Mencius said: "Wealth and honor cannot be fornicated, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot be surrendered. This is called a true man."

Mencius·Li Lou Shang

Mencius said: "Without regular distances, it is impossible to form a square circle; a wise teacher cannot correct the five tones without following the six laws; the way of Yao and Shun cannot govern the world peacefully without benevolent government."

Mencius Said: "There is nothing better than the eyes. Eyes cannot hide evil. If the chest is righteous, the eyes will be clear; if the chest is irregular, the eyes will be dim. Listen to his words and look at his eyes. How can a person be thin?"

Mencius·Gaozi 1

Mencius said: "Fish is what I want; bear's paw is also what I want. You can't have both. One would give up fish and take bear's paw. Life is also what I want. Righteousness, That’s what I want; you can’t have both, and you have to sacrifice your life to get righteousness.”

Mencius said: “Therefore, when Heaven is going to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first strain his mind and work hard. The muscles and bones are hungry, the skin is empty, the body is depleted, and the behavior is disturbed, so the mind and forbearance are used to benefit what it cannot do."

Mencius said: “If you do it without paying attention, you will practice it without noticing it, and you will live by it without knowing the way.”

Mencius said: "It is better to have no books than to believe in all the books."

Volume 1 Chapter 1 of King Hui of Liang

1

Mencius meets King Hui of Liang . The king said: "The old man has not traveled thousands of miles, will he benefit my country?"

Mencius said to him: "Why should the king say benefit? It is just benevolence and righteousness. The king said, 'How can it benefit me? The great man said, "How can I benefit my family?" The common people said, "How can I benefit my body?" Those who kill their king will surely take away a thousand of them, and if they don’t take a hundred, they will not be able to gain more. If they do not take away their relatives, they will not be satisfied. He is the king who has no righteousness. The king also said that it is just benevolence and righteousness. Why should he call it profit?" Mencius saw King Hui of Liang. The king was standing on the marsh, looking at Hongyan and the deer. Said: "Do wise men also enjoy this?"

Mencius said to him: "The wise will enjoy this later, but the unworthy will not enjoy it even though they have this. The poem goes: 'After passing through the Shiling Platform, through it The common people attack it, and it will be completed soon. The king is in Lingbo, and the deer are lying down, and the white birds and cranes are in the marsh. 'King Wen uses the power of the people. The platform is a marsh. The people are happy and call the platform Lingtai and the marsh Lingmarsh. They are happy that there are elk, fish and turtles there. In ancient times, people enjoyed themselves together, so they can enjoy it. If you want to die with your daughter, how can you be happy alone even if there are birds and beasts in the pond?" said King Hui of Liang. : "A humble man is devoted to his country, but only his ears and ears are focused. If there is trouble in the river, move his people to the east of the river, and move his millet to the river. The same goes for the trouble in the east of the river.

Observing the government of neighboring countries is nothing like the intentions of a few people. If the people of neighboring countries do not increase or decrease, if the people of the poor do not increase, then why? ”

Mencius said to him, “The king is warlike, please use the metaphor of war.” After filling up the drum, he caught the weapon, abandoned his armor and followed the soldiers away. It may take a hundred steps and then stop, or it may take fifty steps and then stop. What if you take fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps? "

Said: "No, it can't be a hundred paces straight, so it is also walking." ”

Said: “If the king knows this, there is no hope that the people will be more numerous than those of his neighboring countries. If it is not contrary to the farming season, the grain will not be enough to eat; if a few grains of grain are not entered into the pond, the fish and turtles will not be enough to eat; if the ax weighs a pound of ax and enters the forest at the right time, the wood will not be enough to use. The grain, fish and turtles cannot be eaten, and the wood cannot be used. This is to keep the people alive and die without regret. Maintaining one's health and losing one's life without regrets is the beginning of the king's way.

In a five-acre house with mulberry trees, the fifty-year-old can wear silk; if the chickens, dolphins, dogs, and pigs are kept in their season, the seventy-year-old can eat meat; in the hundred-acre field, do not When you seize it, a family of several people will not be hungry; if you follow the teachings of Xiangxu, you will be raised with filial piety and brotherhood, and those who are awarded Bai will live up to the road. Those who are seventy years old can wear silk and eat meat, and the people are neither hungry nor cold. However, there is no such thing as a king.

A dog eats human food but does not know how to check it; when a person dies, he says: ‘It’s not me, it’s Sui’. ’ How is this different from stabbing someone and killing them, saying: ‘It’s not me, it’s a soldier. ’ When the king was innocent, all the people in the world were here. "

King Hui of Liang said: "I am willing to accept the teaching. ”

Mencius said to him: “Is there any difference between killing people with a stile and a sword?” Said: "There is no difference." "Is there any difference between using a blade and politics?" Said: "There is no difference." ”

Said: “There is fat meat in the kitchen, fat horses in the stables, the people are hungry, and there are hungry weeds in the wild. This is how the beasts eat people.” Animals eat each other, and humans hate it. As parents of the people, administration cannot avoid leading beasts and cannibalism. The evil lies in being a parent to the people? Zhongni said: 'The one who first made the figurines has no descendants! 'It is used because it resembles a human being. How could the people of Sri Lanka die of hunger? "

Fifth

King Hui of Liang said: "In the Kingdom of Jin, there is no one strong in the world, and the old man only knows it. As a widower, I was defeated by Qi in the east, and my eldest son died; I lost my land seven hundred miles to Qin in the west; I was humiliated by Chu in the south. I am ashamed of this, I would like to be like the dead, what can I do? ”

Mencius said to him: “A place a hundred miles long can be king.” The king was benevolent to the people, sparing punishments, collecting taxes lightly, and plowing deeply to make farming easier. The strong ones spend their spare time cultivating their filial piety and loyalty, serving their fathers and brothers when they are in, and serving their superiors when they are out, so that they can control the stiles and attack the strong armor and powerful soldiers of Qin and Chu. When he captured his people, he was unable to cultivate the land to support their parents. Their parents were frozen and hungry, and their brothers and wives were separated. He is drowning his people, and the king goes to conquer them. Who can be the enemy of the king? Therefore it is said: ‘The benevolent are invincible. 'King, please don't doubt me! "

Sixth

Mencius met King Xiang of Liang. When he came out, he said to the man: "Looking at him does not look like a human king. Su Ran asked: "Is the world evil?" ’ I replied: ‘Determined to be one. ’ ‘Who can do it? ’ He replied: ‘Those who are not fond of killing can do it. ’ ‘Who can do it? ’ He said to him, ‘Everyone in the world will not agree with you. Wang Zhifu Miao Hu? If there is a drought between July and August, the seedlings will wither. The sky is cloudy and the rain is falling, and the seedlings are flourishing. If it is like this, who can control it? Today, among the people in the world, there is no one who does not like to kill people. If there are people who do not like to kill people, then all the people in the world will lead and look forward to it. It is true that when the people return, they will descend from the water. Who can control it? ’”

Seven

King Xuan of Qi asked: “Can anyone hear about the affairs of Qi Huan and Jin Wen? ”

Mencius said to him: “Zhongni’s disciples have no way of doing things like Dao, Huan and Wen, which will not be passed down to future generations.” I haven't heard of it yet. If there is no way, then what is the king? ”

Said: “How can you be a king if you are virtuous?” Said: "To protect the people and become a king, no one can control them." He said, "If I have only a few people, how can I protect the people?" "Yes," he said. Said: "How do you know I can do it?" He said: "I heard that Hu Huan said that the king was sitting in the hall, and a cow passed by the hall. When the king saw it, he said, 'Where is the cow?' ’ He said to him, ‘I will challenge the bell. ’ The king said: ‘Give it up! I cannot bear to look at him, and he will die if he is not guilty. ’ He said to him, ‘How about abolishing Zhongyu? ’ He said, ‘Why should we abolish it? Trade it with sheep! ’ Don’t you know there are all kinds of things? "Yes," he said. Said: "This heart is enough to be a king." The people all love the king, but I know that the king cannot bear it. "The king said: "Yes. Those who sincerely have common people. Although the state of Qi is small, why should I love an ox? That is to say, he couldn't bear to look at him, and he would die if he was not guilty, so he changed it to a sheep. Said: "The king is no different from the people who love the king." It's easy to make a big thing out of a small thing. How can he know it? If the king hides his innocence and dies, how can he choose between the cattle and the sheep? Wang laughed and said, "What do you mean by sincerity?" I do not love his wealth. And it is easy to use sheep, which is suitable for people to call it "I love". " Said: "

There is no injury, this is the art of benevolence, seeing the cow but not the sheep. A gentleman is like an animal: when he sees it alive, he cannot bear to see it die; when he hears its sound, he cannot bear to eat its flesh. Therefore, a gentleman cooks at a distance. "

Wang said: "The poem goes: 'If others have intentions, let me think about them. ’ That’s what Master means. Husband, I do it, but I seek it, and it doesn’t get my heart. Master said, I feel very close to you. Why is this heart aligned with the king? "Said: "There is a person who comes back to the king and says: 'My strength is enough to lift a hundred jun', but not enough to lift a feather; 'I am strong enough to detect the end of a feather', but if I don't see the weight of the feather, how can the king agree with it? Said: "No." "Now the kindness is as great as that of the beasts, but the merit is not brought to the common people. How can I do it?" However, if a feather is not raised, it is a lack of effort; if the public support is not seen, it is a lack of understanding; if the people do not see protection, it is a lack of kindness. Therefore, if a king is not a king, he does not do it, not because he cannot do it.

Said: "Why are the shapes of those who do not do anything different from those who cannot do it?" " He said: "Take Mount Tai to cross the North Sea, and say to people, "I can't." This is because you can't do it sincerely. To break a branch for an elder and say to him, "I can't", is not to do, but not to be impossible. Therefore, to be a king without being a king is not to take advantage of Mount Tai to reach the North Sea; to be a king without being a king is to break a branch. When I am old, I am in harmony with others; when I am young, I am in harmony with others. The world can be transported in the palm of your hand. The poem goes: "The punishment is for the widow, and for the brothers, it is to control the family and the country." ’ It’s just a matter of adding this intention to others. Therefore, if you extend your kindness, you can protect the world, but if you don't extend your kindness, you cannot protect your wife. The reason why people in ancient times were superior to others was because they were good at judging their actions. Today's kindness is as great as that of the beasts, but if the merits do not reach the common people, how can they be given? Quan, then you know the severity; degree, then you know the length. Everything is the same, but the mind is the same. The king please save him! Suppress the king and raise the army, endanger the soldiers and ministers, complain to the princes, and then do it faster than the heart? The king said: "No." Why am I so quick? I will seek my great desires. ”

Said: “Can the king’s great desire be heard and fulfilled? The king laughed and said nothing. He said, "Isn't it so fat and sweet that it's not enough for you?" Light warmth is not enough for the body? Or is it because the color selection is not enough for the eyes? The sound is not enough for your ears? Isn't it enough that I can order you to come forward? All the king's ministers are enough to provide for him, but why should the king do so? Said: "No." I don't think so. Said: "Then the king's great desire can be known." In order to expand the land, he went to Qin and Chu, and came to China to appease the barbarians. Doing what you want and asking for what you want is like asking for a fish based on a tree. Said: "What if it is really a gift?" "It's almost impossible," he said. If you seek fish from a tree, even if you don't get it, there will be no disaster. If you do what you want, seek what you want, and do it with all your heart, there will be disaster later. Said: "Can I hear it?" He said, "When the Tsou people fight with the Chu people, who does the king think will win?" Said: "The people of Chu are victorious." Said: "However, a small solid cannot defeat a large one, a small solid cannot defeat a large number, and a weak solid cannot defeat a strong one." There are nine places within the sea that are thousands of miles apart, and there is one of them. With one serving eight, why is it different from Zou fighting against Chu? Gai is also contrary to his nature. Today, the king is promoting benevolence, so that all officials in the world want to establish themselves in the king's dynasty, all farmers want to cultivate in the king's fields, all merchants want to hide in the king's city, all travelers want to come out of the king's territory, and all the people in the world want to harm the king. Everyone wants to go to the king. If so, who can control it? "

The king said: "I am afraid that I cannot advance. May Master support my ambition and teach me clearly. Although I am not sensitive, please try it. Said: "Those who do not have permanent property but have perseverance are the only ones who can do it." If you are a people, you will have no permanent property because you have no perseverance. If you have no perseverance, you will be unrestrained, evil and extravagant, you will do everything for your own sake. To fall into a crime and then punish him is to neglect the people. How can a benevolent person be in office and ignore the people? Therefore, when a wise ruler controls the people's property, they will have enough to serve their parents, enough to feed their wives, and they will have enough to eat in happy years and avoid death in bad years. Then the good will be driven out, so the people will follow it easily. Nowadays, the property of the people is controlled. If you look up to your parents, you will not be able to serve your parents, and if you bow down to you, you will not be able to support your wife. In good years, you will suffer hardships for the rest of your life, and in bad years, you will not be immune to death. This is just to save lives, but I am afraid that I will not support you. Is it a shame to treat etiquette and justice in your spare time? If the king wants to do it, he will go against his will. A five-acre house with mulberry trees can be used to clothe the fifty-year-old; chickens, dolphins, dogs, and pigs will not be lost in their time, and the seventy-year-old can eat meat; a hundred acres of land should not be taken away from the eight. There can be no hunger in the family; if you follow the teachings of Xiangxu and show the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood, those who are awarded white will live up to the road. The old man wears silk and eats meat, and the people are neither hungry nor cold. However, there is no such thing as a king.
