Chapter 1028 Zengzi is still deconstructing society

"You're still deconstructing social relationships, huh? It still doesn't seem to mention the origin of people and all things? Go on! Go on! Read on! Lege asked suspiciously.

Seeing that Zeng Zi was reluctant to say, Le Ge didn't ask any more.

If people don't want to say it, why should you ask?

Maybe? What do people start talking about next?

So far, Zeng Tzu has only talked about the relationship between heaven, earth, and man, but has not mentioned what Taoism mentions: the origin of man and all things.

Lege thinks! If you don't know the origin of "people and everything", don't solve this problem, or if you misinterpret this problem, then! Your philosophical thinking is just as wrong. Or rather! Your philosophical thinking cannot solve the fundamental problems of humanity.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

All countries under heaven have nine classics. Said: Self-cultivation, respect for the virtuous, kissing, respecting the ministers, the body of the ministers, the people, the hundred workers, the Rouyuan people, and the princes. Self-cultivation is the way; The virtuous are not confused; If you kiss each other, your fathers and brothers will not complain; Respecting the minister is not dizzy; The courtesy of the ministers and the scholars is heavy; The common people are persuaded by the people; If you come to work for 100 jobs, you will have enough money; Rouyuan people return to it in all directions; If you have princes, the world will fear them. Qi Ming is dressed in full clothes, and he is not moving, so he is self-cultivation; Go to slander the distant sex, cheap and noble, so persuade the virtuous; Respect their position, value their lu, and share their likes and dislikes, so persuade relatives to kiss also; The official is an envoy, so he advises the minister also; Faithfulness is important, so it is advisable to advise; The times are thin, so they persuade the people too; The daily and monthly tests are both good and good, so they persuade hundreds of workers; Sent to usher, Jiashan and can't, so Rouyuan people also; Following the peerless, the country was abolished, the chaos was in danger, and the time was hired, and the thick and thin came, so the princes were also conceived. There are nine classics for all countries in the world, so those who do it are one.

"What do you mean? Long talk? Interpret it? Le Ge asked.

Zeng Zi explained: "There are nine principles for governing the world and the country. That is: first, self-cultivation; Second, respect the sage; 3. Dear relatives; Fourth, respect for important ministers; Fifth, be sympathetic to the ministers; Sixth, love the people like children; Seventh, recruit craftsmen; Eighth, preferential treatment for distant guests; Nine, to appease the princes.

self-cultivation and understanding the correct way of life; If you respect the virtuous, you will not be confused; If you love your relatives, you won't provoke uncles and brothers to resent them; Respecting the ministers will not be at a loss; Be sympathetic to the ministers, and the scholars will do their best to repay; If you love the people like children, the people will be loyal; Recruit craftsmen, and the wealth will be sufficient; Give preferential treatment to distant guests, and the people of the Quartet will be obedient; Appease the princes, and everyone in the world will be in awe.

To be pure and pious like fasting, to wear dignified and neat clothing, and to resolutely refrain from doing things that do not conform to etiquette, is for the sake of self-cultivation; To drive away the villain, to alienate the woman, to despise the material and to value virtue, this is to honor the virtuous; To raise the status of the relatives, and to give them a rich bounty, in harmony with their love and hatred, is to love the relatives; to have a multitude of officials at their disposal, for the sake of honoring the great ministers; Appoint them with sincerity and sincerity, and give them more money, in order to show compassion to the people; When using civil service to avoid farming, less taxes are collected, which is to love the people like children; Frequent inspections and assessments, paid according to work, this is to recruit craftsmen; Welcome when you come, send off when you go, reward talented people, and relieve people in difficulty, which is to give preferential treatment to distant guests; Continuing the dynamous family, reviving the ruined country, curbing troubles, supporting the needy, receiving court meetings on time, giving generous gifts, and paying tribute and fee, this is to appease the princes.

In summary, there are nine principles for governing the world and the country, but the principle of implementing them is the same. Love your neighbor as yourself! ”

"It's still interpreting social relations, or staying on the surface and appearance! Alas! Lege sighed.

"Uncle Le! Listen down! Seeing that Uncle Le was dissatisfied, Zeng Zi whispered.

"That's the thought pattern for you and your husband! It may be that it can't be changed, and it will always stay on the surface of the problem, without going to the root cause! Alas! Never mind! I'm old! I don't want to fight with you anymore! You're old too, and you can't change it, and I don't want to scold you! Go on! Read on! Lege sighed.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Zi responded.

If everything is prepared, it will be established, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted. If you say it before, you don't stumble; If you decide in advance, you will not be sleepy; If you decide before you go, you will not be guilty; If the road is predetermined, it will not be poor.

If you don't get from below, you can't get from above, and you can't get it and rule it. Gain the way: do not believe in friends, do not get the superior; Believe in friends: don't obey relatives, don't believe in friends; Obey the way of relatives: anti-body insincerity, not conformity; Honesty has a way: not knowing the good, not being honest.

Those who are sincere are also the way of heaven; Those who are honest are also the way of people. Sincere, not reluctantly, without thinking, calmly in the middle, saints also. Those who are sincere, those who choose good and stubborn, are also knowledgeable, interrogating, prudent, discerning, and diligent in action. There is Buddha learning, and learning is also Buddha and Buddha; There is a Buddha who asks, and the Buddha who asks knows the Buddha Cuo; There is Ferth, and the Philip of Thought; There is a Buddha discernment, and the Buddha of the discernment is also a Buddha and a Buddha cuo; There is a Buddha line, and the line is a Buddha and a Buddha cuo.

If one person can do it, he will do it for a hundred; Ten people are capable, and they are thousands. If you can do this, although you are stupid, you will be clear, and if you are soft, you will be strong.

"What do you mean? Interpret it! Le Ge asked.

Zeng Zi interpreted: "In anything, if you are prepared in advance, you will succeed, and if you are not prepared, you will fail." If you are prepared to speak, you will not be interrupted; If you are prepared in advance, you will not be frustrated; If you are prepared for your actions, you will not regret them; If the road is pre-chosen, there will be no cornering.

If the people in the lower positions are not trusted by the people in the upper positions, it is impossible to govern the common people well. There is a way to gain the trust of those in the upper position: if you don't get the trust of your friends, you can't get the trust of those in the upper position; There is a way to gain the trust of friends: if you are not filial to your parents, you will not get the trust of your friends; There is a way to be filial to your parents: if you are not sincere, you cannot be filial to your parents; There is a way to be sincere: you can't be sincere if you don't understand what is good.

Sincerity is a necessary principle, and the pursuit of sincerity is the principle of life. A person who is naturally sincere, who can do it without reluctance, who can have it without thinking, naturally conforms to this principle, and such a person is a saint. To strive to be sincere, we must choose a beautiful goal to pursue persistently: extensive study, detailed inquiry, careful thinking, clear discernment, and practical implementation. Either you don't learn, you don't learn and you don't stop; Either don't ask, and if you don't understand, you won't stop; Either you don't want to, and you won't give up if you don't figure it out; Either they don't discriminate, or they don't give up if they don't make it clear; Either it will not be implemented, and it will not give up if it is not effective.

What others can do with a little effort, I do with a hundred percent of my efforts; What others do with a lot of effort, I do with a thousand points of effort. If you can really do this, you can be smart even if you are stupid, and you can be strong even if you are weak. ”

"Hmmm! Good! Le Ge replied.

"Thank you! Thank you Uncle Le! Zengzi thanked.
