Hope and Totem

Zi Zhang asked about politics, and the Master said, "Teacher! Did I tell you before? A gentleman is clear about rites and music, and he only needs to raise and arrange them." Zi Zhang asked again. The Master said, "Teacher, do you think it is necessary to spread the table and the banquet, rise and fall, and offer wine and toast, and then it can be called rites? Do you think it is necessary to carry out the oracle, play the feather flute, and make the bells and drums, and then it can be called music? Speaking and practicing is rite. Acting and enjoying it is music. A gentleman strives for these two things and stands facing south, and this is how the world is peaceful. When the princes came to court, all things were in obedience, and all officials dared not to serve. Where ritual flourishes, the people are governed; where ritual is abolished, the people are in chaos. In a room with a clever eye, there is an outer corner, a seat has upper and lower parts, a car has left and right parts, a person who walks has a following, and a person who stands has an order. This is the ancient meaning. If there is no outer corner in a room, it will be in chaos. If there is no upper and lower part in a seat, it will be in chaos on the seat. If there is no left and right part in a car, it will be in chaos on the car. If there is no following person who walks, it will be in chaos on the road. If there is no order in standing, it will be in chaos in the position. In the past, the sage emperors and wise princes distinguished between the noble and the humble, the old and the young, the near and far, the male and the female, the outside and the inside, and no one dared to cross the road. They all came out from this road. "The three sons, after hearing this from the Master, were as clear as if they had just opened their eyes.

The Concubine Accompanies the King

The Master said, “The king’s words are like silk, and the output is like a line; the king’s words are like a line, and the output is like a thread. Therefore, the great man does not advocate idle talk. It can be said, but not carried out. A gentleman does not speak; if it is possible to do something, but it is not possible to say it, a gentleman does not do it. Then the people's words will not endanger their actions, and their actions will not endanger their words. The Book of Songs says: "Be prudent and cautious in your behavior, and do not violate etiquette. '" Confucius said: "A gentleman guides people with words and restrains people with actions. Therefore, when speaking, one must consider the end, and when doing things, one must examine the consequences; then the people will be cautious in their words and cautious in their actions. The Book of Songs says: "Be cautious in your words, and respect your dignity. 'The Great Ode says: "The King Wen was solemn and respectful in his behavior. '" Confucius said: "The one who governs the people should not wear two different clothes, and should be calm and regular, so as to unify his people, and then the people's morality will be unified. The Book of Songs says: "Those people in the capital have yellow fox furs, their appearance does not change, their words are orderly, and their actions are Zhou, which is what all the people look forward to. '" Confucius said: "If you can be seen by the superiors and understood, and can be explained and understood by the subordinates, then the ruler will not doubt his ministers, and the ministers will not be confused by their rulers.

When Chen Yuanfang was eleven years old, he waited for Yuan Gong. Yuan Gong asked, "Your lord is a virtuous man in Taiqiu, and people far and near praise him. What do you do?" Yuan Fang said, "My old father is in Taiqiu. He comforts the strong with virtue and the weak with kindness. He lets them do whatever they want, and they become more respected over time."
