Your virtue and blessings should match your social status and the treatment you enjoy. If a person violates the laws of nature, he will be punished. This is the so-called "reaction".

From:

Zhouyi under copula.

Original sentence:

If virtue is not in place, there will be disaster; Virtue is thin and respectful, wisdom is small and ambition is big, and strength is small and heavy, which is rare.

Translation:

If virtue does not match position, there will be disaster. Bad virtue and noble status, shallow intelligence and great strategy, weak strength and heavy burden are all bad.

Extended data

Confucius divided "if morality is not in place, there will be disaster" into three parts:

A, DE thin honour:

In other words, a person's moral character and character are not directly proportional to his leadership position. For example, a person's moral and character standards are very low and he has done bad things.

Because of his low "virtue and quality", disaster came immediately.

Second, see the big from the small:

Refers to a person who has little ideological wisdom, but too big a plan, which does not match his personal ability, resulting in serious losses;

If someone drives a chariot or a plane without any training, it is conceivable that disaster will follow; For another example, if a person has no experience, he will operate on the patient immediately, which is also "Xiao Zhi's great ambition" to ensure the arrival of disaster.

Third, the force is small and heavy:

Everyone knows what this sentence means. A person's strength can't reach his load, light will hurt the body, and heavy will die.
