Original text

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are careful, there will be no disciples. Jin Yu hides her flaws, but Chuan Ze accepts her dirt.

The government is scrupulous and the people are deficient. Lao Tzu’s words can be imitated.

Harsh government and no kindness, trouble and hurt kindness, even though he made contemptuous remarks, Xue Xuan was the best.

Weighing firewood and boiling it, measuring several meters for cooking, breaking muscles and breaking bones. If you use it like this, your relatives will rebel against you.

The gentlemen of ancient times sought to have no faults among the faults, so there was no resentment in the world; the gentlemen of today seek to have faults among the no faults, leaving the people at a loss. Hey, I can't bear it!

Translation

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish..., and if a person is too serious, he will not have friends. Beautiful jade may contain flaws... and rivers may also contain dirt.

If the government is too harsh..., the people will be cunning. This famous saying of Lao Tzu... can be used as a rule for governing a country

.

Harsh politics will cause disharmony between the rulers and the ruled. If politics are too harsh and trivial, they will lose the support of the people.

Although Xue Xuan used vulgar language to persuade the emperor..., he had the auspiciousness of a minister.

Weighing firewood to light the fire..., counting rice grains to cook..., and using such a fussy attitude to receive people and treat things...

The congregation will inevitably betray their relatives and alienate them.

The gentlemen of ancient times... tried to find something that was not wrong in the faults of others..., so... people in the world

had no resentment. But today's so-called gentlemen are just the opposite. They like to find shortcomings in people who have no mistakes. They like to find faults in people who have no mistakes. They are picky and make the world at a loss. Alas...! There is no pure gold... and no one is perfect.

People. How can we not resist being critical...?

Learn and apply...: There are no fish in the clear water, and there are no disciples in the human spirit

Being a human being should be measured by moral standards. You should restrain yourself, restrain your words and deeds, and treat others

You must be like a boatman who welcomes passengers to board the boat. Only by being strict with yourself and lenient with others can you achieve great things. If once you discover that someone else has a slight fault, you will hold on to it. You will not be able to see the strengths and advantages of others. In the end, you will only be able to put yourself in an isolated situation.

No one is a sage..., who can have no fault...? When getting along with others, don't always blame or demand others.

When asking others to do something, you should first ask yourself whether you can do it. Check and restrain

your own behavior from time to time. Only by being strict with oneself and being lenient to others can we unite those who can be united and do a good job together.

Blindly demanding and blaming others will only make things worse.

A lady went to a banquet, and the host invited a young female musician to play the piano to entertain the guests. After the performance, the host asked Mrs. So if the music was played well. Mrs. So replied: "The music was played well. But, dear, you didn't see how disgraceful the clothes she was wearing were. Yeah!"
