Xunzi Daily Lesson 352丨 Express yourself, do not be a racetrack for other people's thoughts

One lesson a day to read the classics, this is the Erya Book Garden. Today we begin the study of the 352nd lecture of the Xunzi Daily Lesson on the "Correct Name Chapter". Welcome to leave a message to communicate.

The festival of resignation is complete, and the length and the small are straightened out; the taboo is not called, and the resignation is not out. Speak with a benevolent heart, listen with a learned heart, and discern with a public heart. It is not the honor of the people, the eyes and ears of the observer, the power of the noble, and the words of the detrimental preacher. Therefore, being able to deal with the way without being second, aggressive without taking, profitable and not flowing, noble and just, and despicable and contemptuous, is also the discernment of a gentleman. Poetry: The long night is long, the eternal thought is fierce, the great ancient is not slow, the etiquette is not ashamed, and the words of the compassionate people are shy! This is also true. (Xunzi Zhengming, Chapter 22, 11)

The festival of resignation is complete, and the length and the small are straightened out; the taboo is not called, and the resignation is not out. Speak with a benevolent heart, listen with a learned heart, and discern with a public heart.

The etiquette of humility has been done, and the ethics of the elderly and the young have been properly spoken; taboo words are not said, strange talk is not exported; reasoning is explained with a benevolent heart, opinions are heard with a learning heart, and right and wrong are debated with a fair heart. Rhetoric, weirdness. Oh, the same demon.

It is not the honor of the people, the eyes and ears of the observer, the power of the noble, and the words of the detrimental preacher.

Do not be swayed by the criticism and praise of the people, do not use beautiful words to please others, do not give away money to buy the power of the noble, do not like to spread the words of gossip.

Therefore, being able to deal with the way without being second, aggressive without taking, profitable and not flowing, noble and just, and despicable and contemptuous, is also the discernment of a gentleman.

Therefore, such a person can adhere to the right path without being half-hearted, have the courage to express opinions without being forced to change their views, be eloquent without moderation and nonsense, advocate justice and despise vulgar and pointless arguments. This is the argument of the gentleman.

Poetry: The long night is long, the eternal thought is fierce, the great ancient is not slow, the etiquette is not ashamed, and the words of the compassionate people are shy! This is also true.

The Book of Verses says: The long night is boundless, and I often think about my shortcomings. I don't slack off on ancient principles, I don't make mistakes in etiquette, so why worry about others gossiping? That's what it says. Qiān, guilt, fault, fault.

Insist on expressing yourself, even if you are wrong. Life has experience, but also has lessons. A life without lessons will never grow up.
