benefit all the people in the world(jiān shàn tiān xià)

If you are poor, you will be able to help yourself; if you are successful, you will help the whole world

The synonym "being good at the world" generally refers to being poor while being good at it, and being good at it while being good at it. "Being poor means being good at it, and being good at it" comes from Mencius, Chapter 9. The original sentence is "if you are poor, you will be good to yourself; if you are successful, you will be good to the world." it means that you should take care of your own moral cultivation when you are not successful. When you are successful, you should try to make everyone in the world get benefits.

Mencius is a collection of Mencius' opinions, which is compiled by Mencius and his disciples. It records Mencius' language, political views (benevolent government, the distinction between the king and the overlord, people-oriented, the difference between the king's heart and the people's respect and contempt) and political actions.

Mencius' experience

Mencius once imitated Confucius and led his disciples around the world. But it was not accepted by other countries at that time. He retired and wrote books with his disciples. According to scholars, he was deeply influenced by Jixia Taoism. Mencius has seven chapters handed down from generation to generation: King Hui of Liang, Gongsun Chou, Teng Wengong, Lilou, wanzhang, Gaozi and Jinxin. The starting point of his theory is the theory of good nature, which puts forward "benevolent government" and "kingly way", and advocates the rule of virtue. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi combined Mencius with the Analects of Confucius, the great learning, and the doctrine of the mean as the "four books". Mencius is the largest and heaviest of the four books, with more than 35000 words. From then on until the end of the Qing Dynasty, "four books" has been the content of the imperial examination.

With all my heart

original text

（1） Mencius said, "he who does his best knows his nature. If you know the nature, you know the heaven. Keep your heart and cultivate your nature, so it's natural. If you live a long life, you should cultivate your moral character and wait for it, so it's time to make a decision. " (2) Mencius said, "is it not the fate that we should obey and accept it; therefore, those who know the fate do not stand under the rock wall?". If the dead do their best, they will have the right life; if they shackle the dead, they will not have the right life. " (3) Mencius said, "if you ask for it, you will get it, if you give up, you will lose it; if you ask for something beneficial, you will get it, and if you ask for something beneficial, you will lose it. To seek Tao and to obtain destiny is to seek those who are not beneficial to gain and those who are outside. " (4) Mencius said, "everything is ready for me. It's a great pleasure to be honest. If you are strong enough to forgive, please do not be near. " (5) Mencius said, "those who do not pay attention to what they do, those who do not pay attention to what they learn, and those who do not know how to do it all their lives." (6) Mencius said, "one cannot be shameless. Shameless shame, shameless. " (7) Mencius said, "shame on the people's Congress. It is shameful to be skillful in making changes. If you are not shameful, if you are not human, how can you be human? " (8) Mencius said, "the ancient sages were kind and forgetful of power; why were they not alone? He is happy with his way and forgets the power of others. Therefore, if the prince does not pay homage to others, he must not see it urgently. If you see it, you can't be anxious, but if you get it, you can be a minister? " (9) Mencius said to Goujian in Song Dynasty: "is he fond of traveling? I talk about Ziyou. If people know it, they are clamorous; if they don't know it, they are clamorous. " He said, "how can you be so arrogant?" He said, "if you respect virtue, music and righteousness, you can be arrogant. Therefore, the poor and righteous scholars can not be separated from the Tao. If you are poor and righteous, you will get yourself; if you are not far from the way, you will not be disappointed. In ancient times, if you succeed, you will benefit the people; if you don't succeed, you can cultivate yourself in the world. If you are poor, you will be able to help yourself; if you are successful, you will help the whole world. " (10) Mencius said, "when the King Wen comes, all the people will come.". If you are a hero, you will still be prosperous even if there is no King Wen. " (11) Mencius said, "if you attach it to the family of Han and Wei, it's as far away as you think of yourself." (12) Mencius said, "it's hard for the people to complain about the lost ways. Kill the people with the way of life, though you die, you don't blame the killers. " (13) Mencius said, "the people of the overlord are like Yu, and the people of the king are like Yu. Those who kill without complaint, benefit without mediocrity, and people who move day by day without knowing what to do. How can a gentleman be called a little tonic when he changes his past and keeps his spirit and flows up and down with heaven and earth? " (14) Mencius said, "benevolent speech is not as deep as benevolent voice, and good governance is not as good as good teaching. Good governance is feared by the people; good education is loved by the people. Good governance leads to people's wealth, and good teaching leads to people's will. " (15) Mencius said, "if a man is able without learning, he has good ability; if he knows without thinking, he has good conscience. As a child, no one knows how to love his relatives, how long he is, and how to respect his brother. To be close is to be benevolent; to respect one's elders is to be righteous; to reach the world without others. " (16) Mencius said, "Shun lived in the deep mountains, lived with wood and stone, and traveled with deer and boars, so he was different from savages in the deep mountains. If he hears a good word and sees a good deed, he will not be able to resist it if he decides on a river. " (17) Mencius said, "if you don't do what you don't do, if you don't want what you don't want, that's all." (18) Mencius said, "if a man has virtue, wisdom and skill, he will always have disease. His worries are also dangerous, and his worries are also deep, so he reaches the goal. " (19) Mencius said, "if you have something to do with the monarch, you will be happy; if you have something to do with the country, you will be happy with it; if you have something to do with the people, you will be happy with it; if you have something to do with the people, you will be able to do with it; if you have something to do with yourself, you will be happy with it." (20) Mencius said, "a gentleman has three pleasures, but a king does not exist in the world. Parents exist, brothers have no reason, one is happy; respect is worthy of heaven, bow is not ashamed of people, two are happy; get the world talents and education, three are happy. There are three pleasures for a gentleman, but there is nothing in the king's world. " (21) Mencius said, "the people of all places, the gentleman's desire, the pleasure does not exist; in the world, set the people of the four seas, the gentleman's pleasure, the pleasure does not exist. The nature of a gentleman, though great deeds do not add Yan, although poor living does not damage Yan, it is also divided. It is the nature of a gentleman. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom are rooted in the heart. Their color is also natural. It can be seen on the face, on the back and on the four bodies. The four bodies are self-evident. " (22) Mencius said, "Boyi founded Zhou, lived on the coast of the North Sea, heard the work of King Wen, and said," when you come back, I hear that Xibo is good at providing for the aged. " Taigong founded Zhou and lived on the coast of the East China Sea. After hearing the work of King Wen, he said, "I have heard that Xibo is good at providing for the aged." If there is a good old-age care in the world, benevolent people will think that they have returned. Five acres of house, under the tree wall with mulberry, the average woman silkworm, then the old enough to wear silk. Five hen, two mother *, without losing time, the old is enough to lose meat. A hundred acres of land can be cultivated by a man, and a family of eight can live without hunger. The so-called Xibo is good at providing for the aged. He controls his fields, teaches his trees and animals, and guides his wife to support him. Fifty is not silk, seventy is not meat. If you are not warm or full, you will be discouraged. The people of King Wen have no old people who are cold and discouraged. This is also called "the old man." (23) Mencius said, "if you change the scope of your land, if you reduce your taxes, you can make your people rich. When you eat, you should use it with courtesy. Money is not worth using. People do not live without water and fire. It is enough to knock on people's door at dusk for water and fire. Sages rule the world, making it as hot as water. Shu Su is like water and fire, but how can the people not be benevolent? " (24) Mencius said, "Confucius ascended Dongshan and Xiaolu, and ascended Taishan and xiaotianxia, so it's hard to see the sea as water, and it's hard to swim at the gate of saints. If you have the skill to watch the water, you must watch the waves. When the sun and the moon are bright, the light will shine. Running water is a thing, but it can't do without success. A gentleman's ambition is to do the right thing, but it can't achieve the goal. " (25) Mencius said, "if a rooster crows, breeding is good, so is Shun; if a rooster crows, breeding is good, so is Zhi. If you want to know the difference between Shun and Zhi, there is no other. There is also a relationship between good and good. " (26) Mencius said, "Yang Zi took it for me, and he pulled out a hair to benefit the world. Mozi's universal love is beneficial to the world. Zi Mo holds fast to the middle; holding fast to the middle is close to it. He who has no right to hold on is still holding on to one. The person who holds one evil will be the thief of the Tao, and will take one and abolish one hundred. " (27) Mencius said, "the hungry are willing to eat, and the thirsty are willing to drink. It is not the right way to eat, but the harm of hunger and thirst. Is hunger and thirst the only harm? People are also harmful. If one does not take the harm of hunger and thirst as his heart's harm, it is not as good as not worrying about it. " (28) Mencius said, "Liu Xiahui does not change his introductions with Sangong." (29) Mencius said, "a man of great achievements is like digging a well. Digging a well nine feet below the spring is like abandoning a well." (30) Mencius said, "Yao and Shun are also of nature; Tang and Wu are also of body; the five tyrants are also of falsehood. If you don't come back after a long vacation, do you know it's not there? " (31) Gongsun Chou said, "Yi Yin said," if you don't have sex with me, it's not good. If you put too much armor on tung trees, the people will be happy. "Taijiaxian, on the other hand, people are happy." If a wise man is a minister, if he is not a wise man, then he can be put into practice Mencius said, "if you have the will of Yi Yin, you can; if you don't have the will of Yi Yin, you can usurp it." (32) Gongsun Chou said, "the poem says," no vegetarian food. " ① How can a gentleman eat without farming? " Mencius said: "a gentleman's residence is a country, and if he uses it, he will be prosperous and honorable; if his children follow it, he will be filial, fraternal and faithful. "No vegetarian food", which is more important than that? " (33) the prince asked: "what's the matter with you?" Mencius said, "Shangzhi." He said, "what is Shangzhi?" He said, "it's just benevolence and righteousness. It's not benevolent to kill a innocent person, and it's not righteous to take it. Where is the evil? Is benevolence the right way? Righteousness is also. It's up to you to be benevolent and righteous, and you should be prepared for the affairs of adults. " (34) Mencius said, "zhongzi, it's true that injustice is accepted by Qi State, and people believe it. It's also true that people should give up food and eat bean soup. There are so many people who have lost their relatives. If you believe in the small and believe in the big, how can you be (35) Tao Ying asked: "Shun is the son of heaven, Gao Tao is a scholar, and he is killing people. What is it like?" Mencius said, "it's just holding on to it." "But then Shun could not help but talk with him?" He said: "Fu Shun is evil and forbidden? I have to accept it. " "But what about Shun?" He said: "Shun regarded abandoning the world as abandoning me. They steal and run away, live by the seashore, and forget the world for life. " (36) when Mencius saw the son of the king of Qi, he sighed with a sigh and said, "I have moved my Qi,
