The Analects. Wei Ling Gong Chapter 15: Gentlemen are poor, and villains are poor and indiscriminate

Wei Linggong asked Chen Yu Confucius, and Confucius said to him, "The matter of tricking beans is tasted; the matter of military service is not learned." "Tomorrow."

Wei Linggong asked Confucius about the method of arranging troops. Confucius replied, "I have heard of ritual sacrifices; I have never learned about fighting with soldiers." "The next day he left Weiguo.

In Chen starvation, the slave is sick and unable to xing. Zi Lu saw it: "Gentlemen are also poor? Zi Yue: "Gentlemen are poor, and villains are poor and indiscriminate." ”

Confucius cut off food in Chen Guo, and the people who followed him were hungry and sick, and they could not get up when they lay down. Zilu came to see Confucius angrily and said, "Do gentlemen also have times when they are embarrassed and have no way?" Confucius said, "A gentleman can still stick to the right path when he is embarrassed, and when a villain is embarrassed, he will do something wrong." ”

Zi Yue: "Give it to you, and the woman who knows more about it is a person who has learned a lot?" Right: "Of course, non-and- "Non-also, give consistently." ”

Confucius said, "O gift! Do you think I'm someone who learns a lot and can remember everything? Zigong replied, "Yeah, isn't that the case?" Confucius said, "No. I'm using a basic thing to keep them through. ”

Zi Yue: "By, those who know virtue are rare." ”

Confucius said, "By! Too few people understand morality. ”

Zi Yue: "The one who does nothing to rule qi shun is also with!" What is a husband? Just south of Gongji. ”

Confucius said, "The only person who can rule the world without doing anything is probably Shun, right?" What did he do? He simply sat solemnly and upright on the throne of the imperial court. ”

Zi Zhang asked for action, and Zi Yue said: "Faithful in words, respectful in deeds, although the state of barbarism is acting; words are not faithful, deeds are not faithful, although the state is doing what is done?" Standing sees its participation in the front; in public opinion, it sees that it depends on the balance, and the husband then acts. "Zi Zhang Shu gentlemen."

Zi Zhang asked how he could make it work everywhere. Confucius said: "Faithfulness in speech and respectful behavior can work even in barbaric areas." Unfaithful in speech and respectful in behavior, even in the local area, can it work? When standing, it is as if you see the words 'faithful, honest, dignified, respectful' standing upright in front of you; when you are in the car, it is as if you see these words leaning on the horizontal wood in front of the car, so that it can work everywhere. Zi Zhang wrote these words on the large belt around his waist.

Zi Yue: "Naoya Shiyu! The state has a way like a arrow, and the state has no way like a arrow. Gentleman! The state has a way, and the state has no way to roll it up. ”

Confucius said, "Shi Yu is really upright!" The country's politics are clear, and his words and deeds are as straight as arrows; the country's politics is dark, and his words and deeds are as straight as arrows. Yu Boyu is really a gentleman! If the state has a way, it will come out as an official, and if the state has no way (dismiss from an official position), it will collect its own ideas in its heart.

Zi Yue: "You can speak with words but not with them, and you lose people; you cannot talk with words and words with words, and you cannot speak with words." He who knows does not lose his word. ”

Confucius said, "To be able to talk to him but not to talk is to miss a talent; to be unable to talk to him but to talk to him is to say the wrong thing." Wise people neither lose friends nor say the wrong thing. ”

Zi Yue: "Zhi Shi Ren ren ren has no survival to harm Ren, but has to kill himself to become Ren." ”

Confucius said, "A man of great stature will never do anything that harms benevolence and righteousness for the sake of his own life, but would rather sacrifice his life to fulfill his benevolence." ”

Zi Gong asked for benevolence, and Zi Said: "If a worker desires to do a good job, he must first use his weapon." Ju is a state, a sage who is a doctor, and a benevolent person who is a friend. ”

Zigong asked how to practice benevolence. Confucius said, "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools." To live in this country is to serve the sages among the doctors and to make friends with the benevolent among the scholars. ”

Yan Yuan asked for the state, and zi said: "When you are in the summer, take the Yin Zhiruo, serve the crown of Zhou, and the music is "Shao" and "Dance"; let Zheng Sheng, far away from the people. Zheng Sheng was obscene, and the people were destroyed. ”

Yan Yuan asked how to govern the country. Confucius said: "Implement the calendar of the Xia Dynasty, ride in the car of the Yin Dynasty, wear the top hat of the Zhou Dynasty, and use the "Shao" and "Dance" for music, abandoning Zheng Guo's music and staying away from flattering people." Zheng Guo's music is obscene, and the flattering people are dangerous. ”

Zi Yue: "Man has no far-sighted worries, but will have near-term worries." ”

Confucius said, "If people do not have long-term considerations, they will certainly have immediate troubles." ”

Zi Yue: "It's over!" I have not seen good virtue like a lustful person also. ”

Confucius said, "That's it! I've never met anyone who loves virtue as much as beauty. ”

Zi Yue: "Zang Wenzhong and his stealers and!" Kei no Ken Yukiyo Yuki and not Tachibana. ”

Confucius said, "Zang Wenzhong was a man who stole official positions!" He knew that Yanagishita was talented, but he did not recommend him to join him as an official. ”

Zi Yue: "Bowing to oneself and being weak in blame for others is far from resentful." ”

Confucius said: "People should be able to reflect on themselves, blame themselves more and blame others less, then they can avoid the resentment of others." ”

Zi Yue: "Those who do not know 'what is as it is, what is as it is', and what I am like at the end of the day is already gone." ”

Confucius said, "Whoever doesn't say 'what to do, what to do', I don't know what to do with him." ”

Zi Yue: "Living in groups all day long, words are not righteous, good deeds xiaohui, it is difficult!" ”

Confucius said: "It is really difficult to teach people who get together all day and talk about morality at all, and who are good at showing off their cleverness." ”

Zi Yue: "A gentleman's righteousness is a hostage, etiquette is done, Sun is out, and faith is accomplished." Gentleman! ”

Confucius said: "A gentleman takes righteousness as the foundation, promotes it with etiquette, expresses it in humble language, and fulfills it with an attitude of integrity. ”

Zi Yue: "A gentleman is incompetent, and the patient does not know himself." ”

Confucius said, "A gentleman worries that he has no talent, and he does not worry that others do not know him." ”

Zi Yue: "A gentleman is sick and has no name." ”

Confucius said, "What a gentleman fears is that he will not be praised by everyone when he dies." ”

Zi Yue: "The gentleman asks for himself, and the villain asks for everyone." ”

Confucius said, "What a gentleman demands is himself, and what a villain demands is someone else." “

Zi Yue: "Gentlemen are reserved but not contentious, and the crowd is not the party." ”

Confucius said: "A gentleman is solemn and does not argue with others, and he is a group without forming a party for personal gain." ”

Zi Yue: "A gentleman does not raise people by words, nor does he use people to talk nonsense." ”

Confucius said, "A gentleman does not recommend a man because he speaks well, nor does he not adopt a man's correct opinion because his virtue is not good." ”

Zigong asked, "Whoever has a word that can be practiced for life?" Zi Yue: "Forgiveness! Do not do to others what you do not want. ”

Zigong asked Confucius, "Is there a word that can be practiced for life?" Confucius replied, "That is forgiveness!" If you don't want to, don't impose it on others. ”

Zi Yue: "I am also to people, who destroys whose reputation?" If there is a reputation, it has been tried. Si Min also, the reason why the three generations are straight and go also. ”

Confucius said, "Who have I slandered against others?" Who was praised? If there is any praise, there must be something to look at him. With such a people, Xia, Shang, and the Three Dynasties were able to walk straight. ”

Zi Yue: "I am still with the history of Que Wenye, those who have horses borrow people to take advantage of it, and now they are dead!" ”

Confucius said, "I can still see the doubts and gaps in the history books." People who have horses themselves will not be trained to lend to others to ride first, and now there is no such thing. ”

Zi Yue: "Clever words are chaotic, and small things are intolerable, then chaos and big plots." ”

Confucius said, "Rhetoric corrupts morality, and if you are impatient with small things, you will disturb the big strategy." ”

The Son said, "All evils will be observed, and all good will be observed." ”

Confucius said: "Everyone hates him, do not believe him easily, and judge it yourself; everyone likes him, and we must investigate him ourselves." ”

Zi Yue: "People can spread the Tao, but they are not Taoists." ”

Confucius said, "Man can constantly perfect the Tao, but the Tao cannot perfect man." ”

Zi Yue: "Passing without changing is saying that it is too much." ”

Confucius said, "If you have a mistake and do not correct it, this is the real fault." ”

Zi Yue: "I have tasted all day without eating, all night without sleeping, thinking, it is useless, it is better to learn." ”

Confucius said, "I used to not eat all day, not sleep all night, to think about problems, and the result was no good, it was better to study." ”

Zi Yue: "A gentleman does not seek food." Cultivation is also in it, and learning is also in it. A gentleman is not worried about poverty. ”

Confucius said, "A gentleman seeks the Tao and not food and clothing." In farming, there is often hunger; learning, often getting lulu. Gentlemen worry about whether they can learn the Tao, not about poverty. ”

The Son said: "Knowing and knowing, benevolence cannot keep it, although it is gained, it will be lost; knowing it, benevolence can keep it, and if it is not solemn, then the people are disrespectful; knowing it, benevolence can keep it, zhuang is obedient, moving is not polite, and it is not good." ”

Confucius said, "We can get it by wisdom, but benevolence cannot hold on to it, and even if we get it, we will certainly lose it." If you get it by ingenuity, and benevolence can hold on to it, but if you don't exercise your power with a dignified attitude, then the people will not be afraid. To obtain it by ingenuity, to maintain it with benevolence, to exercise authority with a solemn attitude, but not to mobilize according to liturgy, and it is also imperfect. ”

Zi Yue: "A gentleman cannot be small and can be greatly affected, and a villain cannot be greatly affected but can be small." ”

Confucius said, "Gentlemen cannot let them do those small things, but they can make them take on great missions." Villains can't get them to take on big missions, but they can make them do those little things. ”

Zi Yue: "The people are more benevolent than water and fire." Water and fire, I see the dead, and I have not seen the dead. ”

Confucius said, "The common people's need for benevolence exceeds their need for water and fire." I have only seen people jump into the water and fire and die, but I have never seen people die of benevolence. ”

Zi Yue: "Don't give in to the teacher." ”

Confucius said, "Shouldering the heavy responsibility of realizing the path of benevolence is not inferior even compared to the teacher." ”

Zi Yue: "A gentleman is chaste and does not forgive." ”

Confucius said, "A gentleman sticks to the right path and does not stick to small faith." ”

Zi Yue: "The king, respect his deeds and then eat them." ”

Confucius said: "To do things for the monarch, we must do things seriously and put our own food, clothing, shelter and transportation behind us." ”

Zi Yue: "There are no classes in teaching." ”

Confucius said, "Everyone can be educated, regardless of ethnicity." ”

Zi Yue: "The Tao is different, and it is not a conspiracy." ”

Confucius said, "People with different aspirations cannot plan together." ”

Zi Yue: "That's all." ”

Confucius said, "Words only need to express the meaning clearly." ”

Shi Mian saw, and the order, the son said: "The order also." And the seat, the son said: "Xi also." They all sat down, and the Son told him, "So-and-so is in Si, so-and-so is in Si." "The master is crowned out. Zi Zhang asked, "The way of talking to the master?" Zi Yue: "Of course, the way of the Solid Phase Master is also." ”

The musician came to see Confucius and walked to the edge of the steps, and Confucius said, "Here are the steps." Walking to the seat, Confucius said, "This is the seat." When everyone sat down, Confucius told him: "So-and-so is here, so-and-so is here." After Shi Mian left, Zi Zhang asked Confucius, "Is this the way to talk to the musician?" Confucius said, "This is the way to help musicians." ”
