Mencius Vol. VI Teng Wen Gongxia X

Kuang Zhangyue: "Isn't Chen Zhongzi sincere and honest?" He lived in the mausoleum, did not eat for three days, heard nothing, and saw nothing. There is a plum in the well, and more than half of the people who eat the real thing are creeping forward, and they will eat it, swallow it three times, and then hear it and see it. ”

Mencius said, "As a soldier of the State of Qi, I will take Zhongzi as a giant." Although, Nakako evil can be honest? If you are filled with the exercises of Zhongzi, then the worms will be able to do the same. Fu worms, eat the soil on the top, drink the yellow spring under. The room where Zhongzi lived, the house built by Bo Yi? Or is it also built with the place of thieves? The millet that is eaten, the tree that is eaten by Bo Yi, and the tree that is eaten by Bo Yi? Or is it also the tree of the thief's foot? Is unknowable also. ”

"What hurts?" He weaves a tuna, and his wife breaks up, so that he can change it. ”

Yue: "Zhongzi, Qi Zhi Shijiaye, brother Dai, Gai Lu Wanzhong." Take the brother's lu as an unrighteous lu and not eat it, take the brother's room as the unrighteous room and not live in it, and leave the brother and leave the mother, and be in the Yu mausoleum. When he returns one day, there are those who give birth to geese to his brother, and he often knows: 'Is it the evil one who uses it?' On his day, his mother killed the goose and ate with it. His brother came from the outside and said, 'Yes the flesh also.' 'Wow. If the mother does not eat, if he eats with his wife, if he dwells in the brother's room, he who dwells in the mausoleum, is it still possible to be able to do so? If the middle of the child, the worm and then the also. ”

【Translation】

Kuang Zhang said, "Isn't Chen Zhongzi a clean scholar?" Living in Yuling, he didn't eat for three days, so hungry that his ears couldn't hear or his eyes couldn't see. There was a plum in the well, which was mostly eaten by the scarab beetle, and he climbed over, took it and ate it, swallowed it three times, and only then could his ears hear it and his eyes could see it. ”

Mencius said, "Among the scholars of the State of Qi, I must have regarded Chen Zhongzi as a thumbs up. Despite this, how can Nakako be counted as incorruptible? To expand Nakako's integrity, it must be an earthworm. Earthworms eat dry soil on the ground and drink yellow springs on the ground. The house where Zhongzi lived was built by an incorruptible man like Boyi? Or was it built by robbers like the thief? The grain of rice eaten was planted by a man as incorruptible as Bo Yi? Or is it planted by bandits like the thief? This is unknowable. ”

Kuang Zhang said, "What does it matter?" He personally knitted straw shoes, and his wife practiced hemp and used these in exchange for daily necessities. ”

Mencius said: "Zhongzi is a large family of the State of Qi; his brother Chen Dai, who received tens of thousands of stones from Gaiyi. He regarded his brother's house as an unrighteous lu and did not eat it, regarded his brother's house as a room of injustice and did not dwell, avoided his brother, left his mother, and lived in Yuling. One day when he came home and someone gave his brother a live goose, Nakako frowned and said, 'Where is this screaming thing?' Some time later, his mother killed the goose and gave it to him to eat. His brother came back from outside and said, 'This is the flesh of that howling thing.' Nakako went out and threw up. If the mother's things are not eaten, the wife's things are eaten; the brother's house does not live, and Yu Ling's house lives. People like Nakako, being earthworms, can expand his integrity. ”
