Mencius said: the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony. (translation)
Mencius said: "The weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony." "Three miles of the city, seven miles of Guo, ring and attack. If the husband attacks it, he will get the right time; However, if you don't win, it's better to be in the right place. " "The city is not high, the pond is not deep, the soldiers are not strong, and there are not many meters; It is not as good as people to entrust it. " "Therefore, it is said that the people in the territory do not take the edge of the frontier, the country does not take the risk of the mountain stream xi, and the world does not take the benefits of the military revolution." "Those who get the word help more, and those who lose the word help less. If you help less, your relatives will help, and if you help more, the world will be smooth. Take the world as you like and attack your relatives, so the gentleman wins without a fight. " Mencius said: The right time and place are not as good as human harmony, and the right place is not as good as the cooperation of Qi Xin. A small town with an inner wall of three miles and an outer wall of seven miles cannot be attacked on all sides. Since we are besieged on all sides, there is always a good time or place, but we still can't break through. It can be seen that the good time and place are not as good as people. On the other hand, the city wall is not high, the moat is not deep, the weapons and armor are not extremely strong, and the food and grass are not insufficient, but they still abandon the city and flee, which shows that the favorable terrain is not as good as that of Qi Xin. Therefore, people can't be bound by blocking the border, the country can't be saved by mountains and rivers, and the world can't be achieved by sharp weapons. People with morality get more help, while people without morality get less help. When there are few people to help, even relatives will betray; When the number of people who help is extremely high, all people will obey. To attack a person who even betrays his loved ones with the power of the world's submission is bound to defeat the enemy without fighting. 〓 Data 〓 is selected from The Ugly Sun of Mencius, and Mencius is a successful thinker. Mencius was written by Mencius and his disciples. Zoucheng, Shandong, a thinker and educator in the Warring States period, is another representative of Confucian school who is equally famous with Confucius after Confucius. He is known as "Confucius and Mencius" and is honored as a "saint" in the world. Mencius was born in the noble state of Lu, and his ancestor was Sun Meng in the late period of Lu. But when Mencius was born, his family had already declined. The chaos at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period gradually declined their family and forced them to move from Shandong to Zou. After that, things were difficult, and Mencius had to "rent a house" when he was young. The situation of Mencius' parents cannot be verified now. What has been handed down is that Mencius lost his husband in his childhood and lived with his mother. For the study of Mencius, Meng Mu chose his neighbor and stayed for three times, but he got angry and broke the machine. From the age of 40, Mencius began to get in touch with politicians from all over the world, wandering among vassal States and propagating his thoughts and political opinions. Mencius inherited Confucius' thought of "benevolence" and advocated "people-oriented". "The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the light." Mencius opposed the annexation war. He believes that war is too cruel and advocates "benevolent government" to unify the world. Mencius' theory of "benevolent governance" is based on the theory of "good nature". Mencius said, "Everyone has a hidden heart." He believes that goodness is the unique nature of human beings and the fundamental symbol that distinguishes human beings from animals. Interpreting and understanding the relationship between heaven, earth and human beings has always been a concern of people. Who is the most important of the three has become a topic of discussion. As we quoted in the notes, Xunzi once discussed the problems of climate, geography, people and harmony from the perspective of agricultural production. But he did not distinguish who is important and who is not, but the three are equally important and indispensable. Mencius mainly analyzes and discusses the relationship between climate, geography and human harmony from the military aspect, and has a clear-cut banner: "climate is not as good as geography, and geography is not as good as human harmony." Of the three, "harmony between people" is the most important and decisive factor, followed by "location" and "weather". This is inseparable from his thought of always attaching importance to people's subjective initiative, and also from his purpose of discussing climate, geography, people and relations, and also from his purpose of discussing climate, geography, people and relations. It is from emphasizing the importance of "harmony between people" that he came to the conclusion that "those who gain the Tao will help more, while those who lose the Tao will help less". This led the problem from military to politics, and actually returned to his "old-fashioned" topic of "benevolent governance". According to Mencius, the people can't be bound by blocking the border, and the country can't be saved by mountains and rivers. Therefore, there is no way to go abroad. We should reform and open up, strengthen our national strength and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. As long as this is achieved, that is, "those who get the word will help more", and if they help to the extreme, the people of the world will submit. Then there must be what Confucius said-"Then people from all directions will come without children." People from all over the world come to apply for studying abroad, doing business, and even applying for immigration and settlement with their wives and children. Where is the necessity of Frontier of Frontier? I'm afraid I can't get rid of it. In this way, "those who gain the Tao help more, those who lose it help less" has become a famous saying, so that we still often use it to evaluate international relations and condemn hegemonism. Of course, "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as the harmony between people" is also a famous saying, which is also widely used in business competitions, sports competitions, especially football competitions. This fully shows that its philosophy is rich, profound and broad. The so-called "people are United, Taishan is the top." Who said that "human harmony" is not the most important wealth?
