Zou Mugong loved the people like a son

For example, in the "Qunshu Zhijiao" records the story of a Zou Mugong. When Zou Mugong was the monarch, he was very strict with himself, he did not pay attention to delicious food, and he did not pay attention to colorful clothes. He is very mean to himself, but he is very lenient to the people. He loved his people as a Son, and treated them as a loving Father cared for his children. Therefore, although the State of Zou was very weak, like the great powers of Lu Guo and Wei Guo, they did not dare to despise it, and the State of Qi and the State of Chu could not threaten it. When Zou Mugong passed away, the people of Zou Guo were very sad. Even the people of Zou Guo's neighbors, when they heard that Zou Mugong had passed away, expressed their sorrow in the direction of Zou Guo, and the people could not even hear the sound of playing the piano. Why? Because they felt that such a good monarch had passed away, they couldn't enjoy themselves until a year after Mu Gong's death, and then they heard Qinse's voice again. Jia Yi commented on this matter: "Therefore, those who love to come out love the opposite, and those who are blessed are blessed." What does that mean? Even if you can treat others with kindness, others will return the favor to you. As Mencius said, "He who loves others will always love him; he who respects others will always respect him." Whoever can bring happiness to the people of the world will naturally come to his own blessings.
