From "Augmented Xianwen". Zengguang Xianwen, also known as Xianwen in Past Dynasties and Xianwen in Past Dynasties, is a collection of ancient teachings and folk proverbs, and it is an enlightening bibliography for ancient children in China. The title of the book was first seen in the drama Peony Pavilion in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, so it can be inferred that this book was written in the Wanli period at the latest. Later, after the continuous supplement of scholars in Ming and Qing dynasties, it was changed to this appearance, which was called "the glory of the past dynasties" and commonly known as "the glory of the text". Its content brings together all kinds of proverbs about treating people, which is very philosophical and embodied in all aspects of Buddhism and Confucianism. As the saying goes, "what you read can be said, and what you read can be done in the world." I haven't seen any books, except that it was revised by Confucian scholars during Tongzhi period in Qing Dynasty, which is probably the crystallization of folk creation.
From the first volume of Levin's Biography of Hu Xueyan: "A gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. It is natural that you are from Old Master Q. " Interpreted as: a gentleman only needs property obtained through proper channels, and does not need ill-gotten gains. (Gentleman: Only when there is talent can there be benevolence. ) used in life.
Confucius said: "wealth and status are what people yearn for, but they are not what they get, and gentlemen don't accept them;" Poverty and humbleness are disgusting to everyone, but we can't get rid of them unless we get rid of them by Tao. Can a gentleman justify evil if he is divorced from righteousness? Therefore, a gentleman never deviates from the Tao at any time-even in a short time after eating, he is not only in a hurry, but also when he is displaced. "
