the strategies of national governance are recorded in the classics." With such wise men in the world, these politics can be carried out; in the absence of such wise men, these politics are abolished.


Ancient Chinese politics was the way of self-righteousness, and the ancient sages turned the law of heaven into the moderation of the human order. The Zhou Dynasty has absorbed the ritual music system of the Xia Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty since ancient times, and by the time of King Wen and King Wu, it has formed a ritual system with "Yi", "Poetry", "Ritual" and "Music", including astronomy, humanities, laws, rules and regulations, codes of conduct, and the ritual music civilization of honoring Shangshi, which has been praised by posterity as "Depressed Wen zhao".
Fang Policy. "Fang, version also; policy, simple also." Wood is known as the square, bamboo is known as the strategy, the policy is large and the square is small. The "Rites of Rites and Dowries" says: "Bundles of books will be ordered, and more than a hundred books will be in the strategy, and less than a hundred books will be in the party." "In the time of Confucius, people died and the government died, but in the square version and the bamboo Jane, the way of government of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu was retained. Among them, such as the "Baoxun", "Zhou Shu Preface", and "Yi Zhou Shu" have recorded many strategies for governing the world that have been handed down from ancient times. For example, "Wen Dan", "Wen Chuan", "Rou Wu", "Da Kai Wu", "Xiao Kai Wu", "Bao Dian", "Feng Mou", "Huan Yi", "Da Ju", "Wu Dan", "No Power", etc., these are the "Wen Wu Fang Strategy" handed down by the Zhou Dynasty.
Confucius believed that "to serve the government lies in winning people." Politics is not only the moderation of the law of heaven into the human order, but also the way of enlightenment of oneself and righteousness. Since ancient times, all people can promote the Tao, not the Tao. No matter how good the strategy is, it needs to be carried out by the moderate sages, to correct themselves, to push themselves and others. There is no virtue in non-moderation, and there is nothing that can be achieved without moderation. Ancient and modern times, it has all been done because of people. Because of people's waste. In ancient times, Dayu De was equipped with the sun and the moon, and the merits covered the heavens and the earth. To control the flood, to fix the Summer calendar, "gradually nine rivers, to determine the nine states", to enlighten its virtues, and to establish the great Xia Dynasty. After Qi's death, taikang was desolate and political, hunting in the fields, and extravagant in pleasure, and even lost the country. A sage of the Zhou Dynasty, Wenzhi martial arts brilliantly, Zhou Gongfu political etiquette teaching Kyushu, Fang has the Zhou Dynasty's prosperous "Chengkang Rule", but when it came to King Li of Zhou, he favored villains, blocked the way of speech, monopolized the mountains, forests, rivers, and rivers, and fought for the interests of the people, and finally led to a rebellion by the people of Zhou, and King Li fled and died in Yandi. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Dinggong appointed Confucius as the local governor of Zhongdu, "Confucius Chushi, for Zhongdu Zai." The system is a festival of health and death, the elder and the young are eating, the strong and weak are different, the men and women are different, the road is not left behind, and the instrument is not carved. It is a four-inch coffin, a five-inch coffin, because the hills are graves, and they are not sealed or trees. A year of practice, and the princes of the West." Confucius served as the Grand Sikou of the State of Lu, Xing Li Le, Ping Litigation Prison, Or Three Huans, The People of the Religion for Good, Honoring the King Shang Li, Jia Gu Hui Meng, Dress Qi, lu Guo Dazhi. Later, after Confucius left the state of Lu, the state of Lu fell into the Ji family, and the state of Lu gradually declined. These are all examples of "people survive in politics, and people die in politics"! "Therefore, it is said that good deeds are not enough for government. The dharma cannot be done on its own."
A political party, a team, a country, no matter how strict the system design, no matter how perfect the policy is formulated, and how strict the legal provisions are, in the final analysis, it needs to be implemented on people. Only man can propagate the Tao, not that the Tao can propagate it. In fact, it is the manifestation of the way of moderation, and only the virtuous gentlemen of the virtue of moderation can cultivate the virtue of life in heaven and earth. Impartial, just right, can always be in tune with the time, dual use, power to change the middle. Only wise men with the virtue of moderation can manifest a good and benevolent government in the world.
