Thirty-first of the mean
The predicate of the Mandate of Heaven is sexuality, the predicate of recklessness is the Tao, and the predicate of cultivation is teaching. Those who are also in the Tao do not need to be separated from the Tao, but they can be separated from the Tao. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious of what he does not see, and fearful of what he does not hear. Don't see it, don't show it, so the gentleman is cautious. Joy, anger, sorrow and joy have not yet occurred, which is said to be in the middle; The hair is in the middle of the section, which is called the sum; Those who are in the middle are also the capitals of the world; Those who are harmonious are also the way of the world. To neutralize, heaven is in the ascendancy, and all things are nurtured.
Zhong Ni said: "The gentleman is moderate, the villain is anti-modest, the gentleman is mean, and the gentleman is in the middle; The villain is also mean, and the villain is unscrupulous. "
Zi said: "The mean! The people can live for a long time! "
Zi said: "The way is not good, I know it: those who know it can pass, and the fool can't do it." The way is not clear, I know it: the sage is too good, and the unscrupulous are not as good. People don't eat and drink, and they rarely know the taste. "
Zi said: "It's not good! "
Zi said: "Shun Qi Dazhi is also with!" Shun is good at asking questions and good at observing, hiding evil and promoting good, insisting on both ends, using it in the people, and thinking that Shunhu! "
Zi said: "Everyone is said to know, and they are driven into the traps of protection, and Mo Zhi knows it." Everyone says to know, choose the mean, and can't keep the month. "
Zi said: "If you are a person, you can choose the mean, and if you get a good, you will lose your fists." "
Zi said: "The world and the country can be equal, the lord can resign, the white blade can be followed, and the mean is impossible." "
Zilu asked strong. Zi said: "How strong is the south? How strong is the North? Or is it stronger? Gentleness and teaching, no retribution, the south is strong, and the gentleman lives in it. The golden leather is not tired of dying, the north is strong, and the strong live in it. Therefore, the gentleman is harmonious but not flowing, and it is strong! Neutral and unleaning, strong and correct! The country has a way, it is not blocked, and it is strong! There is no way in the country, and it will not change until death, and it will be strong! "
Zi said: "Su Yin is a monster, and there will be a description in the future generations, and I will do it." The gentleman obeys the way, half-painted and wasted, I can do it. The gentleman follows the mean, and he does not regret it when he does not know it, but only the saint can. "
The way of a gentleman is hidden. The foolishness of husband and wife can be related to knowledge, and even to the end, although the saints also do not know it. If a husband and wife are not good, they can do it; And even so, although the saints also have something to do. Heaven and earth are so great that people still regret it. Therefore, the gentleman speaks big, and the world can't carry it; If the language is small, the world can not break it. "Poem" cloud: "The kite flies to the sky, and the fish jumps into the abyss." "It's up and down. The way of a gentleman is to create a husband and wife, and to the end, to observe the heavens and the earth.
Zi said: "The Tao is not far from people, people are far away from people for the Tao, and they cannot be the Tao." "Poetry" cloud: 'Vake, Vake, it's not far away.' 'Holding on to Ke to Vake, and looking at it, it is still far away. Therefore, the gentleman rules people with people, and stops at changing. Loyalty and forgiveness are not far from the way, and do unto oneself and do not do unto others. Fourth, the way of the gentleman, Qiu failed to do so, what he asked for was the son, and the father could not do it; What is sought is the minister, and the king is not able to do it; What he asks for is his brother, and he can't do it; What you ask for is a friend, give it first, but you can't do it. The line of mediocrity, the prudence of mediocre words; If there is something insufficient, do not dare not be reluctant, and dare not exhaust the surplus; Words and deeds, deeds and deeds, gentlemen are not resentful! "
The gentleman walks in his position, and does not want to care about anything else. Rich and noble, noble and noble; Poor and lowly, poor and lowly; Su Yidi, do Yidi; Hardships are hardships, and gentlemen are not satisfied without entering. If the superior does not descend, and the subordinate does not help, and if he is righteous and does not seek from others, he will have no complaints. The top does not complain about the sky, and the bottom does not complain about people. Therefore, the gentleman is easy to live. The villain took a risk to get lucky. Zi said: "If you shoot a gentleman, you will lose all the right hooves, but you will seek your body." "
The way of a gentleman is to go far and wide, and to be inferior if you climb high. The poem says: "The wife is like a drum and a harp." Brothers are both harmonious, happy and delayed. Yier's house, Leer's wife. The son said: "Parents are obedient!" "
Zi said: "The virtue of ghosts and gods is so prosperous?!" Seeing it and seeing it, hearing it and hearing it, and leaving the body and things behind, so that the people of the world can wear it all in order to bear the sacrifice. It is as if it were on it, as it is on its left and right. The poem says: 'God's thinking is unthinkable! Think about it! 'The husband is subtle, and the sincerity cannot be concealed. "
Zi said: "Shun Qi's great filial piety is also with!" Virtue is a saint, respected as the Son of Heaven, rich in the four seas. The temple feasts, and the descendants protect it. Therefore, great virtue will get its place, and it will be rich. It will get its name, it will have its longevity, so the creatures of heaven will be determined because of their materials. Therefore, those who plant cultivate it, and those who overturn it overcome. "Poem" says: 'Jiale gentleman, constitution and morality. It is suitable for the people and people, and it is blessed by the heavens, and the heavens are blessed with life. Therefore the great virtuous will be commanded. "
Zi said: "Those who are carefree, their only Wen Wanghu!" With Wang Ji as the father, King Wu as the son, the father does it, and the son describes it. King Wu, King Zhang, Wang Ji, and King Wen have the world. He does not lose his fame in the world, respects him as the Son of Heaven, and is rich all over the world. The temple feasts, and the descendants protect it. At the end of King Wu, Zhou Gong was written, Wu Zhide, chased Wang Dawang and Wang Ji, and worshiped the ancestor with the gift of the Son of Heaven. Sli also, up to the princes, doctors, and scholars. The father is a doctor, the son is a scholar, the burial is a doctor, and the sacrifice is a priest. The father is a scholar, the son is a doctor, the burial is a scholar, and the sacrifice is a doctor. The mourning of the period is up to the doctor. Three years of mourning reached the Son of Heaven. The mourning of parents, no noble or low, one also. "
Zi said: "King Wu, Duke Zhou, their filial piety!" The husband is filial piety, good at following people's aspirations, and good at telling people's affairs. In the Spring and Autumn Period, he repaired his ancestral temple, Chen Qizong, set up his clothes, and recommended his food. The ceremony of the temple, so the order is also clear. Preface, so distinguish between the noble and the low. Preface, so discern the virtuous. The travel pay is the top, so the cheap is also arrested. Swallow feathers, so order teeth also. Practice its position, perform its courtesy, play its music, respect its respect, love its relatives, die like life, death like a thing, filial piety to the end. The gift of the suburban community, so the matter God also. The ritual of the temple, so worship is also the first. Knowing the gift of the suburbs, the righteousness of tasting, and governing the country is like showing the palms! "
Mourning the public and asking about politics. Zi said: "The politics of civil and military affairs are laid out in Fangce. If its people exist, its political actions; If they die, they will be in power. Humane and sensitive, authentic sensitive. The husband is also the one who is in power, Pu Lu also. Therefore, the government is in the people, taking the people with the body, cultivating the self with the Tao, and cultivating the Tao with benevolence. Benevolence is also a person. Kissing is great; The righteous should also be. Respect for the great. The killing of relatives, the respect of the virtuous, etc., are also born of rites. If you don't get it from the bottom, you can't get it from the top, and the people can't get it! Therefore, a gentleman cannot be uncultivated; Thinking about self-cultivation, you can't be indifferent; Thinking about things, you can't know people, thinking about people, you can't know the sky. "
"The fifth way in the world is the third, so the third is the doer. Said: Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, Kundi, friends, and the five worlds. Knowledge, benevolence, and courage are the three virtues of the world, so those who do it are one. Or born to know, or learned to know, or sleepy to know, and to know, and to know, one. Or do it in peace, or do it for profit, or do it reluctantly, and its success, one also. Zi said: Eagerness to learn is close to knowledge, practice is close to benevolence, and shame is close to bravery. If you know the three, you will know how to cultivate yourself; If you know how to cultivate yourself, you will know how to govern people; If you know how to govern people, you will know how to govern the world and the country. "
"Where there are nine classics for the world and the country, it is said: self-cultivation. Respect the virtuous, kiss also, respect the minister, and the body of the minister. The people of the children are also, the people who come to work are also the people, the people of Rouyuan, and the princes are also. Self-cultivation is the way, respect the virtuous is not confused, relatives are not complaining about the fathers and brothers, respecting the ministers is not dazzling, the body of the ministers is the reward of the scholars, the people are persuasive, the people are sufficient, the people are full of money, the people are far away, and the princes are afraid of the world. Qi Ming was dressed in full clothes, and he was not moved. So slim also; Go to slander the distant sex, cheap and noble, so persuade the virtuous; Respect their position, value their lu, and share their likes and dislikes, so persuade relatives to kiss also; The official is an envoy, so he advises the minister also; Faithfulness is important, so it is advisable to advise; The times are thin, so persuade the people also; The daily and monthly tests are not only called things, so they persuade hundreds of workers; Sent to usher, Jiashan and can't, so Rouyuan people also; Following the peerless, the country was abolished, and the chaos was in danger. When the court is hired, it is thick and thin, so it is also cherished by the marquis. There are nine classics for all countries in the world, so those who do it are one. "
"If you are prepared, you will stand, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted. The pre-word rule is not compatible, the pre-word rule is not sleepy, the pre-line rule is not guilty, and the pre-word rule is not poor. If you don't get from below, you can't get from above, and you can't get it and rule it. Gain the way, do not believe in friends, do not receive the best; Believe in the way of friends, do not obey relatives, do not believe in friends; Obey the way of relatives, but the body is not sincere, not obedient to relatives; There is a way to be sincere, but there is no goodness, and there is no sincerity in the body. Those who are sincere are also the way of heaven; Those who are honest are also the way of people. The sincere person is not reluctant, does not think about it, calmly and in the middle of the way, and the saint is also. Those who are honest are also those who choose good and stubborn. "
"Erudite, inquisitive, thoughtful, discerning, and diligent. There is Buddha learning, learning Buddha ability, Buddha cuo also; There is a Buddha who asks, and the Buddha who asks knows it, and the Buddha also knows; There is Furth, Ferth, and Ferts; There is a Buddha discernment, a Buddha of discernment, a Buddha cuo; There is a Buddha line, a line of Buddha is a Buddha, and a Buddha is also. One person can do a hundred, and a person can do a thousand. If you can, you can do it. Although foolishness must be clear, although softness must be strong. "
Self-honesty is called sex. Self-evident and sincere, it is called teaching. Honesty is clear, and clarity is sincerity.
Only the world is sincere, in order to be able to do its best; If you can do your best, you can do your best; If you can fulfill the nature of people, you can fulfill the nature of things; If you can exhaust the nature of things, you can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth; You can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth, and you can participate in heaven and earth.
Secondly, the song. The song can have sincerity, sincerity is form, form is writing, writing is clear, light is moving, moving is changing, and change is changing. Only the world's sincerity is energy.
The way of sincerity can be known in advance. The country will prosper, and there will be auspiciousness; The country will perish, and there will be demons. Seeing the tortoise, moving the four bodies. Good and bad will come, and good will be propheted; If it is not good, it will be propheted. Therefore it is as true as God.
The sincere are self-contained, and the Tao is self-assured. Sincerity is the end of things, and insincerity is nothing. Therefore, the gentleman's sincerity is precious. The honest person is not self-contained, so the thing is also made. Becoming oneself, benevolence; Something is known. The virtue of sex is also in line with the way of the outside and the inside, so it is appropriate to take measures at the right time.
Therefore, sincerity is not interested. If it does not stop, it will be long, and if it is long, it will be levied; The expedition is long, the long is broad, and the broad is wise. Broad, so the load also; clever, so the cover also; It has a long history, so it is also a thing. Broad and thick with the land, smart with the sky, long and boundless. In this way, it is not seen, it does not move, it changes, and it becomes inaction. The way of heaven and earth can be said in one word. If it is not a thing, then its biology is unpredictable. The way of heaven and earth: Bo also, thick also, high also, Ming also, leisurely also, long also. Today, there are so many and infinite things, the sun, moon and stars, and all things are overthrown. There are so many handfuls of soil in this husband's land. It is broad and thick, carrying Huayue but not heavy, vibrating the river and sea without leaking, and all things are loaded. Jinfu Mountain, a volume of stones, and its vastness, plants and trees, birds and beasts dwell, treasure Xingyan, Jinfu water, a spoonful of many, and its accidents, turtles, dragons, fish and turtles, goods and wealth breeding. "Poem" said: "Only the destiny of heaven is endless!" "The reason why the sky is the sky is also the sky." It is not obvious, the virtue of King Wen is pure! "Gai said that the reason why King Wen is Wen Ye is pure is also endless.
Great! The way of the saint is beaming! The development of all things is extremely high in the sky. You're great! Three hundred ceremonies, three thousand prestige. Wait for others and then do it. Therefore, it is said: Gou is not virtuous, and the way is not condensed. Therefore, the gentleman respects virtue and learns. To the vast and the subtle. Extremely clever and modest. Review the old and learn the new, and be generous and respectful. It is not arrogant at the top of the house, and it is not double at the bottom; The country has a way, and its words are enough to prosper; There is no way in the country, and its acquiescence is enough to tolerate. "Poetry" says: "Both clear and philosophical, in order to protect his body." "That's what it means to be!
Zi said: "Foolish and good for self-use, cheap and self-dedicated, born in the present world, against the ancient way: such a person, disaster to his body also." "If you are not the Son of Heaven, you don't discuss etiquette, you don't have a system, you don't study literature. Get off the train today on the same track, with the same book and the same line. Although he has his position, he has no virtue and does not dare to be courteous; Although there is virtue. He has no place to be, and he does not dare to be courteous. Zi said: "I said Xia Li, but it is not enough. I learn Yin Li, there is Song Cunyan. I learn the Zhou ceremony, use it today, I follow the week. "
There are three times in the world, and their widowhood is too much! Although the superior is good, there is no sign, there is no sign, there is no sign, there is no sign, there is no sign, there is no believe, and the people obey; Although those who are subordinate are good and disrespectful, they do not respect and do not believe, and they do not believe in the people. Therefore, the way of the gentleman: the body, the common people, the three kings without Miao, the heaven and earth without disobedience, the ghosts and gods without doubt, the saints for a hundred generations without confusion. There is no doubt about the ghosts and gods, and they know the heavens; Hundreds of generations are not confused by saints, and they know people. Therefore, the gentleman moves and the world is the way of the world, the world is the law of the world, and the world is the rule of the world. If it is far away, it is promising, and if it is near, it will not get tired. The poem says: "There is no evil in there, and there is no shooting here." A few nights of dreams, to the end of the reputation! "There is no gentleman who is not like this, and the flea is famous in the world.
Zhong Ni Zu Shu Yao Shun, Charter Civil and Military: When the law is in the sky, the water and soil are attacked.

Only the most holy in the world is to be wise and wise, enough to have presence; Generous and gentle, enough to be tolerant; Strong and resolute, enough to be persistent; Qi Zhuang is upright, enough to have respect; Liberal arts and sciences are enough to make a difference. Pu Bo Yuanquan, and the time to come out. Pu Bo is like the sky, and the abyss is like the abyss.

Does the husband have something to rely on? Hello! Abyss! Mighty! If you are not solid, who is wise and knows the virtues of heaven, who can know them?
"Poems" said: "The clothes are still beautiful", and the work of the evil text is also evil. Therefore, the way of a gentleman is dark and sunny; The way of the villain, but the day is dying. The way of a gentleman: light and never tired, simple and literate, gentle and reasonable, know the distance and near, know the wind from the self, know the subtlety, and can enter the virtue. "Poetry" cloud: "Although it is lurking, it is also clear!" "Therefore, a gentleman is not guilty of introspection, and he is not evil. What a gentleman can't reach, only people can't see!
