Mencius said: "How can I be a real man? Has my son not learned the etiquette? The husband's crown is ordered by his father; the woman's marriage is ordered by her mother. Go to the gate where she is given away, and warn her: 'When you go to your daughter's house, you must respect her and do not disobey the master!' To be righteous is to be a concubine. To live in the world, to establish the right position in the world, to follow the path of the world; to achieve the goal, and to be with the people. "If you don't have ambitions, you can't live in your own way. You can't be slutty with wealth, you can't be moved by poverty, and you can't bend with force. This is what a man is called." - "Mencius: Duke Wen of Teng" written by the Warring States poet Meng Ke

Translated by Wen Jing. Chun said: "Aren't Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi real men with ambition and deeds? When they get angry, the princes will be afraid. If they stay at home, the world will be peaceful."

Mencius said: " How can this be considered a man with ambition? Haven't you learned the etiquette? When a man performs the crowning ceremony, his father teaches him; when a woman gets married, her mother teaches her, sends her to the door, and warns her: "When she comes to your house, she must be there." Be respectful, be careful, and don't disobey your husband! "Being obedient is the right principle for women. (Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi behave like women in front of the princes!) They live in the most spacious residence in the world." Here, stand on the most correct position in the world, "Li", and walk on the broadest road in the world, "Yi"; when you can realize your ideals, you will walk on this right path with the people; when you cannot realize your ideals, you will walk alone. On this righteous path, wealth cannot confuse his thoughts, poverty cannot change his conduct, and power cannot subdue his will. This is called a man with ambition and achievements."

These are the three criteria for becoming a man proposed by Mencius. Among the three major standards, "wealth and wealth cannot lead to adultery" are particularly respected by the world.

Jing Chun said: "Aren't Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi not honest men? They were angry. But the princes are afraid, and the world is in ruins."

Mencius said: "How can I be a man? Is it true that a son has not learned etiquette?

Wealth cannot confuse his thoughts, poverty and lowliness cannot shake his integrity, and power cannot bend his will. Such a person can be called a real man. ”

Extended information:

“Wealth cannot be licentious” comes from “Mencius·Tengwengongxia” written by Mencius during the Warring States Period.

Creative background:

< p> "Mencius" was written around the middle of the Warring States Period. The content is mainly a work describing Mencius' thoughts, recording Mencius's debates with other schools of thought, his words and deeds to his disciples, lobbying the princes, etc. It was written by Mencius and his disciples (Wan Zhang, etc.) ) *** compiled together.

Appreciation:

"Mencius" records Mencius's thoughts on governing the country and political strategies (benevolent government, the distinction between kings and hegemons, people-centeredness, and respect for the king). If the heart is wrong, the people are noble, the country is inferior to the king, and political action is a classic work of Confucianism. The starting point of its theory is the theory of human nature, which advocates the rule of virtue. 》Together they are called the "Four Books" 5.

Yanzi entered the palace to pay homage to Jinggong. After standing for a while, Jinggong said, "How strange! It snowed heavily for three days and the weather was not cold at all. Yanzi replied: "Isn't it really cold?" "Yanzi smiled.

Jinggong said: "I heard that the virtuous kings in ancient times knew when someone was hungry when they were full, when they were warmly dressed, they knew when someone was cold, and when they were comfortable, they could tell that someone was hungry. Know that someone is working hard. Now the king does not know the sufferings of the people! Jinggong said, "That's right!" I have followed your teachings. "

So he ordered that clothing and food be taken out and distributed to the hungry and cold people. He ordered that anyone who saw someone who was hungry or cold on the road, regardless of which village he was from, if he saw someone who was hungry or cold in his hometown, No matter which family they belong to, they will go around the country to collect statistics and distribute their names.

Those who have been in office will be given two months of relief food, and those who are sick will be given two years of relief food. Confucius heard this. Later he said: "Yan Zi can understand what he should do, and Jinggong can do what he likes to do. 6. Classical Chinese Translation

Some young people in the Huaiyin Massacre insulted Belief and said, "If you grow up and like to carry a sword, you will be timid." The people insulted Belief by saying, "Belief can kill me and stab me; You can't die, come out from under my hakama." So whoever believed it looked at it and came out from under my hakama, and everyone in Pufu laughed at it and thought it was cowardly.

When the letter came to the country,... he summoned the young man who humiliated himself and ordered the one who exposed his crotch to be Lieutenant Chu. He told the generals: "This is a strong man. When someone insults me, I would rather not kill him? Killing him has no name, so he endures it and does it here."

A young butcher in Huaiyin City insulted Han Xin said: "Although you are tall and like to wear swords, you are actually a timid person inside!" Everyone humiliated Han Xin and said: "You are really not afraid of death, so you stab me to death; if you are not afraid of death, you crawl out from under my crotch." "At that time, Han Xin looked at it seriously for a long time, then he lay prone on the ground and crawled under the man's crotch, and then lay on the ground. People around him laughed at Han Xin and thought he was timid.

(Queen of Chu) Han Xin returned to Huaiyin,... summoned the young man who had insulted him by letting him pass through his crotch, and made him the lieutenant of the Chu Kingdom. Han Xin said to the civil and military generals: "This man is a strong man. When he insulted me in the past, why didn't I kill him? Because I couldn't be famous even if I killed him, so I endured the humiliation and that's why I am today."

Explanation: According to the ancient proverb, pornography should be interpreted as "excessive", that is, wealth and power cannot make one's speech and behavior excessive and go beyond common sense. Another interpretation is "confusion", which means not being deceived by wealth and power, knowing the way and doing the right thing; if "excessive" is interpreted as "***" or "debauchery", it is a business of modern people, strictly speaking, it deviates from the original meaning.

Original text: Jing Chun said: "Aren't Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi not honest men? When they are angry, the princes are afraid, and they live in peace and the world is destroyed." Mencius said: "How can you be a man? Zi has not learned. Is it a courtesy? When a husband is given a crown, his father orders it; when a woman is married, she is ordered by her mother. She goes to the house of her husband and warns her: "You must respect your daughter's family and do not disobey your master." This is the way of a concubine.

To live in the world, to establish the right position in the world, to follow the path of the world; to follow the path of the people if not to achieve the goal.

Wealth cannot be lascivious, poverty cannot be moved, power cannot be subdued, this is called a true man." Mencius's method is to put forward the true way of a true man.

This is his famous saying that has been passed down through the ages: "Wealth cannot be lustful, poverty cannot be moved, power cannot be surrendered." How to do it? Then you have to "live in the broadest place in the world, establish the right position in the world, and walk the great road of the world."
