Taigong replied: "The quantity of the instrument covers the world, and then it can tolerate the world; sincerity covers the world, then it can restrain the world; benevolence covers the world, and then it can cherish the world; grace covers the world, and then it can maintain the world; the power covers the world, and then it can not lose the world; when things are decisive and unhesitating, just like the operation of the celestial bodies, it cannot be changed, and it is unchangeable like the change of the four hours; these six conditions are met, and then the world can be governed." Therefore, whoever seeks the interests of the people of the world, the people of the world will welcome him; if the people of the world are harmed, the people of the world will oppose him; if the people of the world are killed, the people of the world will hate his cruelty; if he obeys the wishes of the people of the world, the people of the world will obey him; if the people of the world are impoverished, the people of the world will hate him; if the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, the people of the world will rely on him; and if he brings danger to the people of the world, the people of the world will regard him as a disaster star. The world is not the world of one person, and only a person with high morals can occupy this position of monarch who governs the world. ”

【Original】

King Wen asked TaiGong: How can it be the world? Tai Gong Yue: Cover the world, and then be able to accommodate the world. Faith covers the world, and then it can make covenants to the world. Ren covers the world, and then can cherish the world. En covers the world, and then can protect the world. Power covers the world, and then can not lose the world. If there is no doubt, then the fate of heaven cannot be moved, and the events cannot be moved. These six are prepared, and then they can be used for the world's government. Therefore, those who benefit the world will be enlightened by the world; those who harm the world, the world will be closed. He who is born of the world is virtuous under the world; he who kills the world is a thief in the world. He who penetrates the whole world knows the whole world; those who are poor under the world, the world hates them. Those who are safe in the world, the world is in danger, and those who endanger the world are disasters in the world. He who is under heaven is not the world of one man, but the one who is the Tao is in it.
