The Analects. Ji Shi Chapter 16: If there is a way under the heavens, then the people will not discuss it

The Ji clan will cut down the jaws, and Ran You and Ji Lu will be seen in Confucius, saying: "The Ji clan will have something to do with the Ji clan." Confucius said, "Please, is There no Nair over?" Fu Zhao, the former king of the past, thought that he was the lord of the east, and he was in the middle of the state, and he was a minister of the society. Why cut it? Ran Youyi said, "If the Master desires it, neither of my two subjects desires it." Confucius said: "Please, Zhou Ren has a saying: 'Chen Li is listed, and those who cannot stop are not stopped.' 'If you are in danger and do not hold on, and if you do not support it, you will use the other side? And Er said too much, the tiger out of the wood, the turtle jade destroyed in the tree, whose fault is it? Ran Youyue: "This husband is solid and close to the fee, and if he does not take it now, the future generations will worry about their descendants." Confucius said, "Please, a gentleman who desires what he wants will do." Qiu also heard that those who have a state-owned family do not suffer from widowhood but from inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but from uneasiness. Cover is not poor, and no widow, no tilt. If the husband is so, if the distant person disobeys, he will cultivate Wende since then, and if he comes, he will be safe. Now yu and Qiu Ya are the same master, the distant people do not obey and can not come, the state is divided and can not be kept, and plotted to fight in the state. I am afraid that ji sun's worries are not in the shadows, but also within the Xiao Wall. ”

The Ji clan is going to fight against the Emperor. Ran You and Zi Lu went to see Confucius and said, "The Ji clan is ready to attack Zhao. Confucius said, "Ran Qiu, isn't this your fault?" It was zhou tianzi who had asked him to preside over the sacrifices of Eastern Mongolia, and it was already within the territory of the State of Lu, and it was a vassal of the state, so why should it be crusaded against it? Ran You said, "Dr. Ji Sun wants to attack, but neither of us is willing." Confucius said: "Ran Qiu, Zhou Ren once said: 'Do your best to bear your duties, and if you really can't do a good job, you will resign.'" 'If there is danger and do not help, if you fall down and do not help, then what do you still use to assist? And what you said was wrong. Whose fault is it that tigers and rhinos run out of their cages, and that tortoiseshells and jade are destroyed in the box? Ran You said, "Now the walls of the city are strong and close to Feiyi." If we do not seize it now, it will surely become a worry for future generations. Confucius said, "Ran Qiu! Gentlemen hate those who don't say they want to do that but must find other excuses. I have heard that for the princes and doctors, they are not afraid of poverty but of uneven wealth; they are not afraid of small populations but of instability. Because there is no poverty in the balance of wealth, harmony and unity do not feel that the population is small, and there is no danger of overthrow of domestic stability. In this way, if the people in the distance are not yet obeyed, then cultivate the politics of benevolence, righteousness, and liturgy to attract them. When they come to obey, let them live in peace. Now, Zhongyu and Ran beg you to assist Jisun, and the people from afar do not submit but cannot attract them; the country is falling apart but cannot be preserved; instead, they are plotting to use force at home. I am afraid that Ji Sun's troubles are not in the palace, but in his own palace walls! ”

Confucius said: "If there is a way under the heavens, then the lile conquest comes from the son of heaven; if there is no way under the world, the lile conquest comes from the princes." From the princes, Gai X Xi does not lose; since the doctor comes out, the fifth Xi does not lose; the accompanying minister carries out the order of the country, and the third Xi does not lose. If there is a way under the heavens, then the government is not in the doctor; if there is a way under the world, the people do not discuss it. ”

Confucius said, "The world is clear, so the power to make liturgical music and order conquest comes from the Son of Heaven." The world is chaotic, so the power to make liturgical music and order conquests comes from the princes. It is decided by the princes as the masters, and after ten generations, there are very few who will not collapse, and there will be few who will not collapse after five generations; there are very few who will not collapse after three generations; there are very few who will not collapse after three generations. If there is a way in the world, the state power will not fall into the hands of the doctor. There is a way in the world, and the people will not discuss national politics. ”

Confucius said: "Lu Zhi went to the office of the fifth generation, the government arrested the fourth generation of the doctor, and the descendants of the three huans of the late husband Wei Yi." ”

Confucius said: "It has been five generations since the Lu royal family lost state power, and the power has fallen into the hands of the Doctor for four generations, so the three descendants of the Duke of Lu Huan have declined." ”

Confucius said: "The three friends of the beneficiary and the three friends of the loser." Friendly straight, friendly forgiveness, friendly smell, beneficial; friendly and soft, friendly and gentle, friendly and deficient, damage. ”

Confucius said, "There are three kinds of beneficial friends and three kinds of harmful friends." It is beneficial to make friends with upright people, with honest people, with well-informed people. It is harmful to make friends with people who walk crooked ways, with people who are flattering and flattering, and with people who talk rhetoric. ”

Confucius said: "The three pleasures of the gainer, the three pleasures of the loser." Happy Festivals, Goodness of The People, Good Friends, Benefits, Pleasures, Pleasures, Pleasures, Pleasures, Losses. ”

Confucius said, "There are three hobbies that benefit people, and there are three hobbies that harm people." Hobbies to act with etiquette as a moderation, hobbies to praise the merits of others, hobbies to make more virtuous friends, will benefit; hobbies are arrogant and arrogant, hobbies are idle and wandering, hobbies are addicted to alcohol and food, will be damaged. ”

Confucius said: "There are three kinds of regrets in serving a gentleman: to be impatient when it is not spoken, to be hidden when it is not said, and to be blind when it is not seen in color." ”

Confucius said, "When a servant speaks with a gentleman, he must pay attention to avoid committing three kinds of transgressions: it is impatience to say things when it is not his turn to say them; it is called concealment when it is his turn to say things; it is blind to open his mouth without observing the color of words." ”

Confucius said: "A gentleman has three precepts: when he is young, the flesh is undecided, and the precepts are in color; and his strength is strong, the flesh is strong, and the precepts are fighting; and his old age, the flesh and qi are decaying, and the precepts are gained." ”

Confucius said: "Gentlemen have three kinds of taboos: when they are young, their flesh and qi are uncertain, and they must abstain from female sex; when they reach their prime, they need to abstain from the mentality of being aggressive; when they are old, when their flesh and qi are weak, they must abstain from greed." ”

Confucius said: "A gentleman has three fears: fear of the Mandate of Heaven, fear of adults, and fear of the words of saints." The villain does not know the destiny of heaven and is not afraid, and he insults the words of the saints. ”

Confucius said, "A gentleman has three kinds of reverence: reverence for the Mandate of Heaven, reverence for the lord princes, and reverence for the words of the saints. The villain did not know that the Mandate of Heaven could not be disobeyed, so he did not fear it, despised the princes, and insulted the words of the saints. ”

Confucius said: "Those who are born to know are also superior, and those who learn and know are secondary; those who are sleepy and learn are secondary." Sleepy and not learning, Minsi for the next. ”

Confucius said: "What is born to know is superior; what is known only after study is inferior; those who learn only when they encounter confusion and difficulties are second-class; and those who still do not study when they encounter confusion and difficulties are inferior." ”

Confucius said: "A gentleman has nine thoughts: seeing Siming, listening to Si Cong, Se Siwen, Maung SiGong, Yan Si Zhong, Thinking respectfully, Doubting questions, thinking about difficulties, and seeing Si Yi." ”

Confucius said: "Gentlemen have nine kinds of thinking: when they look at it, they must think about whether they understand it, when they listen, they must think about whether they have heard clearly, when they treat people and things, they must think about whether their faces are gentle, whether their appearance is respectful, whether they are faithful when they speak, whether they are serious when doing things, whether they are serious when they have problems, they must think about inquiring when they are angry, they must think about possible consequences when they are angry, and when they see what they can get, they must think about whether they are righteous." ”

Confucius said: "Seeing goodness is like not reaching, seeing bad is like exploring soup; I see his people." I hear it. I live in seclusion for his will, and righteousness in order to attain his way; I have heard his words, but I have not seen his people. ”

Confucius said, "When you see a kind deed, you are worried that you will not be able to achieve it, and when you see an unkind action, it is like putting your hand in boiling water and quickly avoiding it." I've seen people like that, and I've heard things like that. To preserve one's ambition by living in seclusion and avoidance, and to carry out one's own ideas in accordance with righteousness. I've heard that, but I've never seen anyone like that. ”

On the day of death, the people were called Yan without virtue; Boyi and Shuqi were hungry under the first sun, and the people were called them today. What does it mean to be with? ”

Qi Jinggong had four thousand horses, and when he died, the people felt that he had no virtue to praise. Bo Yi and Shu Qi starved to death at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, and the people are still praising them. That's what it means.

Chen Kang asked Yu Boyu, "Does the son also have a strange smell?" Right: "Not yet." Taste independence, carp tend to pass through the court, said: 'Learn the poetry?' Right: "Not yet." ''If you don't study poetry, you can't say anything.'' 'Carp retreated to the poems. He was independent and independent, and the carp rushed through the court, saying: 'Learn the "Rites"? Right: "Not yet." ''If you don't study the Rites, you can't stand. 'The carp retreated to learn the Ritual. Wens both. Chen Kang retreated and rejoiced: "Ask one to get three, smell the "poems", smell the "rites", and smell the gentleman's far away son." ”

Chen Kang asked Bo Yu, "Did you get a different teaching from the teacher?" Bo Yu replied, "No." The teacher once stood there alone and said to me, 'Have you studied the poems?' Kong Carp replied, 'No.' He said: If you don't study poetry, you won't be able to speak. I went back and studied poetry. Another day, he was standing alone again, and I walked briskly through the court and he said, 'Have you studied the Ritual?' I replied, 'No. He said, 'If you don't learn etiquette, you don't know how to stand up.' I'll go back and learn the ritual. I've heard both of these things. Chen Kang went back and said happily: "I asked a question, and I gained three things, and I listened to the truth about the poem, listened to the truth about etiquette, and listened to the truth that a gentleman does not favor his son." ”
