The Supreme Immortal of the City

Duke Mu asked Zisi, "Is it ancient to return to serve the old monarch?" Zisi said, "In ancient times, gentlemen promoted people with courtesy and dismissed people with courtesy, so there was a ritual of returning to serve the old monarch; today's gentlemen promote people as if they were about to kneel down and dismiss people as if they were about to cross the abyss, and do not act like the head of an enemy, isn't that good! So why is there a ritual of returning to serve?"

"There are three levels of ruling the world, and there are few mistakes! The superior ones, although good, have no evidence, and without evidence, they are not trusted, and without trust, the people will not follow; the inferior ones, although good, are not respected, and without respect, they are not trusted, and without trust, the people will not follow. Therefore, the way of a gentleman: to base it on oneself, to test the common people, to examine the three kings without error, to establish it in heaven and earth without contradiction, to question the ghosts and gods without doubt, and to wait for the saints for a hundred generations. And not confused. To question ghosts and gods without doubt is to know heaven; to wait for a sage for hundreds of generations without doubt is to know people. Therefore, a gentleman acts as the way of the world, acts as the law of the world, and speaks as the rule of the world. If you are far away, you will have hope; if you are close, you will not be tired. The Book of Songs says: "There is no harm there, and there is no shooting here. I hope I can work hard day and night to achieve eternal praise!" There is no gentleman who does not do this, and he will be praised by the world early. "

The Book of Songs says: "When wearing brocade, one should still wear a plain cloth." This is because it is disliked that the pattern is conspicuous. Therefore, the way of a gentleman is to be obscure but brighter day by day; the way of a villain is to be clear but disappear day by day. The way of a gentleman is to be indifferent but not disgusting, to be simple but elegant, to be warm but reasonable, to know the nearness of the far, to know the direction of the wind, to know the obviousness of the subtle, and to be able to enter virtue. The Book of Songs says: "Although he is hidden, he is also as bright as Confucius!" Therefore, a gentleman is not guilty when he examines himself, and has no evil in his ambition. What a gentleman cannot reach is what people cannot see! The Book of Songs says: "Even if the prime minister is in your room, he is not ashamed of the leaking roof." Therefore, a gentleman is respectful without moving, and trustworthy without speaking. The Book of Songs says: "When he reports a favor, he does not speak, and there is no dispute at the time." Therefore, a gentleman does not reward, but the people are encouraged, and does not get angry, but the people are as powerful as a sword. The Book of Songs says: "Don't show your virtue! The hundred officials will punish you." Therefore, a gentleman is sincere and respectful, and the world is peaceful. The Book of Songs says: "I have a clear mind, and I do not make loud noises or use color." Confucius said: "Sounds and colors are the least important in transforming the people." The Book of Songs says: "Virtue is like a hair." Even a hair has its own rules. The heaven's carriage is soundless and odorless, it is the ultimate!

Over time, people become mean

Using jade and jade scepters to betroth is to attach importance to etiquette; returning jade and jade scepters after the betrothal is the meaning of ignoring money and valuing etiquette. The princes are strict with each other to despise money and value etiquette, so the people will be polite. When the lord entertains guests, he will go in and out three times, feed the guests in the house, and the five kinds of meat will be displayed inside. Thirty carts of rice, thirty carts of grain, and hay and firewood are all displayed outside. Five pairs of birds are mounted every day, and all the animals have food and meat. One meal is twice a meal, and there are countless gifts at banquets and occasions, so the etiquette is heavy. Ancient people could not use money in this way, but those who used money so generously said that they were very polite. If you follow the rites, the ruler and his subjects will not bully each other, and the subjects will not invade each other. Therefore, the emperor made it, and the princes should follow it.

Achievements that are a precedent

When General Wang first came down, Yang Lang tried to persuade him to do the same but he would not listen. So Yang Lang worked hard for the king and rode in the "Zhongming Yunlu Chariot" and said, "Listen to the sound of my drum. Advance quickly and you will win." The king first held his hand and said, "If you succeed, you should use me to govern Jingzhou." Then the king forgot about him and thought he was Nanjun. After the king was defeated, Emperor Ming captured Lang and wanted to kill him. The emperor soon died and he was saved. Later, he served as one of the three highest officials in the country and appointed dozens of people as his subordinates. These people were unknown at the time, but were later recognized and appreciated, and were praised for their ability to recognize people.
