Original Jun [Qing] Huang Zongxi (1) At the beginning of life, everyone was selfish and each had its own advantages; There is a public interest in the world, but it is not advocated and there is a public hazard. Some people go out, not for their own interests, but for the interests of the world; Don't hurt yourself, but let the world release the harm; This man must have worked harder than anyone else in the world. A husband who works thousands of times but doesn't enjoy the benefits will not be what the world wants to live. Therefore, the ancient monarch is unwilling to enter (2); In and out, Yao and Shun also; Yu is also a person who didn't want to go in at first and couldn't go. Are ancient people different? It is also the wife's feeling to love leisure and hate work. (1) Huang Zongxi (16 10- 1695), whose real name is Tai Chong, was called Mr. Li Zhou by scholars; He also built a memorial hall in Nanlei, also known as Mr. Nanlei. Yuyao, Zhejiang. He was a famous scholar and thinker in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. His father Huang Zunsu was an important figure in the party in the late Ming Dynasty. He was killed for taking part in the struggle against eunuch Wei Zhongxian. His important works include A Case Study of Song and Yuan Dynasties, A Case Study of Confucianism in Ming Dynasty, A Record of Ming People Waiting to Be Visited, Nan Lei Wen Ding and so on. (2) Xu You and Guangwu: the legendary Gao Shi. Tang Yao listened to Xu You's words and thought it was an insult to himself, so he lived in seclusion in Ji Mountain. Shang Tang died in the service light, and the service light threw the stone into the water and died. Since the beginning of human society, people are selfish. No one set up what is beneficial to the public in society, and no one removed what is harmful to the public. There is such a person who does not take his own interests as interests, but let the whole world get his interests; Don't treat your own disaster as a disaster, let the whole world avoid his disaster. That man's efforts must be ten million times that of the whole world. It is certainly not the wish of ordinary people in the world to spend thousands of times of effort but not enjoy the benefits. So ancient monarchs,
2. Since the beginning of human society, people are selfish.
No one set up what is beneficial to the public in society, and no one removed what is harmful to the public. There is such a person who does not take his own interests as interests, but let the whole world get his interests; Don't treat your own disaster as a disaster, let the whole world avoid his disaster.
That man's efforts must be ten million times that of the whole world. It is certainly not the wish of ordinary people in the world to spend thousands of times of effort but not enjoy the benefits.
Therefore, it is Xu You, Guangwu and other countries that are unwilling to be in place after consideration. Yao, Shun and others are in place, but out of place; It was Dayu who didn't want to be in place at first, but finally failed to leave. Is there a difference between ancient people? I like ease and hate work, just like ordinary people.
That's not how future generations become kings. They think that all the interests and power in the world come from themselves. I attribute all the interests in the world to myself and all the evils in the world to others. There is nothing wrong.
Let people in the world dare not be selfish, dare not be selfish, and regard their own self-interest as the public interest of the world. At first, I was ashamed of it, but after a long time, I felt at ease. I regarded the world as 7A64E59B9EE7AD 943133335303464, and passed it on to my descendants, enjoying it endlessly.
As Emperor Gaozu said, "Who has achieved more in my industry than my second brother?" His pursuit of interests has been unconsciously revealed in his words. There is no other reason for this. In ancient times, the world was the mainstay and the monarch was the guest. Everything the monarch manages is for the whole world.
Now we are king-oriented, and the world is our guest. For the monarch, there is no place in the world where peace can be achieved. So when he couldn't get the world, he made people everywhere and scattered them all over the world to increase his industry. He also said, "I started a business for my children."
He won the world, blackmailed everyone's bone marrow, scattered their children to worship their own dissolute pleasures, and took it for granted that "these are the interests of my industry." In this case, as the biggest scourge in the world, it is only the monarch! At the beginning, if there was no monarch, people could get their own things and people could get their own interests.
Alas! Is this the reason for establishing a monarch? In ancient times, people loved their monarch, and it is not too much to compare him to his father. Nowadays, everyone in the world hates their monarch, regards him as an enemy and calls him a "single husband", which he deserves.
However, the small Confucianism believes that the relationship between monarch and minister exists between heaven and earth and is difficult to escape. Even as cruel as Xia Jie and Yin Zhou, he even said that Shang Tang and Zhou Wuwang should not kill them, but fabricated something that spread to Boyi and Shu Qi, and regarded the deaths of thousands of ordinary people in Qian Qian as no different from the deaths of mice. Is it true that the world is so big, but among the tens of millions of people in Qian Qian, only one monarch is preferred? So Zhou Wuwang is a saint, and Mencius' words are saints' words.
Later monarchs who wanted to use his empty name to forbid others to peek at the throne like the father god felt that Mencius' words were not good for them until he abolished Mencius' position of offering sacrifices to Confucius. Isn't this from Confucianism? Even so, if future generations become monarchs, they can really keep this industry and pass it on forever, and they don't blame him for taking the world as private. Since it is regarded as an industry, others also want to get the idea of an industry. Who doesn't like themselves? So tie it with a rope and reinforce it with a lock, but a person's wisdom and strength can't beat many people who want it in the world.
Although there are only a few generations apart, the closest relatives are themselves, and the collapse of their flesh and blood should be on their children and grandchildren. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, Shun Emperor made a wish that future generations would not be reincarnated in the royal family. What Ming said to the princess was "Why did you have to be born in my house!" What a pity! Looking back on the ambition of our ancestors to occupy the world when they started their business, how can we not be depressed? Therefore, if you understand the responsibility as a monarch, then in the era of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, everyone can give up the throne, and Xu You and Guangwu are not extraordinary people; If you don't know the responsibility of being a king, then even among ordinary people, everyone wants to get the throne, and Xu You and Guangwu will disappear from future generations and will not be heard.
Although it is difficult to understand the monarch's position, it is not worth exchanging endless sorrow for a moment of debauchery, even the most stupid person can understand this truth.
3. Respect for honesty, discipline, law and honesty (1) Introduction History has proved that when honesty prevails, the country will prosper; When corruption is rampant, the country will decline.
Honest officials have always been praised; Corrupt officials are reviled. We should vigorously carry forward the traditional virtues of honesty and integrity inherent in the Chinese nation and advocate the spirit of honesty, self-discipline, selflessness, selfishness and innocence.
(II) Facts and Arguments When sheep continued to hang fish in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang was the sheep satrap. He hated the corruption and extravagance of bureaucrats at that time. He is modest and simple, usually wearing shabby clothes, covered with patched quilts and riding in shabby carriages.
The tableware is coarse pottery, and you eat coarse tea and light rice. His subordinate Jian is also very decent and has a good relationship with Yang Jian. He thinks his superiors are too poor. He heard that Yang Xu likes to eat raw fish, so he bought a fish for Yang Xu.
Jiao Jian, fearing that sheep would continue to be rejected, said with a smile, "My Lord hasn't been to Nanyang for a long time, so I may not know that this is the famous' March Carp' here, so I bought one for you. Usually you treat me like a brother, so this fish is just a little respect from my younger brother to my older brother. You know, I am by no means a flatterer, so please accept it! " When the sheep continued to see Jiao Jian say this, he felt that he was an outsider and said with a smile, "In that case, it is better to be respectful than obedient." After Jiao Jian left, Yang Xu hung the fish outside and never touched it again.
In March of the following year, Jiao Jian bought another carp, thinking that it would be enough to send one a year, knowing that if he bought too many sheep, he would not want it. To Yang Xuyan Palace, Jiao Jiangang explained his purpose.
Yang Xu pointed to the sun-dried "March carp" and said, "What you sent last year is still here!" Jiao Jian froze, shook his head, sighed and left with live fish. Bao Zheng's "Honest Family Instructions" was well known to women and children in Bao Zheng in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the people called it "Bao Qingtian".
Bao Zheng lived in a high position all his life, being honest and selfless, and hated corrupt officials. In his later years, he was worried about the corruption of future generations, so he set up a stone tablet at home, engraved with the famous "Family Training and Integrity" to warn future generations. It means something like this: "All the descendants of the Bao family who embezzle and accept bribes cannot be called descendants of the Bao family, and even cannot be buried in their family's cemetery after death.
Those who don't follow this instruction are not descendants of Bao Gong. "Ma Yinchu refused to bribe Ma Yinchu, a famous modern economist and social activist in China, and liberated the former Zhejiang Finance Director.
One day, a man who wanted to be a county magistrate in Deqing County entrusted Ma Yinchu with 1,000 yuan and asked Ma Yinchu to open the back door and let him be a county magistrate. Ma Yinchu flew into a rage and scolded, "Shameless thing, this kind of person can hit his joints with money today. If he really becomes a county magistrate, he must be a corrupt official.
With this one, he can't be a county magistrate. Immediately ordered the money back.
Premier Zhou Enlai's clothes and Premier Zhou's pajamas have been worn for more than 20 years. Mended and mended, it has been worn to the ground, and I am reluctant to throw it away. A shirt is old enough to change the cuff collar, and a dress has been patched in different colors. He wears it. When someone asked him to change it, he always said, "The old one can be worn."
(3) Theoretical argument: Honest people are always happy without asking for anything in return, while greedy people are often worried about their own shortcomings. Song Sima Guang's Supplementary Biography of Wenzhong is honest and clean.
Liu Tang Zongyuan's Tomb Notes of Duan Hong, Chu Shi: Only honest people can keep appointments with their lovers, while greedy people will be thin and fat. The quality of Biography of Officials in Ming Dynasty is clean and neat, which is better than being trapped in a ditch.
Cao Qingxueqin's Dream of Red Mansions is rich in meaning, but changeable in meaning, which can be described as cheap. Lu Chunqiu Zhonglian looks like an official, but it looks like an incorruptible one.
Qi Diao Collected Confucius: Corruption and waste are great sins. * * * Dignity is not enough to change your position, and usury is not enough to change your mind.
"Warring States Policy Zhao Ce II" is happy if you are satisfied, and you are worried if you are greedy. Song Linbu's Worry-Free Record shows that people are not greedy and ghosts are not afraid.
China proverb would rather have no money than hurt honesty. China proverb: Fish is bait to swallow a hook, and birds catch chaff.
China proverb: If you are not satisfied, when are you greedy? Tang Bai Juyi's "Book Meaning in the Early Autumn of Leaves" is faithful and honest, which is actually the foundation, not the name of fishing. Song Linbu would rather be mud in clear water than flying dust on muddy roads.
Nine Songs by Cao Zhi in Three Kingdoms This town is full of precious stones, so be careful not to be tired of poverty. Huang Ming Zunsu's Essays on Zhou Xia Nothing in the world is more difficult to suppress than the cursed greed of mankind.
[Ancient Greece] Homer's Odysseus A greedy man will never do anything until he dies. Wilson t On usury The greedy man tried to get everything, but lost everything.
[krylov] The greedy man and the hen will not be satisfied even if they put the whole world in front of the greedy man. [Persia] Sadie's Rose Garden Greed is the root of all evil.
English proverb: Too much stuffing in your mouth often makes you suffocate. Italian proverb costs nothing, and greedy people drink poison.
Korean proverbs often stand by the river, as long as you don't wet your shoes. China proverb: Don't be greedy for money, don't suffer.
There is a saying in China that the wind will not disperse, so as not to talk too long. Yu Ming Qian's "Going to Beijing" is sincere, and the people's table is also; Greedy people are thieves of the people.
Song Bao Zheng's Begging for No Corrupt Officials: A wise man doesn't do what he wants, but an honest man doesn't ask for what he has. "Biography of Korean Poetry" can be observed by itself, but what about the people who suffer from it? Qu Yuan's "The Fisherman of the Warring States" steals spring water and is thirsty, but the heat is inexhaustible.
Jin's Roaring Tiger is clear when it is turbid, and cheap when it is cheap. It should be noted in Liu Tang Zongyuan's Yongzhou Wei Shijun Tang Xin Ji that under the bait, the hook is touched.

4. Who is "Huang Zongxi"? Huang Zongxi is a native of Yuyao (now Zhejiang Province).
His father was Huang Zunsu, the imperial adviser of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Zunsu, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou belong to Lindong School. They were killed in the Royal Guards Prison for impeaching the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and they were recorded in the Ming history.
After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Huang Zongxi went to Beijing to redress grievances, but when he arrived in Beijing, Wei Zhongxian's party had been overthrown and killed, so he asked Cao to kill Wei Zhongxian's colleagues and. When eunuchs Xu Xianchun and Cui Yingyuan were interrogated, he confronted them. Tang took an iron cone out of his sleeve, stabbed him all over, and hit Cui Yingyuan. He pulled out his beard in memory of his father's funeral. He also captured Ye Zi and Yan Wenzhong and killed his father Huang Zunsu.
At that time, Cao had been involved in the traitor case in Wei Zhongxian, arguing that he didn't write the original report falsely accusing party member, and secretly sent Huang Zongxi 3,200 pieces of silver to stop him. Huang Zongxi immediately went to the imperial court and said, "Shi Li still dares to pay bribes openly today. His excuses must not be believed!" When questioned, he stabbed Shi Li with a cone.
After the case ended, Huang Zongxi took the children of his enemies to sacrifice to the deceased in front of the prison, which shocked the ruling and opposition parties. Emperor Chongzhen sighed after listening: "Being a loyal minister and an orphan is really heartbreaking!" After returning to his hometown, Huang Zongxi studied harder. He hated the disadvantages of the imperial examination in imprisoning talents and always wanted to change it.
In this way, he finished reading all the books at home, went to the southern Lou Niu surname, Lian Sheng Tang Qi surname, Tang Huang surname and Jiang Yun Lou Qian surname to copy books, set up a banknote renewal museum in Nanlei, undertook Dongfatang, and inherited Mr. Dongfatang's legacy. Liu of Shanyin County was studying and giving lectures in Lushan Mountain, and Huang Zongxi was in contact with him according to his father's legacy.
At that time, Vietnamese and China scholars inherited the knowledge of Haimen Zhou, introduced Confucianism into Buddhism, and destroyed Yao's theory. Huang Zongxi joined forces with more than 60 other people to strongly oppose their theory.
Therefore, although Liu's disciples all attached importance to fame and virtue, their contributions to resisting Qing Dynasty were not as good as Huang Zongxi's. Huang Zongxi's younger brothers Zong Yan and Hui Zong are very clever. He personally educated them and was known as "Three Yellow Rivers in East Zhejiang".
After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Zongxi participated in the anti-Qing struggle of the Southern Dynasties regime. After his failure, he began to live in seclusion in the countryside and concentrate on his studies. In the 17th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (AD 1678), some learned scholars began to be summoned by the imperial court.
Ye Fan, a bachelor of imperial academy, wrote a poem to Huang Zongxi, which meant that he would immediately serve the imperial court, but he refused. Not long after, the imperial edict was granted, and Xu, a bachelor of management college, supervised the revision of Ming History and asked him to be a consultant. The governor of Zhejiang and the governor personally came to hire him, but he declined again.
The courtiers knew that he would insist on resigning, so they asked the emperor to order the governor of Zhejiang to send someone to copy the part of his book about the history of the Ming Dynasty and send it to the capital. Although Huang Zongxi didn't want to be loyal to the Qing court, he didn't restrict his descendants. His son Huang Baijia was involved in compiling history.
One day, Xu was on duty in the cabinet and talked with Kangxi about the problem of staying old in the late Ming Dynasty. He also quoted Huang Zongxi as saying: "My brother khaw boon wan once recommended him to go to college, but unfortunately he is too old to be an official." Kangxi said, "You can call him to Beijing. I don't want him to do anything.
If you are not used to leaving after coming to Beijing, send officials back. "Said he was too old to come, Kangxi was very sigh with emotion, think talent is rare.
Although Huang Zongxi didn't go to Beijing to study history, civil servants would consult him on some major issues when studying Ming history. The chronicle of Ming History was written by Wu Renchen, and the president of Ming History wrote to him from thousands of miles away, saying that he was afraid to finalize it without trial.
Some people think that setting up a biography of Taoism in the History of Song Dynasty is a mistake made by the compilers of Yuan history and should be corrected when compiling the History of Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Yizun said this, he showed Huang Zongxi's letter to everyone, and the passage of Taoist biography was finally deleted from Ming History.
Huang Zongxi died at the age of 86. Huang Zongxi also inherited Liu's style of study.
Prudence is rigorous and practical. He once said that scholars in the Ming Dynasty always copied only a few words in their lectures, but they shelved the Six Classics and made it unrealistic.
Therefore, if you want to learn, you must first read the classics, and the purpose of reading the classics is to put them into practice. If you don't like Mr pedantic, you must read history books at the same time.
If you read less history books, you won't know why things change. Although you have read a lot, don't use your head. It's just a common question. Therefore, we should read more books about schools of thought, heavenly officials and local chronicles, think hard and gain something.
Huang Zongxi's academic works include six volumes of Yi Xiang Xue Shu Lun, one volume of essays on giving books, two volumes of Lv Lu Xin Yi and two volumes of Mencius Shi Shuo. The anthology includes Nan Dian and Shi An, and there are eleven volumes of Nan Ding and four volumes of Wen Yue. He also wrote 62 volumes of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty, describing in great detail the schools of scholars' lectures in the Ming Dynasty and their gains and losses. There are 482 volumes of Ming Wen Hai, which are included in the Collected Works of More than 2,000 Ming People. It is claimed that the book has inherited the History of Ten Dynasties, the Examination of Deep Clothes, the Classic of Water, the Records of Siming Mountain and the History of Ming Dynasty.
Gu commented that the Xia, Shang and Zhou politics in Huang Shu can be restored. In astronomy, Huang Zongxi has four volumes, namely, Distinguishing the Great Unity, Explaining the Immortal Calligraphy, Interpreting the Circle, Interpreting the Eight Lines of the Circle, Hypothetical Timing, Hypothetical Western Method and Hypothetical Wisdom Method.
Later, Mei Wending talked about astronomy according to Zhou Xie's statement, which surprised the world and thought the mystery could not be explained. People don't know that Huang Zongxi has done this research. The Major Cases of Song and Yuan Dynasties, edited in his later years, together with the Major Cases of Confucianism in Ming Dynasty, is a book devoted to the study of China's 700-year-old Confucianism portal.
5. The incorruptible poems of the original Bodhisattva Man's literary theory: We should keep in mind the dual benefits of cultivating and developing.
To overcome difficulties, both farmers and enterprises should be tough. Patriotism and discipline make two sleeves famous.
Write an inch of land and you have the right not to be greedy. Is "the human heart is a mirror" greedy or bright? Public opinion is a yardstick.
Ugly or beautiful? Word of mouth verification. Right and wrong, heaven and earth are distinct.
Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and people's hearts are like mirrors. "Alert" warns that education is shocking and a lesson from the past.
In those days, he valued beauty and was once greedy for rolling in the deep. Status is a double-edged sword, persist in transforming the world outlook.
What is the most honest and self-disciplined? Power, money and beauty. Lian is a cypress tree. As time goes by, she is always evergreen.
Even bamboo is tenacious despite the wind and rain. Lotus is a bunch of plums, proud of frost and snow, but still strong.
Honesty is a quality. "Don't praise it for its good color, just make it full of enthusiasm." Integrity is a realm, "a famous person is strong and cannot be selfish."
Honesty is an official virtue. "If you are not invaded by dust, you will be satisfied." "Bridge Lights" The lights on the bridge are guarding the bridge, constantly illuminating the bridge, illuminating the water under the bridge, making the bridge take the water as a mirror, and paying attention to the image of day and night service. "Officialdom is human." People's hearts can't be bullied, and law and discipline can't be violated.
Good and evil are known from heaven to earth, and conscience cannot be ignored. It is proper to serve the country, and the people should remember their sufferings.
When you are a willing cow, officialdom is an upright person. "Shen Du" is rewarded with evil and rewarded with good.
Know what is right and wrong, and reflect on it every day. Clean and respectful, the people can't stand it.
Don't be greedy, be honest and clear. "Being an official at eight o'clock" is a bit indifferent to fame and fortune, and the people suffer.
Political achievements should be diluted, and future generations should keep more. Be indifferent to money and pay attention to law and order.
Make friends quietly and learn more about history. There are allusions in The History of Innocence, which vividly describe the good and the bad.
The officialdom is obsessed with things and regrets chasing the ages. Don't covet fame and fortune.
Innocent children, diligent children. Entrust in front of the door is greed and ignorance of money.
Turn a blind eye, extramarital affairs. Don't be greedy, wine and meat feast.
Do not listen, flatter. Don't pull out your hand and abuse your rights.
Get your feet out of the casino. If you are in trouble, you will break the law.
Don't violate discipline and keep clean. "Self-singing" is not greedy, gambling or fun, calm and simple.
Do not violate the law and discipline, be diligent and conscientious. Not for the official, not for the money, for the people's wishes.
For the benefit of the people, public servants are responsible, and there is no regret in this life. Greed and fear are floods in the dam, and once the dam breaks, it is difficult to recover it.
Greed is a beast in a cage. When it is opened, it will swallow people. Nothing hurts more than indulging one's desires and drowning one's black conscience.
There is no greater evil than letting greed go, and look at the corruption of officialdom. .
6. What happened to Lindong's party? At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch group headed by Wei Zhongxian created an unjust prison for the Lindong Party, and a large number of honest and selfless people were brutally persecuted.
During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1573- 16 19), the official doctor Gu Xiancheng was dismissed for violating Zongshen's will. After returning to his hometown of Wuxi, he and Gao Panlong, Qian Yiben and others quit their jobs and returned to their hometown to raise funds to repair the abandoned Donglin Academy and give lectures here.
In their lectures, they talked about the gains and losses of state affairs and attacked dignitaries and eunuchs who failed in their duties. Some North Korean officials also supported them.
These people echoed from afar and gradually formed an influential political group. They opposed the land plundering of princes and ministers, the exorbitant taxes and levies of mine supervisors, and advocated opening up roads, abusing politics and being honest in management.
Those powerful eunuchs who opposed the lecture activities of Donglin College called Gu Xiancheng and others and those who had contact with them "Lindong party member". During the Apocalypse (A.D.1621-kloc-0/627), eunuch Wei Zhongxian took advantage of Ming Xi's youth and ignorance to monopolize power, and those bureaucrats who were in favor of the situation fell at the door of Wei Zhongxian, forming a eunuch party.
At this time, the famous Lindong party member and leftist representative Yang Lian impeached Wei Zhongxian and counted 24 counts, and then more than 70 people impeached Wei Zhongxian. The Yen Party fought back crazily, concocted A Record of Lindong Essentials, added the nickname of peasant rebel generals in Water Margin to Lindong Party's head, created unjust imprisonment, and killed a large number of Lindong party member, such as Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and Huang Zunsu.
Ignoring Wei Zhongxian's slanderers, the fatuous Ming Xizong ordered the dismantling of all academies in the world, stopped giving lectures and suppressed public opinion. The eunuch party was once rampant and the state affairs were more corrupt.
In A.D. 1627, after the death of Ming Taizu Xi, Lindong Party members succeeded Zhu Youjian (Emperor Chongzhen) to the throne and began to punish Yan Party. Wei Zhongxian committed suicide, some eunuchs were killed, some were expelled from the court, and the unjust prison that persecuted Lindong party member was cleared.
