Ding Wei's Notes

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.

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.

There is a great way to make money. There are many people who make it, but few who consume it. Those who work hard and those who spend it are comfortable, then the money will always be enough. The benevolent use money to improve themselves, and the unkind use themselves to make money. There has never been a person who likes benevolence but does not like righteousness, there has never been a person who likes righteousness but does not complete his work, and there has never been a person whose treasury is not his own money. Meng Xianzi said: "He who keeps horses and chariots does not care about chickens and pigs; a family that cuts ice does not keep cattle and sheep; a family with a hundred chariots does not keep ministers who collect money. It is better to have ministers who steal than to have ministers who collect money. "This means that a country does not regard profit as profit, but regards righteousness as profit. Those who govern a country and pursue financial gain must be mean people. They are good people, but mean people are good people. Disasters come together. Even if there are good people, there is nothing they can do! This is to say that a country does not take profit as profit, but takes righteousness as profit.
