original text

From Chapter 24 to chapter 46 of Mencius, 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 takes it for me. He will benefit the whole world by pulling out a hair. 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 doesn't change his introduction with Sangong." （29） Mencius said, "a man who has done something is like digging a well. Digging a well is nine feet less than a spring. It's like abandoning a well." （30） Mencius said, "Yao and Shun are also of nature; Tang and Wu are also of body; 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 Tong, 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 state, 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） Wang Zidian asked: "what's the matter?" Mencius said, "it's about ambition." 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 the righteousness of giving up food and eating 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 a murderer, so what?" Mencius said, "it's just holding on." "But then Shun could not help but talk with him?" Said: "Fu Shun evil and ban it? 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 and said, "it's great to live in a place that moves Qi and nourishes the body! Husband is not the son of all men Mencius said, "the prince's palace, chariots, horses and clothes are mostly the same as those of others, but if the prince is the same, he will live in the same place. How about the people who live widely in the world? In the Song Dynasty, Lu Jun called at the gate of cuanze. The guardian said, "this is not my king. How can it sound like my king?" There is no other, so it is the same （37） Mencius said, "if you love food, you will be able to make friends with pigs; if you love disrespect, you will be able to make friends with animals. Those who are respectful are those who are not. If you are respectful but not real, a gentleman should not be false. " （38） Mencius said: "form and color, nature also; only the sage can then practice form." （39） King Xuan of Qi wanted a short funeral. Gongsun Chou said, "is it better to have a long period of mourning?" Mencius said, "it's the arm of you or his elder brother. The son is called his aunt Xu yun'er. It's just filial piety." The prince had his mother dead, and his fu asked for months of mourning. Gongsun Chou said, "if this is the case, how can it be?" He said, "it's the end of the desire that you can't get. Even if you add one day, the more you get, the better you will be （40） Mencius said, "the five reasons why a gentleman teaches are as follows: those who are like the rain of the times, those who have achieved virtue, those who have achieved wealth, those who have answered questions, and those who have done private things. The reason why a gentleman teaches these five things is the same. " （41） Gongsun Chou said, "if the Tao is high and beautiful, it's better to ascend to nature than to be able to reach it. Why not make it possible to reach it and breed in the future?" Mencius said, "a great craftsman does not change his rope and ink for clumsy work, and Yi does not change his ability for clumsy shooting. If a gentleman leads without sending, he will jump as well. If you stand in the middle of the road, those who can follow it. " （42） Mencius said, "if there is a way in the world, we should sacrifice ourselves with it; if there is no way in the world, we should sacrifice ourselves with it. We have never heard of people who died of Taoism. " （43） Gongduzi said: "Teng Geng is at the gate. If he is at the ceremony, and does not answer, why?" Mencius said, "if you ask with respect, if you ask with merit, if you ask with merit, if you ask with merit, if you ask with merit, if you ask with merit, you will not answer. Teng has two more Yan. " （44） Mencius said, "those who can't help themselves have nothing to do. What is thick is thin, and what is thick is thin. Those who advance sharply will retreat quickly. " （45） Mencius said, "a gentleman is benevolent for things, and benevolent for people. We should be kind to the people and love things. " （46） Mencius said, "if you know something, you should be anxious about it; if you are kind, you should love it and be anxious about it. Yao and Shun's knowledge but not all things, urgent priority; Yao and Shun's benevolence not all love, urgent Pro Xian also. If we can't mourn for three years, we should pay close attention to the details and small achievements; if we can't let our food go, we can't ask if we have no teeth. This is called ignorance. "

（24） Mencius said: "when Confucius ascended Dongshan, he felt that the state of Lu had become smaller. When he ascended Taishan, he felt that the world had become smaller. Therefore, those who have seen the sea can hardly be attracted by other waters, and those who study under the sage can hardly be attracted by other opinions. There is a certain way to watch water, we must watch its waves. The sun and the moon are bright, and the tiny cracks must shine. The flowing water will not flow forward until it is full of pits. If a gentleman is determined to pursue Tao, he will not be able to reach it until he reaches a certain level. " （25） Mencius said: "when a chicken crows, he gets up and does good deeds tirelessly. It's a kind of person like Shun. When a chicken crows, he gets up and seeks profits all the time. It's a kind of person like Zhi. If you want to know the difference between Shun and Zhi, there is nothing else but the difference between doing good and seeking profit. " （26） Mencius said, "Yang Zi pursues" for me ". It's good for the world to pull out his hair, and he won't do it. Mozi advocated universal love. He was willing to do whatever was good for the world, even if he was injured from head to toe. Zi Mo's attitude towards the middle is close to right. (however,) holding a middle attitude but not flexible, still clings to one point. It's not good to cling to one point because it damages Tao, seizes one point and discards everything else. " （27） Mencius said: "the hungry people feel that any food is delicious, while the thirsty people feel that any water is delicious. They don't taste the normal taste of food, but are damaged by hunger and thirst. Is there only the damage of hunger and thirst in the mouth and stomach? People's hearts are damaged, too. If people don't turn the damage of hunger and thirst into the damage of heart, then they don't have to worry about catching up with others （28） Mencius said, "Liu Xiahui will not change his conduct because he is a senior official." （29） Mencius said: "doing things is like drilling a well. After six or seven feet of drilling, there is still no spring. It's still an abandoned well." （30） Mencius said: "Yao and Shun are natural beings with benevolence and justice, King Tang and King Wu practice benevolence and justice in person, and the five tyrants borrow benevolence and justice. If they don't return it after borrowing it for a long time, how can they know that they have no benevolence? " （31） Gongsun Chou said, "Yi Yin said," I'm not close to people who don't follow benevolence and righteousness. The people are very happy to banish Taijia to Tongyi. When Taijia gets better, they are very happy to let him come back. " If a sage is a minister, the monarch is not good. Could he have been exiled? " Mencius said, "if you have Yiyin's intention, you can; if you don't have Yiyin's intention, you will usurp the throne." （32） Gongsun Chou said: "the book of songs says," I don't eat for nothing. " What's the reason for a gentleman to eat when he doesn't farm? " Mencius said: "a gentleman lives in this country. With him, the monarch and director of this country can get stability, wealth, honor and glory; his disciples can follow him, be filial to their parents, respect their elder brother, do things wholeheartedly and be honest. "I don't eat for nothing." which is more important than that? " （33） Wang Zidian asked, "what should a scholar do?" Mencius said, "make your ambition noble." The prince asked, "what is to exalt one's ambition?" Mencius said, "it's just to abide by benevolence and righteousness. It's inhumane to kill an innocent person. It's unjust to take something that should not be your own. Where should I live? Where is the way to go? Righteousness is. If you can live in benevolence and walk in righteousness, you have all the things a gentleman should do （34） Mencius said, "Chen zhongzi gave Qi to him unreasonably
