Xunzi has a work
Xunzi (365438 BC+03 BC-238 BC) is famous all over the world, and he is called "Qing". Because "Xun" and "Sun" have the same ancient sound, it is also called "Xun". During the Warring States period, Zhao Guoren, one of the famous thinkers, educators and representatives of Confucianism, developed Confucianism and advocated the theory of evil nature, which was often compared with Mencius' theory of good nature. It has also made considerable contributions to the collation of Confucian classics.
Original text:
Confucius' views on Lv Henggong Temple are very complicated. Confucius asked the temple, "What kind of vessel is this?" The temple keeper said, "This lid is for sitting." Confucius said, "I heard that those who sit on the vessel are weak, those who are moderate are upright, and those who are full are covered." Confucius said to his disciples, "How to inject water?" Disciples waded through the water and made notes, which were moderate and positive, full and covered, empty and sad. Confucius sighed: "Hey! Those who are full of evil and don't answer! " Lutz said, "Do you dare to ask if there is any way to hold the Manchu?" Confucius said, "Be wise if you want to be wise, and keep your stupidity; Work is the world, keep it; Help the world bravely and keep it with fear; Rich all over the world, remain modest. This so-called way to lose is also. "
Translation:
Confucius visited a temple in Lu Huangong and saw an inclined and easy-to-repeat instrument. Confucius asked the temple, "What kind of musical instrument is this?" The temple keeper replied, "This is a tool for forgivers." Confucius said, "It is said that the seat to be pardoned is inclined when it is empty, standing when it is half full and inclined when it is full." Confucius turned to the students and said, "Fill it with water." His students filled it with water, and when they poured it half, it stood upright. When it was full of water, it fell down, and when it was empty, it tilted again. Confucius said with emotion, "Alas, how can it be full without falling down?" Lutz said, "Is there a full road?" Confucius said: "Smart and wise people use stupid methods; If the credit is greater than the world, we will use the method of concession; Those who shock the world with courage use timid methods; If you are rich all over the world, you will use humility. This is the so-called constantly filled and lost road.
