Mencius said, "A gentleman is a gentleman. Haven't you learned manners?

He who takes obedience as the right path is also a concubine. Live in a vast place in the world, stand in the right position in the world and be the best self in the world.

Translation:
Jing Chun said, "Aren't Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi really successful men with ambitions? When they were angry, the princes were afraid. When they are quiet, the world will be peaceful. "
Mencius said, "How can this be regarded as an ambitious and accomplished person?" Haven't you learned manners? When the man was crowned, his father punished him; When the woman got married, her mother instructed her to walk her to the door, warning her:' When you get to your husband's house, you must be respectful and careful, and don't be against your husband!'
Obedience first is the code of conduct followed by female families. A gentleman should live in the widest house in the world-benevolence, stand in the most correct position in the world-propriety, and take the most correct road in the world-righteousness.
When you succeed, follow the people on the right path; When frustrated, a person goes his own way. Wealth cannot confuse his thoughts, poverty cannot shake his integrity, and power cannot bend his will. This is an ambitious and accomplished man. "
The origin of the idiom: Mencius under Teng Wengong: "Richness cannot be lewd, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be bent. This is called a gentleman. "
Extended data:
Jingchun thinks that Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi can control the vassals and provoke wars between countries. "When the princes are angry, they fear, and the world dies." This is a great man.
Mencius believed that Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yizhi climbed up by shaking their lips and obeying the wishes of the governors, and there was no principle of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Therefore, they are just villains and women, and they are pursuing the "way of concubinage". How can they be brave people?
Mencius only used "courtesy" to explain a woman's mother's instructions when she got married, and thus concluded that "those who take obedience as the right path are also concubines." What deserves our attention here is that the ancients thought that a wife's way was like a minister's way. Of course, I should obey you, but the principle of obedience is justice. If you are unfair, I will protest.
The same is true of a wife to her husband. Of course, a wife should obey her husband. However, if her husband did, she should persuade him to correct it. It should be "harmony but difference" only eunuchs, little wives, little maids, who don't ask right and wrong and blindly obey principles. Actually, there is no principle.
Mencius believes that this "concubine way" can not be generally understood as a woman's way, but actually a "little wife way", and only Confucianism's benevolence and courtesy is the "gentleman's way".
Mencius' satire was profound and sharp, and he hated Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi. However, is Mencius' sarcasm really correct? The idea of strategists is to deal with other countries, promote the unification of the world and realize the ideal and ambition of "one country under the world" by combining and dividing the relationship between princes (diplomatic means).
They are not unprincipled concubines, but outstanding ancient diplomats. Mencius blindly interpreted it as "the way of concubinage." From this perspective, Mencius' statement is not up to standard.
Mencius' method is to put forward the real way of being a man in a tit-for-tat manner. This is his famous saying, which has been passed down through the ages: "Wealth cannot be lewd, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be bent." How? Then you have to "live in the world, stand in the right position in the world and be the best in the world." Or go back to the benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom that Confucianism has always advocated.
After doing this, we will adopt the attitude of "being comrades with the people, not doing it for ourselves", that is, Confucius said "using what is used, hiding what is abandoned" (The Analects of Confucius) or Mencius said in another place that "poverty is the only way to protect yourself, and prosperity is the best way to help the world." ("wholeheartedly" then you can become a real gentleman.
Although Mencius' famous saying about "gentleman" is inappropriate in criticizing strategists, the famous saying "wealth can't be lewd, power can't be bent" still shines brightly, inspiring many people with lofty ideals in history and becoming their motto of upholding justice without fear of * * *.

Explanation:
When the man was crowned, his father gave discipline; When the woman got married, her mother gave her instructions, sent her to the door, and warned her: "When you get to your husband's house, you must be respectful. Be careful not to go against your husband! Obedience is the principle of being a concubine.

1, "Poor can't move", the more popular expression should be "Poor can't give up". What can't you give up? It is ideal, morality and all the principles of being a man; This is the spiritual sustenance of the poor for many years, and it is also a "flood dam" built by the poor for their own morality for many years. The so-called "flood control dam" means that if there is no such dam, people can't help being caught in the torrent.
The real meaning of "being poor can't move" is to warn the poor that they can move easily, just as "being rich can't be lewd" is actually a bad habit of lewdness. Being poor can easily make people regard poverty as an irreplaceable reason and give up their ideals, morality and all principles of being a man. Almost all negative images in society come from poverty.
2. But these two kinds of people only proved half, confusing the other half: poverty and meanness seem to be the same thing, but they are not the same concept. Poverty must be the premise of meanness, but meanness is not necessarily the result of poverty.
Poverty is the upper part and the lower part. Shell is an ancient currency, and the shell should be separated. Of course, it is the lack of property that leads to poverty. Poverty is a state of being relative to wealth. Fang Zhimin once wrote Immortal Poverty, and he understood poverty as a kind of spiritual wealth.
Cheap, relative to expensive, is not the state of life but the taste of life; The original meaning of meanness is "low price", which can also be understood as low status and despicable personality; By extension, it is a bitch, a bitch, and * * *. There used to be a vulgar swear word called "bitch", which is enough to show how disgusting "bitch" is. Why is "Miss" called a chicken instead of a phoenix? Because chicken is worthless, cheap and cheap is the personality of this group of people.
A person can be poor but not cheap, but poverty is likely to be a cheap mother. Because you are poor, you are cheap, because you are cheap, you move, because you move, you are not poor, and because you are not poor, you are even cheaper. This series of causality, like a powerful magnet, attracts all the poor people into its magic circle, and there are indeed many poor people trapped, so there is one kind of poor people that makes us awe-inspiring, that is, steadfast people.
