"Studying and Reading in the Country" on Gentlemen and Villains - "Xunzi"

[Original] The prince, the villain's opposite also. The great heart of the prince respects the heavens and the Tao, and the small heart fears righteousness and discipline; the knowledge is clear and the kind, and the foolishness is the law; the reason is respectful and stopped; the closed is respectful and harmonious; the joy is harmonious, Worries are quiet and rational; the general rules are clear and clear, and the poor are about detail.

The little man is not the same, the big heart is slow and violent, the small heart is obscene and pouring; the knowledge is stealing and gradually, the foolish is poisonous and chaotic; the reason is exchanged for the reason, the closed is resentful and dangerous; the joy is light and the old, Worries are frustrated and intimidating; generally, arrogance is biased, and poverty is abandoned.

It is said: "The prince enters twice, and the villain is destroyed twice." This is also true.

[Interpretation] The prince is the opposite of the villain. If the prince is devoted to the great, he will respect nature and obey the law; if he is small, he will fear righteousness and exercise restraint; if he is wise, If they are stupid, they will be honest and honest and obey the law; if they are appointed, they will be respectful and not indulgent; if they are not appointed, they will be respectful and not indulgent; if they are not appointed, He will be cautious and discipline himself; if he is happy, he will govern peacefully; if he is sad, he will deal with it calmly; if he is noble, he will be elegant and wise; if he is poor, he will be gentle and wise. He will see things clearly by myself.

If the villain is not like this, if he uses his heart in the big way, he will be arrogant and rude; if he uses his heart in the small way, he will be evil and turn to others; if he is wise, They will use their cunning and arrogance; if they are stupid, they will be vicious and cruel and will make trouble; if they are appointed, they will be happy and arrogant; if they are not appointed, they will be arrogant. If they are happy, they will be frivolous and impatient; if they are sad, they will be discouraged and frightened; if they are noble, they will be arrogant and unjust; if they are poor, they will be unjust. They will give up on themselves and be humble in their interests.

The ancient book says, "The prince is progressing in two opposite situations, and the villain is falling in both opposite situations." That's what we're talking about.
