Three passes without entering

Original text:

When Yu Ji was in peace with the world, he passed through his gate three times but did not enter. Confucius was wise. When Yan Zi lived in a mess, he lived in a shabby lane. He could not bear to worry about food and drink. He did not change his pleasure. Confucius was wise. Mencius said, "Yu, Ji and Yan Hui are of the same way. Yu thinks that if there is drowning in the world, he will drown himself; Ji thinks that if there is hunger in the world, he will starve himself. So it's urgent. Yu, Ji and Yanzi all changed places. Today, there are people in the same room who fight to save them. Although they are fighting with each other, they can save them. It is also perplexing for the neighbors who fight and go to rescue them. Although the household is closed, it's OK. "

Confucius thought that Yu and Ji were very wise when they passed through their own house three times and didn't go in. Yanzi lived in a narrow alley in an age of political chaos. No one else could stand that kind of hard life, but he enjoyed himself. Confucius also praised him for his wisdom. Mencius said: "Yu, Ji and Yan Hui (though different ways of life) have the same principles. Yu thought that some people in the world were suffering from floods, as if he had caused them to suffer from floods; Ji thought that some people in the world were starving, as if he had caused them to starve, so they were so urgent to save the people. If yu, Ji and Yanzi exchanged status with each other, Yanzi would not go in three times, and Yu and Ji would live a miserable life and enjoy themselves. If there are people in the same room fighting with each other, we should stop them, even if they are covered with hair and there is no time to tie their hat belts. (Yu and Ji's behavior is just like this.) If the neighbors of this place are fighting, and they go to the rescue wearing their hair and not wearing their hats and belts, they will be confused, even if they close the door and ignore them. "
