When Zishou was dying for a short time, he called his disciples to come close and kowtow at the side of the bed. The voice is soft and slow, but the sound is shining brightly. He asked:

I have been talking about the princes for several years, but I finally returned to Yueqing without seeing the ceremony. My body is made of plain food, my clothes are linen, and my carriage is poor. It would be unwise to give up on my desires when I reach the end of my road and understand the desires given by God.

What you have learned are words to secure the throne, bind the common people, or embroider robes for the king. The king's helpless ears are deaf, enjoying wonderful music is like hearing the chirping of miscellaneous birds. He throws the title of Sikou at Zhongni, thinking it is a great humiliation. It cannot be broken for long. Honghu's great ambition was actually ruined by being a slave to others and not knowing his independence. If there is no position, there will be no action, which will only damage the wisdom. I will realize it too late. Alas, the country of Lu is the sad place for my official career. Don't follow the same path as your master. If the king fails, he will be the next prince. Once again, he will be a merchant. He will be a merchant and provide food for the rest of his life. He will not be as happy as a big thief. I will teach you what I have learned. Remember: those who practice it will prosper, and those who talk in vain will wither. Applying one law to the country is better than hundreds of thoughts on bamboo. I predict that if there is a great ruler in the future, he will follow my laws to control the people, and he will mold my body into the temple to become the soul of the country. However, instead of respecting my body, what I say is that I am pretending to be a Zhongni in name and in reality of his position.

Those who support soldiers are also the masters of people, and all living things are maggots under their feet; those who offer advice are also the slaves of the king, and they rely on others to rest in peace. How can a sharp tongue be compared with a sharp sword? What a fool! Scholars are rarely seen as kings in ancient times. They all waste their time on articles because they don't know how to fight. Those who walk alone may live under the tent of a warrior, or sleep in a side room of a traitor. In this way, how can we order the world? The throne stands on withered bones, and the king's cup overflows with purple liquid. Is the new king different from the old king? It is in vain for all kings to pray for eternal life for all generations! If things can be plundered, strong men must take advantage of them; if positions can be seized, heroes must plan for them. Then it goes round and round, gaining it, losing it, regaining it, losing it again, like a rare item in a market changing hands. In a nutshell, if you are good in practice, you will be a king, and you are a god; if you are good in learning, you will be an official, and you are a slave; if you are good in calculation, you will be a businessman, and you will be a hero; if you are crazy about books and do not doubt them, you are a fool. A wise man always speaks for the sake of the people, so he will be followed by many. If you are looking for a job, you can escape. Yi's clever tongue makes his followers support his master, and the people think so. Therefore, those who determine the world must be good at leveraging the power of the people. If the people are foolish, the country will be stable; if the people are wise, the world will be chaotic.

King Wu was praised by everyone, and King Zhou was slandered by everyone. It’s no different! They all regard the soil and the public as private. Private people are only afraid of losing. Anyone who is a king has too much restraint, follows his own heart and desires, welcomes those who are good to him, and serves the king like a child. Understand this principle, spin the king like the palm of a hand, and hold his colleagues like a feather, and his career will not last long. If you go against it, you will be like a tiger, and your colleagues will be like claws of a tiger. You will die suddenly without knowing the cause. If there is a faint person, there will be a gap and it can be replaced.

Those who govern the world know that the people must be thin. Suppress the desires of the people, and the people will thank the king. If the people's desires are strong, the king's kindness will not bear fruit. If you feed a hungry man, you will be praised as a benevolent person; if you give light things to a noble family, his slaves will also sneer at him. Is Ren Fei a bait? It is up to the king to provide benefits to the people, and the people will always praise the king's benevolence.

To control the people, binding their souls is the highest priority, imprisoning their bodies is the last resort, and destroying their bodies is the lowest priority. Granting a man the power to control a woman is half the work for the king. Granting authority to the father to govern the son is half of the king's work. What I said about being loyal, righteous, and filial is actually not contrary to what is above.

Ceremony is a shackle that clamps the soul and body of the people. It’s up to you to lock it, and it’s up to you to open it. From ancient times, I have never heard of a king restrained by rituals, but I have seen that those who make rituals are often shackled. How about the common people? Although ritual is intangible, it is a sharp weapon, capable of winning thousands of battles.

Happiness is the ode to the king. If the music is clear, the people will miss the king like nectar; if the music is turbid, the people will be tempted by those who confuse the people. The narrow people have different voices, and those who offend the superiors will do nothing. An unwise king only knows how to kill people with a halberd, but does not know how to break a dike, and his country will be destroyed. Therefore, anyone who sticks out his tongue must poke it.

I am going to Hades, and my words are not false. If you follow this commandment, you will have a smooth journey! Cut.

After saying this, the son passed away.

Translate it into the vernacular version

Before Confucius died, he asked his disciples to kneel beside his bed. Although Confucius spoke in a low and slow voice, he was in good spirits. And began to tell his disciples:

I have lobbied the kings of various countries for many years, but in the end I did not see a situation where order was restored and public opinion was unified. In my whole life, I have never had anything good to eat, nothing to wear, and the cars I have taken are not decent. It was only when I was about to die that I realized that it was really unwise for me not to enjoy the things that God gave me to enjoy.

If you give a hungry person a little food, he will praise you for your kindness. If you give a light gift to a wealthy family, even his servants will look down on you. Isn’t kindness a bait? Block all the ways for the people to make money, and they can only get what they want from the king, so the people will praise the king for his kindness.

The best way to control the people is to control their thoughts. Only when necessary can they be imprisoned. Beheading is the worst way. Let the men control all the women, and the king will only have to control half of the people. If the father is allowed to take care of all his children, the king will only have to take care of a quarter of the people. The essence of loyalty, righteousness and filial piety I am talking about is not going against the wishes of superiors.

The so-called etiquette is the shackles that lock the souls and bodies of the people. It is up to the king to lock or open it. Since ancient times, etiquette has never been seen to restrain the king. But many of those who made the rituals were imprisoned, not to mention ordinary people. Although etiquette is invisible, it is a sharp weapon that is better than thousands of brave soldiers.

The so-called music refers to articles praising the king. Public opinion is unified, and the people miss the king like longing for manna after a long drought. If the people are allowed to say whatever they want, those who incite the masses will benefit. Don't let the common people talk nonsense, and those who make trouble will have nothing to do. The unwise king only knew that swords and spears could calm the people, but he did not know that words could also destroy the embankment. So, their country is doomed. Those who incite the people with their speeches must be killed without mercy.

I am a person who is about to die, and I will never talk nonsense. If you do what I say, you will definitely walk on the Yangguan Avenue. Be sure to remember what I said.

After saying these words, Confucius died.
