Four-word idioms related to Mencius are
Mencius said: "If you are senior, you should take the left and right to meet its original (homology), so a gentleman wants to be complacent." This was originally a good word, meaning that people have accumulated deep knowledge, gained the Tao, lived a peaceful life, and with a certain concentration, they can be everywhere, invincible and invincible. Making ends meet means being handy, from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom. The problem is that when the famous saying of his old man's house became an idiom and was talked about by hundreds of millions of people, the word "please both sides, be exquisite in all directions, be cunning and fickle" gave birth to a derogatory meaning. Is it because ordinary people see a lot of two-faced people in society, but there are too few great talents and university experts? Generally speaking, people tend to slide to empiricism, and saints tend to become dogmatism. What's more, it is really difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference between knowledgeable, big, profound and deep, and sophisticated or even glib. Profound knowledge is often difficult to distinguish from being divorced from reality and the masses. Learning and putting on airs are inseparable, and thoughtfulness and comprehensiveness are inseparable from public relations. There is also the difference between climbing high and looking far and deceiving the world with big words. One of the characteristics of empiricism is that people are judged by people, gentlemen by villains and masters by sages. A lot of good words turned into unsolicited suggestions, and a lot of praise turned into ridicule. It's not a bad experience for both sides. Both "shock" and "death" are profound, brilliant and invincible spiritual internal strength and spiritual realm in Zhuangzi. When it comes to the people, we can only hope that literature will set the record straight, and treat these statements as stupid and stupid. I don't know if this is a law of communication. Communication will change, popularization will inevitably degenerate, and popularity will often be vulgar. It may be superficial to make unremitting efforts from the will of the public.
