"Fish, I want too; Bear's paws, as well as I want. You can't have both, and you can't have both, and you can give up the fish and take the bear's paw. ”

"Life is also what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also. ”

It's just two sentences, though.

But as soon as these two sentences came out, they instantly made the entire live broadcast room boil.

"I feel like I'm infected."

"Me too."

Everyone stared at Chen Fan.

also stared at the "Fish I Want" that Mencius said by a group of fans on the screen.

Although before.

At one point, they thought that life was more precious than anything else.

Even if they have heard countless great truths before, some people say that there are some things that are more precious than life.

But they don't approve of it.

They still insist on themselves.

But.

When they heard these two words from Mencius, their hearts were shocked.

"Brothers, I suddenly seem to understand the national art that Brother Fan talked about just now?"

"How do you understand?"

"The martial arts of strengthening the people, the strong species, and the strengthening of the country are the national arts. Although I don't know what era Fan Ge is talking about, I think this kind of spirit of not fearing life and death and sacrificing one's life for righteousness is the reason why our Chinese people have been able to inherit it for thousands of years. ”

"Well, martial arts training is not to become a master in the world, not just to strengthen the body, he can also be used to protect our country."

Quite a few people have some burning in their hearts.

Although they may not really do what Mencius said.

But they know.

Maybe someday.

When something touches his heart.

When something overtook his life.

So.

He will, as Mencius said, sacrifice his life for righteousness.

"Why Mencius called it a sub-sage, this is one of them."

Chen Fan also sighed.

In fact, relative to Confucius.

Many times, Chen Fan preferred Mencius.

Why do you like Mencius?

That's because.

Mencius was more down-to-earth and more straightforward.

But.

Mencius's words and deeds are not only like this, Chen Fan continued: "It is not enough that Mencius has the noble character of sacrificing his life for righteousness, born in the Warring States Period, Mencius has always wanted to promote his words and deeds, and also hopes that some of his ideas can be promoted." Even, use his ideas to govern the whole country. It's just that the Zou country, where Mencius is located, is a small country. No matter how good Mencius's thoughts are, there is not much use in the Zou State. So, Mencius took a group of his disciples to a series of vassal states. ”

"Once, on the way to various vassal states, one of Mencius's disciples, Jing Chun, asked Mencius, aren't Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi really men with great ambitions, deeds, and integrity? When they are angry, the princes are afraid, and when they are quiet, the world is peaceful. ”

Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi were both longitudinal and horizontal families during the Warring States period.

These figures crisscross the country and are invincible.

There are even columnists like Su Qin who hold the seal of the Six Kingdoms.

Their words, as Jing Chun said, once he gets angry, all the vassal states will be afraid. As soon as he quiets down, the world will be peaceful.

For many people, such a person is the real husband.

It's just that.

Faced with such a question from Jing Chun, Mencius said: "How can this be regarded as a man with great ambitions, deeds and integrity? Haven't you learned etiquette? When a man is crowned, his father gives him instruction; When a woman is married, her mother instructs her and sends her to the door and admonishes her, "When you come to your husband's house, be respectful and cautious, and do not go against your husband's will!" It is the way of women to make obedience the norm. The husband should live in the most spacious house in the world, this is benevolence, standing in the most correct position in the world, this is etiquette, walking the most correct path in the world, this is righteousness. When you are able to realize your aspirations, you will walk in the right path with the people. When you can't achieve your ambitions, you walk your own path alone. ”

And at this time.

Some netizens asked: "Brother Fan, as Mencius said, what is the real husband?" ”

Chen Fan replied: "For this question, Mencius summed it up in one sentence. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The rich and noble cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent, this is called a big husband."

These are the words of Mencius.

Equally.

This sentence has also been passed down for thousands of years.

At this time.

When Chen Fan said this, all the fans only felt that their hearts were shocked.

"The rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent...... This is the real big man. ”

"Well, that's a good point. The real big man is not how powerful he is, nor how much money he has, nor how much strength he has. But whether it is in the face of wealth, poverty, or force, you can maintain yourself. ”

What is Chinese civilization.

Here it is.

What is Chinese morality.

Here it is.

The mouths of the crowd kept chewing on this sentence.

Then close your eyes.

Then.

When they opened their eyes again.

Many fans found that they couldn't think about a lot before, a lot of knots, and a lot of contradictions.

It's all going to be here and there, and it's all going to dissipate little by little.

……

On another occasion, Mencius said to a man named Gaozi. Shun is in the acres, Fu Shuo is lifted between the plates, the rubber is lifted in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is raised in the Shi, Sun Shu Ao is raised in the sea, and Baili Xi is held in the city. ”

What does this mean?

Translated, that is, Shun was used from the cultivation of the fields, Fu Shuo was used from the labor of building walls, Jiao was used from selling fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was rescued from the prison officials and was appointed, Sun Shuao was used from the seclusion of the seaside, and Baili Xi was redeemed from the slave market and used.

"Brother Fan, what Mencius means is that heroes don't ask where they come from, maybe there will be some great achievements in our future?"

A fan asked Chen Fan a question.

Chen Fan shook his head: "On the surface, it seems to be true, but what Mencius said is not so. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Mencius means ......"

Just as Chen Fan was about to express Mencius's meaning.

But.

Chen Fan thought about it, but still felt that just talking was not enough.

Thereupon.

Chen Fan took out a pen and paper and wrote on the rice paper: "Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. ”

If you want to say one of Chen Fan's favorite words about Mencius, this sentence may be in the first place.

As for the reason.

Maybe when I was a student, I used to memorize it.

Or.

This sentence often represents countless ordinary people, countless states of mind that are constantly struggling in society.

So.

A lot of the time.

When you don't have a good time.

When you are troubled by yourself.

When you are in the midst of all kinds of tribulations.

So.

You can shout at the sky: "Therefore the heavens will descend on the people, and so will the people......"

When Heaven wants to place a heavy responsibility on a certain person.

He will surely make him suffer all kinds of hardships.

And why let him suffer all kinds of suffering?

That is, God wants to temper his mind and increase many abilities that he would not have in good times.

"Nima, Mencius has to go against the sky."

"Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds and muscles...... No wonder it's Yasheng. ”

"Brother Fan, can I say it now, so the heavens will descend on people?"

If these words of Mencius were for everyone, they were spiritual baptism.

So.

At this time, Mencius said that the heavens will descend on the great responsibility...... It was a complete capture of everyone.

Stared at the sentence that Chen Fan wrote on rice paper.

A group of fans wiped their eyes.

Forthwith.

They also took out their pens and followed Chen Fan to write down this sentence.

They may not know.

That's it.

Changing their lives in the future.

……

"Mentor, Mencius's conduct is so noble, then, when Mencius goes to various vassal states, he will definitely be warmly received by all princes and kings."

"Yes."

Chen Fan's live broadcast has ended.

But what Chen Fan said in his live broadcast room has become a must-have content in the classrooms of major Chinese departments in the past few days.

"Fang Liang", a tutor in the Department of Chinese at Kyoto University, retold the content of Chen Fan's live broadcast room.

It's just that.

When Fang Liang talked about a series of Mencius's words and deeds, some students asked questions.

For this.

Fang Liang nodded: "Because Mencius has such a character, he has been warmly received by the major vassal states. He even shared his philosophy of statecraft with the monarchs of various countries. Once, Mencius said that the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people. Mencius made an analogy, he said that a small city with a radius of three miles, and only an outer city with a radius of seven miles, attacked the city by encircling it on all sides but could not win. This is because the time conducive to combat is not as good as the geographical situation conducive to combat. The city walls are not low, the moat is not deep, the weapons and equipment are not sophisticated, and the food supply is not insufficient, but the defenders still abandon the city and flee, because no matter how good the geographical situation of the battle is, it is not as good as the people's desire and internal unity.

Therefore, the way of governing the country cannot rely on the demarcation of the boundaries of the territory, the consolidation of national defense cannot rely on the dangers of mountains and rivers, and the deterrence of the world cannot rely on the strength of force. And the king who is able to do good government will be many, and those who will help and sustain him; A monarch who is unable to exercise benevolent government has fewer people to support and help him. There are very few people who support and help him, and even relatives inside and outside will betray him; There are so many people who support and help him that everyone in the world will submit to him. This is what Mencius said about the principle that there is much help for the righteous and little help for the unjust. ”

Speaking of which.

Mentor Fang Liang said: "Although such a concept of governing the country has been recognized by various vassal states, in the subsequent time. The monarchs of the vassal states only applied Mencius etiquette, but never implemented his ideas to govern the country. ”

"Why?"

A group of students were even more suspicious.

Such a good idea, such a good idea of governing the country, why not use it?

And Mencius was such a virtuous man.

If the country is governed by Mencius's thoughts, then the whole country can be governed with stability and unity.

"If you want to tell why, you have to tell another story."

Mentor Fang Liang was not in a hurry, and continued to retell what Chen Fan said in the live broadcast room: "Another time, Mencius asked King Liang Hui, is there any difference in nature between beating people to death with a wooden stick and killing people with a knife? King Hui said: There is no difference. Mencius then asked, is there any difference between killing people with a knife and killing people by tyranny? King Hui said: It is no different. Mencius said, "There is fat meat in the kitchen, and strong horses in the stable, but the common people are hungry." There are even starving corpses in the wild, which is like leading wild beasts to eat people! How can the wild beasts be the parents of the people, and the people are disgusted when they see them, but as the parents of the people, they are not exempt from leading the wild beasts to eat people? ”

Therefore, in Mencius's thought of benevolent government, he put forward a very advanced idea, which was also very unacceptable to many monarchs at that time. This concept, that is, the people are noble and the monarch is light. ”

This said.

The students understood at once.

Why was Mencius's ideas not promoted?

Why Mencius was simply respected by them, but not reused.

Here's so much why.

It's not that Mencius is inadequate.

It's not that Mencius's thinking is inadequate.

It's the idea that the people are noble and the monarch is light, so that those who have benefits are unwilling to accept it.

As Mencius said.

There was so much fat in the kitchen, and so many strong horses in the stable, but the people were still hungry.

Didn't the monarchs of these vassal states know about this state of affairs?

They know.

But they just don't change.

Their first thought is to feed themselves, not to make the people live well.

They don't care if the people are doing well or not, or rather, they are not the first consideration.

Even.

For them.

How can it be expensive for ordinary people.

Only the monarch, only those in power, are noble.

The common people are nothing more than their enslavement or service to them.

……

"All of you here are the leaders of each place."

"There is no other purpose for today's class, I just want to study an article with you."

"This article is from Mencius."

At this time, a group of leaders gathered together.

The staff distributed a booklet to each leader.

On the booklet is written two words: "Mencius".

As can be seen from the ink on it, which has not completely dried out, this was printed overnight.

I only saw that it was written: "The reason why the world has been lost is because it has lost the support of the common people; The reason why we have lost the support of the people is because we have lost the hearts and minds of the people. There is a way to get the world: if you get the support of the people, you can get the world. There is a way to gain the support of the people: if you win the hearts and minds of the people, you can win the support of the people. There is also a way to win the hearts and minds of the people: what they want, they will be satisfied, and what they hate, will not be imposed on them. That's it. The people submit to virtue as the waters flow low, and the beasts run into the wilderness. Therefore, it is the otter who eats the fish in the deep pond; It was the harrier eagle that ate the birds and finches that drove the finches to the forest; It was King Yin Xun who brought the common people for King Wu of Zhou, who brutalized the common people......"

Then.

On the big screen, a line of words appeared: "The people are precious, the community is second, and the monarch is light." ”
