Notes on the Four Precepts of the Mortals (4)

The effect of humility[1] virtue

"Yi" said: "The heavenly way is profitable and humble, the authentic road becomes profitable and humble, the ghost god is rich and blessed, and the humane evil is rich and humble [2] (ying, proud and full also." Arrogance, so overturned. Humble, vain also. Blessed are the void. Change, change also. Flow, moisturize also. Evil, not cozy also. Well, rejoice also). "It is the reason why "Qian" is one of the gua, and the six are auspicious ("Yi" is more cautious and vigilant. The whole scripture is three hundred and eighty-four, and the words are embellished with images, and the words are many fears. But in the inner gua two, the outer gua five, more praise, in order to get the middle way. However, the "Qian" Gua Liu Yao Duoji language, the way of dealing with the world is heavy and humble, can be seen here. The love of holiness and goodness through the world can also be seen).

The Book says: "Full of losses, humble benefits [3]. "To the many princes who have taken the examination, every time they see the cold soldiers, there will be a period of humility [4] (the more the humble person's heart is, the more radiant it is) (the two hands are taken together, described as full of intentions).

Xin Wei (1571) Ji Kai [5], I Jiashan and all ten people, but Ding Jing Yubin [6], the youngest, extremely modest. Yu told Fei Jinpo: "This brother will be the first (Dengke) this year." Fei Yue: "Why do you see it?" "Blessed are humble." Brother look at the ten people, there are Gong Gong (faithful) money (Park Hou), do not dare to be the first, such as the respect for the Yu Hu? Is there reverence and obedience (all obedience), caution and humility, such as reverence? Are there insults that do not answer, that they do not argue with slander, such as those who respect yu? If man can do this, that is, the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and will bless them, how can there be those who do not send out? "And the opening list, Ding Guo Chinese.

Ding Ugly (1577) was in Beijing, with Feng Kaizhi [7], and saw his humble appearance, which greatly changed his childhood habits. Li Jiyan directly forgave Yiyou [8] and attacked him from time to time, but when he saw that he was peaceful and obedient, he did not have a word of recompense. He said, "Blessings begin with blessings, and misfortunes precede misfortunes." If this heart is humble, the heavens will be the same. Brother decided this year. "Sure enough.

Zhao Yufeng Guangyuan [9], a native of GuanXian County, Shandong, was raised in the township in his childhood and did not live for a long time. His father was Jiashan Sanyin, who followed him. Mu Qian Mingwu [10], and the text saw it, Mingwu wiped the text, Zhao was not angry, and was convinced and quickly changed. Next year, it will be the first.

In 1592, he entered the imperial court (entering the capital to meet the emperor), and saw that his popularity was humble, and he was humble and forced, and he returned to his friend: "All the heavens will send people to the people, and they will not send their blessings, but they will first send their wisdom." As soon as this wisdom is issued, the floater is self-real, and the wanton one is self-contained. If the building is gentle, the apocalypse is complete. "And open the list, the fruit of the Chinese style (pass the exam, the township test Chinese style for the lifter).

Jiangyin Zhang Weiyan, Jixue Gong (good at) literature, there is an audio art forest (literary and art circles or places where classic books are collected). Jia Wu (1594), Nanjing Township Test, Yu Yi Temple, revealed the nameless, scolded the examiner, thinking that squinting (blinding). Sometimes there is a person who is smiling, and Zhang Yun (Sui) moves the anger of the Daoist. The Taoist said, "The documents of the Xiang Dynasty will not be good." Zhang Nu said, "Ru doesn't see my text, Wu Zhi is not good?" The Taoist said: "Wen Wen Gui's heart is peaceful, and now he listens to the public scolding, uneven, Wen An has worked?" Zhang unconsciously gave in, and asked for advice because of it. The Taoist said, "The middle is all fatal." Fate should not be in the middle, although the text is worked, it is useless. You have to make a transformation yourself. Zhang Yue: "Since it is fate, how to change it?" The Taoist said, "The Creator of Destiny is Heaven, and the One Who Establishes Destiny is me." Do good deeds, accumulate yin virtue, why should you not ask for it? Zhang Yue: "I am a poor man, how can I do it?" The Taoist said, "Good deeds and yin gong are all created by the heart." Always have this heart, and the merit is immeasurable. And if the modest section does not cost money, how can you not scold the official instead? Zhang thus folded his knots and maintained himself, and the good day was repaired, and the german day was thickened. Ding You (1597), dreaming of a high room, had to try to record a volume, and there were many missing lines. Ask the bystander, "This is the subject of the trial." Asked, "Why are you missing a name?" "Kodi Hades three years a test, must accumulate virtue without blame, to be famous." If it is missing before, it is the old Chinese style, and those who have gone away because of the new and thin lines are also gone. After pointing to a line of clouds: "For three years, Ru has been quite cautious, or should make up for this, fortunately self-love." "It's one hundred and five of the kogos.

From this point of view, if you raise your head three feet, there will be a god; it is up to me to avoid evil. Only when I have the heart to restrain (restrain) my actions (deeds) and not to sin against the spirits of heaven and earth, but to humble myself, so that the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will always have mercy on me, and then there will be a basis for blessing. He who is full of qi will not be a distant instrument, and he will not be of any use even if he is hairy. A man of the slightest insight will not bear to narrow his own quantity, but reject his blessings. Humble is taught to have land, and to take good is infinite, especially for those who cultivate karma.

As the old saying goes, "Those who aspire to fame will get fame; those who aspire to be rich and noble will be rich." "Man has the will, like a tree with roots, and when he establishes this will, he must remember humility, dust (meticulousness) convenience, nature touches the heavens and the earth, and the benefit is up to me." Those who seek to ascend to kodi today did not have true ambitions at first, but they were interested in it on a whim. When it comes, it will be sought, and if it is prosperous (declining), it will stop.

Mencius said: "The good pleasure of the king (the pleasure of the first king) is even greater, and how much (almost) is Qi Qishu [12]?" (Will we strive to be quick and comfortable, expand and fill the work with the people to enjoy the move, and have a national fortune that is not prosperous?) "The same is true for the name of the section.

【Notes】

[1] Yi Qian: "Qian: Heng. A gentleman has an end. Kong Yingda Shuo: "The humble one, bending down to things, putting people before themselves, treating things in this way, then everything is passed, so it is called 'Heng' also." The humble behavior of the little man cannot last long, but the 'gentleman has an end' also. 'Humility' is the best of all deeds, the ultimate of goodness. Song Huyi's "Zhou Yikouyi": "Humble and humble, the heavenly path is poor and bright, and the authentic is humble and upward." This interpretation is therefore the way of humility also. Although the celestial body is strong, it is born of all things because of its ability to lower its qi, and it is humble and enlightening. The earth is humble, so its qi rises, and it helps to become all things. The weather falls, the earth's qi rises, and the two qi intersect, and all things can be generated, which is the righteousness of humility. With the heavens and the earth as great, still humble and then prosperous, what about people? ”

[2] Yi Qian: "Humble, Heng, the heavenly way is poor and bright, and the tunnel is humble and upward." The heavenly way is profitable and humble, the tunnel becomes profitable and humble, the ghosts and gods are rich and blessed, and the humane evil is rich and humble. Humble and light, humble and insurmountable, the end of a gentleman. Kong Yingda Shuo: "The 'Heavenly Dao loses profits and benefits from humility', and since then, he has widely said the beauty of humility, so that a gentleman can end his righteousness." 'Loss' means derogation, detracting from profit and gaining humility. If the day is in the middle of the day, the moon is eclipsed, and the loss is reduced. If the winner loses, the humble also benefits. 'The tunnel becomes surplus and flows modestly', the genus of hills and valleys, the high one gradually goes down, the lower one becomes higher, it is the one who changes the 'surplus', and the one who flows 'modest' is also. 'The ghosts and gods harm the profit and the blessed', the proud one is killed, and the humble one is blessed, it is 'harming the profit and blessing the humble' also. 'Those who are evil and humble', overflowing with arrogance, are all evil; humble and humble, all are good. 'Humble and light, humble and insurmountable', His Holiness has humility and is more bright and grand, humble and insurmountable, is the end of a gentleman. A gentleman can end his humble good deeds, and receive the ultimate blessing of humility, so the cloud 'the end of a gentleman' is also. "The gist of it is to say: The Way of Heaven detracts from losses and gains and retreats; those who gain from the high in the tunnel fall and fall back, and those who are inferior are poured in and gain; the way of the ghosts and gods harms the proud and blesses the humble; if it is too much, it is lost, and if it is insufficient, it benefits; and humanity abstains from arrogance and exhorts humility.

[3] "Full of losses, humble benefits" sentence: "Shang Shu Da Yu Mo": "Full of losses, humble benefits, when the time is the way of heaven." The biography of Kong Anguo: "It is the common way of heaven for those who are complacent to lose and those who are humble to benefit." ”

[4] Qianguang: "Humble and light, humble and insurmountable, the end of a gentleman." Song Chengyi's Yichuan Yichuan (vol. 2): "Humility is humble, and his Taoism is great and glorious." Although self-contemptible, but its virtue is not superior, it is incorruptible. A gentleman is sincere and humble, constant and unchanging, and has an end, so he respects the light. ”

There are eight volumes of the "Ding Qinghui Public Testament Collection" that have been handed down. The Biography of Ming Shi Ding Bin (vol. 221): "For thirty years in the Southern Capital of Binguan, every time he encountered a drought, he asked for a loan, and when he became a monk, he became a wealth master."

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the re-donation of 3,000 stones to the poor people, with 3,000 gold to replace those who cannot lose the next household. Fu pressed the record of his succession, and when he had added the prince Shaobao, he was ordered to enter the prince's taibao and jingqi's door. In his seniority, three were questioned. Yuan Yifan's "Book of Retiring Ding Jingyu": "The true heart under the feet, the deeds of Kai, do not dare to be the first in the world, and the whole world gives way, and the words are like negation, but can make the listener intoxicated, so that the softness prevails over the world to the strongest, and the inaction wins over the world's existence, the great man of the world, and the giant of science." ”

[7] Feng Mengzhen (1548-1606), also known as Feng Mengzhen (1548-1606), was a native of Xiushui (present-day Jiaxing), Zhejiang.

[9] Zhao Yufeng Guangyuan: Liang Yongkang et al. Xiu, Zhao Xishu et al., Qing Daoguang's Guanxian Zhi (vol. VIII, Daoguang Ten Years Repair, Republic of China Twenty-three Years Supplement): "Zhao Guangyuan, Zi Shifang, No. Yu Feng. Sexual humility, not competition. In the seventeenth year, Zhonglong Qingding was raised. For a long time, he followed the Father's Jiashan Lord. Mu Qian Mingwu, to make righteousness righteous. Ming Wu was arrogant and harsh, and he was unscrupulous, and he urgently needed to change the refuters, and Yuan Yifan remembered his deeds. In the following year, he became a jinshi, served as Pinggu Ling, transferred to Xingtai, and restored Jingyang in Shaanxi, so that he could win the people. He was appointed as the head of the Henan Qing Bureau of the Hubu Ministry, and served the prime minister Changping. Every time the salary is told, it is a painting with the heart, and the degree is supported to fill it. The name of the Imperial Prize: 'Where the fat is moistened, the calculation is clear.' 'Promoted to the rank of Governor of Baoding. When the illness returns to the hometown, it is no different from the time when the doctor calls it. Sage of the village. ”

[10] Qian Mingwu: Press: Some scholars believe that Mingwu is Qian Wude, and that he is related to anyone, and hereby records it for examination. Qing Guangxu's "Chronicle of Jiashan County": "Qian Wude, the character Zhanru, the mechanics of food poverty, the Book of Bo Jiqun." At the beginning of the Wanli Calendar, He County was called three families, Feng Mengzhen, Yuan Huang and Wu Deye. The prestige is high, although the students are students, the people of the time are salty to the public auxiliary period. Longqing for four years, lifted in the township, Bingduo returned to safety, promoted to security order, and more huizheng. 邑 is castrated and does not communicate with it. Replace Taining and improve the innocence. If gold is placed in a tea vessel to give it to, it is sealed and returned. The people are bitterly endowed, and the nuclear property is divided into households, and all of them are equally defeated, and their harm is stopped. Yi produces intestinal grass, and many people live lightly. Wu De ordered the offenders to pick up the grass, and the amount of money was to atone for the crime. Years and years, the roots are exhausted. Moved to Ningzhou, washed away unjust prisons, all living people have no count. Save the big man, correct the way, be upset, live in the official without emollient cream, and stay at home without asking about production. Whoever burns the voucher and breaks the responsibility, assists in the marriage and burial, is happy to do it. The township drinks and raises big guests, and the salty resignation does not go.

Xia Jiuding, Zitai Qing. Qing Guangxu's Jiashan County Chronicle of Science (vol. 20): "Xia Jiuding, who learned little from Gu Xiancheng, was learned from Yao Jiang's "Records of Transmission and Practice", which is to say: 'The human heart is self-prepared, and it is not false and external.

Luo, the suzerainty of science and the attendant of the officers and soldiers, was falsely imprisoned. Jiuding was lectured from prison and did not quit on New Year's Day. Dengjinshi, that is, resisting the injustice of the white, re-neglecting the three kings and sealing the affairs, people respect it. Ding Yangui still set up a teaching Liang Jie, served The Emperor, supplemented the new Yu Order, adjusted the Peace and Blessing, all of them were clean and self-motivated, and made many political achievements. Counting, dying in the Tao, poverty cannot be suppressed. Life is righteous, laughter is not scrupulous, daytime deeds, sunset will be booked, and movements and worlds will be disregarded. When Ren Anfu was in charge, he cared for the people like a son, treated the scholars and doctors with courtesy, and did not dare to do anything selfish. The people are called Xia Tie'er. ”
