Xunzi daily class 339 丨 empty talk about theory, high is not low is not enough

One lesson a day to read the classics, this is the Erya Book Garden. Today we begin the study of the 339th lecture of the Xunzi Daily Lesson on the "Unmasking Chapter". Welcome to leave a message to communicate.

Therefore, if there is knowledge of non-worry, it is called fear; if there is courage and not to hold on, it is called a thief; if there is no distinction between what is, it is said to be usurped; if there is multi-power, it is called knowledge; if it is not to be said to be, it is said to be a curse. It is said that there are two things in the world: non-inspection is, and it is inspection of non-inspection. It is said that the royal system is not in line with the royal system. There are people in the world who do not think that it is long and righteous, but there are still those who can distinguish between right and wrong? If the husband does not distinguish between right and wrong, does not rule the right and the straight, does not distinguish and cure chaos, and does not rule humanity, although it can be done, it will not benefit people, and it will not harm people. The case will cure the strange said, play strange words, to scratch slippery also. The case is strong and sharp-tongued, cheeky and forbearing, unscrupulous and arbitrary, vain and profitable; not good resignation, no respect for etiquette, and good pushing and shoving: the words of adulterers in this chaotic world are also the world's. The ruler, Fang Duoran. Transmission: Analyze words and perceive, words and things are discerned, and gentlemen are despicable. Knowledgeable and strong-minded, not in line with the royal system, a gentleman is a lowly man. This is also true. (Xunzi, 21, 16)

Therefore, if there is knowledge of non-worry, it is called fear; if there is courage and not to hold on, it is called a thief; if there is no distinction between what is, it is said to be usurped; if there is multi-power, it is called knowledge; if it is not to be said to be, it is said to be a curse.

Therefore, having wisdom but not being used to think about the way of the Holy King is called cowardice; having courage but not being used to maintain the way of the Holy King is called a thief; observing thoroughly but not analyzing the way of the Holy King is called usurpation; having talent but not being used to study the way of the Great Saint King is called cunning; being able to speak the Tao but not being used to publicize the way of the Holy King is called nonsense.

It is said that there are two things in the world: non-inspection is, and it is inspection of non-inspection. It is said that the royal system is not in line with the royal system. There are people in the world who do not think that it is long and righteous, but there are still those who can distinguish between right and wrong?

The ancient books say: There are two aspects to looking at things in the world: one is to find the right from the wrong, and the other is to find the wrong from the right. The so-called right and wrong refers to whether or not it conforms to the law of the Holy King. If the world does not take the Law of the Holy King as the highest standard, is there anything that can distinguish between right and wrong?

If the husband does not distinguish between right and wrong, does not rule the right and the straight, does not distinguish and cure chaos, and does not rule humanity, although it can be done, it will not benefit people, and it will not harm people. The case will cure the strange said, play strange words, to scratch slippery also. The case is strong and sharp-tongued, cheeky and forbearing, unjust and arbitrary, vain and profitable; not good resignation, no respect for etiquette, and good pushing and shoving: The words of the adulterers in this chaotic world are also the rulers of the world.

If there is no distinction between right and wrong, no merit, no distinction between chaos and chaos, and no standardization of social morality, even if it is proficient, it will not benefit people, and even if it cannot be mastered, there will be no harm to people. This is nothing more than delving into strange theories and playing with strange words and phrases to disturb each other; it is nothing more than strong words, brazenness, wanton debauchery without observing the right path, arbitrarily sophistry and mercenary, not understanding humility, not respecting etiquette, but liking to exclude each other, these are all the words of treacherous people in a chaotic world. Most of the people who do learning in the world are like this.

These people scolded by Xun Zi are of great practical significance.

Transmission: Analyze words and perceive, words and things are discerned, and gentlemen are despicable. Knowledgeable and strong-minded, not in line with the royal system, a gentleman is a lowly man. This is also true.

The ancient books say: Playing with words but thinking that they are discerning, talking about concepts but thinking that they are good at discernment, gentlemen despise such people. He was knowledgeable and had a strong memory, but he did not conform to the Holy King's Dharma, and the gentleman despised such a person. That's what it says.

The eyes are high and low, empty talk about theory, high is not low.
