9.9 Hundred Mile Xi Yu People Also
9.9 [original]
Wan Zhang asked, "Or do you know that Baili Xi is eating cattle in the skin of the five sheep of the Qin cattle breeders in order to ask Qin Mugong to believe (1)?" ”
Mencius said, "No, or else, the good deeds will do the same (2). Baili Xiyu people also (3). The Jin people took advantage of the false path of the weeping thorn and the false path of the yield to Yu Yifa, the qizhi of the palace, the hundred miles of Xi not to advise, and the Qin of the Knowledge of Yu Gong (4). Seventy years old, I did not know that eating cattle dried Qin Mu Gongzhi was also polluted, which can be described as zhihu (5)! It is unwise to be unwise (6)! Knowing that Yu Gongzhi will die and go first is not unwise (7). When it comes to Qin, knowing that Mu Gongzhi can be compared with you, it can be said that it is unwise (8)! The Qin Dynasty shows its king in the world, and can be passed on to future generations, and it is not virtuous but capable (9)! The self-righteous become their kings, and the township party does not do what is good, but the sage does it (10)! ”
9.9 [General Interpretation]
Wan Zhang asked, "Some people say that Bai Lixi sold himself to the Qin people who raised livestock with five sheepskins to feed their cattle to seek closeness to Qin Mugong, is that true?" ”
Mencius replied, "No, it's not like that, it's a good thing someone made up." Bai Lixi is a native of Yu. The people of the Jin Dynasty used the Bi produced in this place and the four horses produced in QuDi to borrow the road from the State of Yu to attack the State of Yu, gong Zhiqi dissuaded, Baili Xi did not dissuade, knowing that the King of the State of Yu could not be dissuaded, he left the State of Yu and went to the State of Qin. He was already seventy years old, and he didn't even know that seeking to see Qin Mugong by raising cattle for others was a dirty act, could he be wise? If you can't dissuade him, don't dissuade him, can you say that he is unwise! Knowing that Yu Gong was going to perish, he would first leave the kingdom of Yu, and it could not be said that he was unwise. When he was selected by the State of Qin, knowing that Qin Mugong could do something with him, he would assist him, could he be said to be unwise! Serving as the prime minister of the Qin state and making his monarch famous can be recited by future generations, is not a virtuous person able to do this! Sell yourself to become your own monarch, and the self-loving people in the village will not do it, do you say that the wise people do such a thing! ”

9.9[Interpretations and Reviews]
This chapter answers the question of "or Baili Xi eats cattle in the skin of the five sheep of the Qin cattle in order to ask Qin Mugong to believe", Mencius rejects the rumor that "or Baili Xi eats cattle in the skin of the five sheep of qin cattle to ask Qin Mugong", and then explains the reason with five rhetorical questions and one statement sentence. Mencius's view is credible. Bai Li Xi was a doctor in the small Yu Kingdom, and after he defected to the State of Qi at the age of seventy, he was reused by Qin Mugong to show that Bai Li Xi had a fairly high IQ, and he could not be stupid to "eat cattle in the skin of the five sheep of the Qin cattle to ask for Qin Mugong", but the rumor that "Baili Xi was self-reliant on the skin of the Qin cattle of the qin cattle breeder Five Sheep to eat cattle to want Qin Mugong" can be widely circulated with the help of the Zhengshi "History" and has not faded to this day.
Regarding Bai Lixi's "self-mane", "skin of the five sheep", and "eating cattle to ask for Qin Mugong", there are different legends in history, and the "History of Shang Junlie" and the "History of Qin Benji" are themselves "fighting", which is different from what Mencius said. "Mencius" predates the "History of History", Mencius's theory is more credible than the "History of History", "Baili Xi does not advise (Yu Gong), knowing that Yu Gong can not be consulted and go to Qin", that is to say, Bai Li Xi himself ran to the Qin Kingdom and finally met Qin Mugong, there is no process of "self-defeating" and "eating cattle to ask For Qin Mugong". But Mencius also said that "a hundred miles of Xiju is raised in the city" (see "15 Shunfa under the Confession of the Son" in the Mu Mu), "lifted in the city" is "selected in the downtown", and the opportunity and process of this "selection" leave people with room for imagination.
"Or Baili Xi Zi Zi Yu Qin cattle in the skin of the Qin cattle breeder Five Sheep to ask Qin Mugong" is a long single sentence, which is parsed layer by layer below.
The subject of this single sentence is "or", the predicate is "曰", and "Baili Xi is self-inflicted on the skin of the Qin cattle of the five sheep to ask For Qin Mugong" is the object of "曰".
This big object phrase "Baili Xi self-inflicted on the skin of the five sheep of the Qin cattle to ask for Qin Mugong" is the main verb phrase. The subject is "Baili Xi", and the predicate is "Eat cattle in the skin of the five sheep of the Qin cattle in order to ask for Qin Mugong".
"Eat cattle in the skin of the five sheep of the Qin cattle in order to ask for Qin Mugong" is a tightening compound phrase of the purpose relationship. Among them, "eating cattle in the skin of the five sheep of the Qin cattle" is the way of behavior, and "to qin Mugong" is the purpose of the behavior. Think of this phrase as a ligature:
The skin of the five sheep of the Qin cattle breeders >
The central word of this ligature is "self-feeding cattle to Mu Gong".
The purpose of the act of "wanting Qin Mugong". "Want Qin Mugong" is a moving phrase. The verb "to" is predicate, and "Qin Mugong" is the object of "want".
"The Skin of the Five Sheep of the Qin Cattle Breeder" is a verb phrase composed of verb verb phrases. "Self- affliction" is an object preposition phrase, which is "self-assertion", and "self" is prepositioned. "The skin of the five sheep of the qin cattle breeder" is a complement.
The skin of the five sheep of the Qin cattle breeders >
The supplement "The skin of the five sheep of the cattle breeder in Qin" is actually an omission of "the skin of the five sheep for the cattle breeder in Qin".
The whole sentence is translated into today's language: "Some people say that Bai Lixi sold himself to the Qin people who raised livestock with five sheepskins to feed their cattle to seek closeness to Qin Mugong." Let's analyze this complex single sentence again.
"Someone" is the subject, "speaking" is the predicate, and "Baili Xi sold himself to the Qin people who raised livestock with five sheepskins to feed their cattle to seek closeness to Qin Mugong" is the object language.
The object "Baili Xi sold himself to the qin people who raised livestock with five sheepskins to feed their cattle to seek closeness to Qin Mugong" is a subject-verb phrase.
Five sheepskins were sent to the Qin people who raised livestock].
"Baili Xi" is the subject, "with five sheepskins" and "to the Qin people who raise livestock" are the adjectives, "sell yourself to feed the cattle" and "seek to get close to Qin Mugong" are the conjoining components, and "come" is the auxiliary word.
"Sold yourself to feed the cattle" is itself a ligature.
"To" appears in all three chapters of this chapter:
Chapter Seven: "Yi Yin asks for soup by cutting and cooking, and there are many things" "I heard that he wanted soup in the way of Yao Shun, but I did not hear that he wanted soup by cutting and cooking (wanting soup)". This "want" means "to ask", of course, "to seek proximity", and the purpose is of course to guide the soup "in the way of Yao Shun".
Chapter 8: "Confucius was displeased with Lu Wei, and was about to be killed by Sima Huan of Song, and he was slightly subdued and passed the Song." This "to" is the same as "waist", "block the waist and intercept".
Chapter 9: "Or Baili Xi self-inflicted on the skin of the Qin cattle breeder Five Sheep to ask For Qin Mugong, believing that "this" also means "seeking to be close", and the usage is the same as the example in chapter 7.
