Idiom story

Xiao Bai, Duke Huan of Qi, and Chong Er, Duke Wen of Jin, were the representatives of the overlords in the spring and Autumn period. Several hundred years later, Tian biqiang, the king of Qi Xuan in the Warring States period, wanted to seek hegemony, so he asked Mencius for advice. King Xuan of Qi said to Mencius, "can you tell me something about Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin?" Mencius replied, "I'm sorry, our disciples of Confucius never talk about hegemony. We only talk about kingcraft and unify the world with the power of morality. " King Xuan of Qi asked, "what kind of morality can unify the world?" Mencius said, "I heard that once a new bell was cast and was ready to kill an ox to sacrifice the bell. When you saw a good ox being killed for innocence, you could not bear it. With your kindness, you can be king, benevolent and unify the world. The question is not whether you can do it, but whether you can do it or not! For example, someone said, "my strength can lift 3000 Jin, but I can't lift a feather; my eyesight can see the tiny things like birds and animals in autumn, but I can't see the firewood full of cars." Do you believe that? " King Xuan of Qi said, "of course I don't believe it!" Mencius then said, "yes, I can't believe it. Nowadays, your kindness can be used to treat animals, but it can't be used to love common people, which is also hard to believe. The reason why people can't live and work in peace and contentment is that you don't care at all. Obviously, it's all a matter of whether or not to do it, not whether or not to be able to do it. When you ask if you can be king and unify the world, the same is true. It is not to be able to do it, but not to do it! "
