(1) Zhuang suddenly met Mencius and said, "Violence is seen in Wang ②, and Wang's words delight in violence, but violence is not correct." Say, "What are you happy about?" Bao Zhuang came to see Mencius and said, "I was summoned by the King of Qi, who told me that he loved music. I have nothing to answer him." Bao Zhuang asked, "How about loving music?" Mencius said, "If you are very happy, Qi will be fine!" Mencius said: "(If) the King of Qi loves music very much, I'm afraid there will be hope for the State of Qi!" One day, I saw the king say, "What did the king say about Zhuangzi's enjoyment?" One day later, Mencius was received by the King of Qi and asked, "Is it true that your King of Qi once told Bao Zhuang that he loved music?" The king turned pale and said, "I can't enjoy my predecessor's music, but I can enjoy secular music." King Qi (embarrassed) changed his face and said, "I don't like the music of ancient kings, but I just like secular music." Yue: "If you are very happy, it will be as vulgar as it is! The joy of today is also the joy of ancient times. " Mencius said, "Your Majesty loves music very much. I'm afraid Qi will have hope! Music now is like ancient music. " He said, "Can you hear me?" King Qi said, "Can you tell me the truth?" Yue: "Who is happy, alone or with others?" Mencius asked, "Which is happier, enjoying music alone or enjoying music with others?" Say, "Don't be with others." King Qi said, "I don't enjoy happiness like others." Yue: "Who is happy with fewer people and who is happy with more people?" Mencius asked, "Which is happier, enjoying music with a few people or enjoying music with many people?" He said, "If you don't follow the crowd." King Qi said, "Unlike many people who enjoy happiness together." "I please for the king. Today, the king likes to play drums here. When people heard the king's bells and drums, they noticed the drums. They looked up and told them with a frown:' My king's good drum music, how can my husband make me so extreme? Father and son don't meet, brother and sister are separated. "Today, the king is hunting here. When people heard the sound of the king's horses and chariots and saw the beauty of feathers, they all looked up and said,' My king is good at hunting. Why did my husband make me so extreme? Father and son don't meet, brother and sister are separated. "There is no other way, and people together is not fun. Mencius said, "Please allow me to talk about music for you. Suppose the king is playing music here now, and the people are worried and frowning when they hear the sound of the king's bells and drums and the tune of the flute. They said to each other,' Our king loves music. Why should we suffer so much? Father and son can't meet each other, and brothers and wives are separated. Suppose the king is hunting here now, and the people hear the king's chariots and horses and see the flags waving. They all have headaches and frown and say to each other,' Our king likes hunting, why do we have to suffer so much? Father and son can't meet each other, and brothers and wives are separated. "There is no other reason. This is because we are not satisfied with the people. Today, the king likes to play drums here. When people hear the king's bells and drums, they care about the sound of drums. They were happy and told each other,' My king is seldom ill, how can he enjoy drumming?' Today, the king is hunting here. When people heard the sound of the king's horses and chariots and saw his beautiful feathers, they happily said to each other, "My king is seldom ill. How can he hunt here?" There is no other way but to play with the people. Today, if the king enjoys happiness with the people, he will become a king. Suppose the king is playing music here now, and the people are very excited and jubilant when they hear the sound of bells, drums and flutes. They say to each other,' Our king may not be sick, otherwise how can he play music?' Suppose the king is hunting here now, and the people are excited and beaming when they hear the king's horses and chariots and see the gorgeous flags. They said to each other,' Our king is probably not ill, otherwise how can we hunt? There is no other reason for this, just because I am happy with the people. If the king can live happily with the people, he will be the king of the world. "

② Qi Xuanwang asked: "What is the 70-mile square of King Wen?" Qi Xuanwang asked, "King Wen's garden is 70 square miles. Is it true? " Mencius said to him, "There is something in the biography." Mencius replied: "There is such a record in the literature." Say, "What if I get older?" King Xuan asked, "Is it so big?" Say, "People still think it's small." Mencius said, "The people still feel small." He said, "I am 40 miles away, but people still think it is big. Why? " King Xuan said, "My garden is 40 square miles, but people still think it is big. Why? " He said: "King Wen has a square of 70 miles. There are fools who go there, rabbits who go there, and share them with the people. Do ordinary people think it is small and inappropriate? At first, I went as far as the territory and asked about the national ban before I dared to enter. I heard that there is a 40-mile-long road in the suburbs, and those who kill their own elk are guilty of murder; Fang Shili is trapped in the country and the people think it is big. Is it appropriate? " Mencius said, "The Garden of the King of Literatures is seventy miles square. Those who cut grass and firewood can go, and those who catch birds and animals can go. It is shared with the people. Isn't it natural that people think it is too small? When I first arrived at the border of Qi, I asked about the important ban of Qi, so I dared to enter the country. It is said that there is a 40-mile-square garden in the suburbs of the capital, and killing elk in it is like committing murder; It's like setting a 40-square-mile trap in China. People think it's too big, isn't it right? "
[Notes] ① Dragon: Ancient gardens for raising animals and animals.
(3) Qi Xuanwang asked, "Is there any way to make friends with neighboring countries?" Qi Xuanwang asked, "Are there any principles in dealing with neighboring countries?" Mencius said to him, "Yes. Only benevolent people can roll with the punches, so soup is Ge's business, and King Wen is mixed with foreigners. Only smart people can make a big deal out of small things, so it is very awkward for Qi Wang to do things, and Gou Jian does things in Wu. Those who are big and small are also happy; People who take small things seriously are also afraid of the sky. Happy people protect the world, and those who fear the sky protect their country. The poem says,' fear the power of nature and protect it at the right time.' ⑤ Mencius replied, "Yes. Only the benevolent can serve a small country and a big country, so Shang Tang once served Guo Ge and Wang Wen served foreigners. Only a wise man can serve a big country with the way of a small country, so King Zhou Tai once served Xiang and Gou Jian served Wu. He who can serve a small country and a big country is willing to listen to his destiny; He who can serve a big country with the way of a small country is afraid of destiny. Those who are willing to listen to destiny can rule the world, and those who fear destiny can protect the country. The Book of Songs says:' Only when you fear the majesty of heaven can you be stable.' The king said, "What a wonderful speech! I am sick and I am brave. " Xuan Wang said, "This speech is great! (But) I have a question. I like being brave. " He said, "Wang, please don't try to be brave. The husband caressed the sword and looked at it fiercely, saying,' I dare to do evil! This man is brave, and the enemy is also a man. Wang, please As the poem says,' Wang Hess was angry and made him do everything to suppress his ambition, to be loyal and to be loyal to the world.' All landowners this article Wang Zhiyong also. King Wen was furious and settled the people all over the world. "Book" said:' Heaven descended on the people, being a teacher for the monarch, only saying that it will help the people, but I am guilty and innocent. "How dare the world surpass its ambition?" It is a shame for King Wu to walk in the world. This King Wu is very brave. The prince of Wu was furious and settled the people all over the world. Now the king is angry and the people of the world are safe, and the people are afraid that the king will not be brave. Mencius replied, "Your Majesty, please don't like Xiao Yong. Press the sword and stare and say,' How dare he resist me! This is the courage of ordinary people, and can only deal with one person. Your majesty, please expand! The Book of Songs says, "Bo ran into a rage and got ready to go, so as to stop the Japanese invaders from invading Jun 'an and increase the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty, so as to repay the expectations of the world. This is the bravery of King Wen. King Wen was furious and settled the people all over the world. The history books say,' God gave birth to all peoples, and made teachers for them, asking them to help God care for all peoples. I am in charge of all the guilty and innocent people in the world. Who dares to go beyond their duties? When a man acts recklessly, King Wu will feel humiliated. This is the bravery of King Wu. The prince of Wu was also angry and settled the people all over the world. If the king is angry now and pacify the people all over the world, then the people are afraid that the king does not like being brave! "
[Notes] ① Ge: Tang, the founder of Shang Dynasty, became Tang. Ge, an ancient name, is in the north of Ningling County, Henan Province. "Tang Shi Ge", the details of which can be found in Chapter 5 of Teng Wengong Xia. ② Mixed Yi: Kunyi, the name of Xirong in the late Yin Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty. King Tai: His grandfather Gu, also known as "King Tai", is the leader of the Zhou clan. X n: A minority nationality in the ancient north, Zhou was called ǔ n, Qin and Han dynasties called Huns. ④ Gou Jian: the monarch of Yue State in the Spring and Autumn Period. In 494, the State of Yue was defeated by the State of Wu, and Gou Jian humiliated the State of Wu, and then he tried his best to destroy it. (5) The above two sentences are from The Book of Songs? Zhou Wei? I will. " ⑥ Ju: The name of the country at the end of Yin Dynasty (this is) was not enfeoffed by the Western Zhou Dynasty, but was destroyed by Chu in the first 43 1 year. 7 The above five sentences are from The Book of Songs? Daya？ Emperor. " ⑧ The above six sentences are Wen Yi of Shangshu, and the pseudo-ancient prose Shangshu is sworn in Thailand. Pet-name ruby: refers to yin. So he rose up and attacked Yin and wiped him out.
(4) Qi Xuanwang met Mencius in the Snow Palace. The king said, "Are saints also happy about this?" Qi Xuanwang met Mencius in the Snow Palace. King Xuan asked, "Do sages have such happiness?" Mencius said to him, "Yes. If people are not allowed, they are not on it. Not on, not on, not also; For the people, but not with the people, nor is it. Those who enjoy the people, the people enjoy themselves; People have their worries, and people have their worries. Joy in the world, worry in the world, but not the king, nothing. Mencius replied: "Yes. If people can't get this kind of happiness, they will complain about their monarch. If they can't get it, complain that their monarch is not good; It is not good for a monarch who is an ordinary person to be dissatisfied with them. The monarch regards the happiness of the people as his own happiness, and the people will regard the happiness of the monarch as their own happiness; You regard the worries of the people as your own worries, and the people will also regard your worries as their own worries. Share weal and woe with the whole world, share weal and woe with the whole world, and never be the king of the world. Qi Jinggong, a former scholar, asked Yanzi: ②:' Desire for persistence, enlightenment, following the sea in the south and evil spirits; What can I do to compare with the concept of the late king? Yan Zi said to him,' Ask! The son of heaven is suitable for princes to patrol the inauguration ceremony. Those who patrol hunting are also guarded by the patrol. The princes reported to the emperor. The debriefer, position also. Nothing else. There is not enough plowing in spring, and harvesting in autumn will not help. Xia Yan said, "If my king doesn't swim, why should I rest?"? My king is not ready. What should I do? A trip to Henan is a vassal. " Today, this is not the case. Teachers work and cook, hungry people feed and workers rest. You care, people will do it. Life within the party abuses the people and the diet flows; Wandering and dying, worrying about princes. Forget the flow from the flow, forget the connection from the flow, forget the famine from the dissatisfaction of animals, forget the death from music and wine. My late king had no pleasure in staying, nor did he have a journey of destruction. Only what you do. Once upon a time, Qi Jinggong asked Yan Zi,' I want to turn around the lake and look at Yaoshan, and then go south along the seaside until I reach Langxie; "How can I train myself to compare with the parade of the former king?" Yan Zi replied, "Good question! The son of heaven went to the Zhuangke to call for a hunting tour. The so-called hunting patrol is to patrol the territory guarded by governors. Zhuangke went to see the emperor and told him to report his work. The so-called debriefing is to report the performance of duties. No one has nothing to take out. Investigate the farming situation in spring and subsidize those who are insufficient (seeds, farming ability); A person who checks the harvest in autumn and gives alms to the poor harvest. A folk proverb in the Xia Dynasty said, "How can we rest if my king doesn't come out for a cruise?" "If my king doesn't come out to inspect, how can we get subsidies? The parade inspection has become an example for princes. " Now, this is not the case. When going out on patrol, encourage people to collect food, so that the hungry have no food and the tired have no rest. Everyone looks askance and complains, and the people will make an insurrection and revolt. (Such a parade) goes against God's will, harms others and harms oneself, and wastes food and drink like running water; Wandering around and dying became the troubles of princes. From upstream to downstream, having fun and forgetting to go back is called traffic; Sailing against the current, from downstream to upstream, forgetting to return, this is called Lian; Do not know how to enjoy hunting, this is called drought; If you are not satisfied with your drink, you will die. The former king had no lingering happiness or acts of famine and death. It depends on what you do. Jing Gongyue, loud in the countryside, out of the house in the suburbs. So Shixing made up for the deficiency. He called his master and said, "Let me enjoy talking with your subjects! The "logo" and "angle" of the cover are also 6. His poem says:' What is the best for a livestock king? Animal king, good king. "Gong Jing was very happy to hear this. He made full preparations in the capital, and then left the palace to live in the suburbs. Then open a warehouse to help the poor. He also called the music officer and ordered, "Make me a song that the monarch and the minister can enjoy together!" " It's probably two songs, "Positive Photo" and "Focused Photo". One of the lyrics said,' What happened to the animal king? Livestock king means loving you. "

(5) Qi Xuanwang asked, "people say I ruined Tang Ming, ruined everything? Already? " Qi Xuanwang asked, "Someone suggested that I destroy Tang Ming, destroy it or not?" Mencius said to him: "The hall of kings is the hall of husbands. If the king wants to be king, he will not destroy it. " Mencius replied, "Tang Ming is the palace of emperors. If the king intends to practice benevolent government, don't destroy it. " The king said, "Have you ever heard of Wang Zheng?" King Xuan said, "Can you tell me the truth of benevolent government?" Yes, I said, "In the past, Wang Wen ruled the contradiction. The helmsman was 9 1 and the official was Shi Lu. He closed the city to ridicule, but did not levy. If there is no prohibition, the sinner will not die. An old man without a wife is widowed, an old man without a husband is widowed, an old man without a son is alone, and a young man without a father is lonely. These four are the poor people in the world who have no complaints. King Wen, when the dynasty is benevolent, it must first consider four. " The poem says:' It's hard to be alone when you have money!' (3) Mencius said: "In the past, when Zhou Wenwang ruled the land, farmers only took one-ninth of the tax; Officials enjoy their salaries, and checkpoints and markets (for businessmen) only check and do not levy taxes; Lakes and ponds are not prohibited. Punish the sinner without implicating his wife and children. Old people who have no wife are widowed, old people who have no husband are widowed, old people who have no children are lonely, and young people who have no father are lonely. These four kinds of people are the most difficult and helpless people in the world. King Wen issued a decree to implement benevolent policies, and first of all, he should take care of these four kinds of people. The Book of Songs says:' The life of the rich is satisfactory, so pity these lonely people!' "the king said," good word! " Xuanwang said, "Well said! Said, "If Wang is good, why not?" ? Mencius said, "Your Majesty thinks it is good, why not do it?" The king said, "I am ill, but I am good at goods." King Xuan said, "I have a question. I love money. " He said, "Gong Liu is a good commodity in the past (4), and the poem says,' Accumulation is a warehouse, wrapped in grain and stuck in a bag (5), which is exhausted. Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao, Qiyang and his men mounted their horses. "6. The former residence has a warehouse, travelers have their bags, and then they can leave. If a king is a good product, what does it matter if he shares it with the people? Mencius said, "In the past, Gong Liu loved money, and the Book of Songs said,' Grain is stored in warehouses, and enough dry food is raised to hold it. Unity, stability and prestige. The arrow has been wound, the bow has been opened, all the axes and hammers have been taken, and we will set off for the front. "That is to say, people who stay in their native land are full, and people who migrate to new places have brought enough dry food before they set out for a long trip. If the king loves money and can share it with the people, then why is it difficult to implement benevolent government? " The king said, "I am sick and lustful." King Xuan said, "I have one more question. I am lewd. " Yes, he said, "In the past, the king was a lecherous and liked strange girl." "Poetry" says:' Gu Fu, who once came, led him to visit Liangshan Park in the west. As for SJGH, he and Jiang Nv came to Yu Xu. ⑦ At that time, there will be no resentment at home and no husband outside. If the king is horny, what does he have to do with the king if he is with the people? Mencius said: "Once upon a time, King Tai was lustful and loved concubines. The Book of Songs says: "Qi Huangong and his father rode along the west coast to the foot of Qishan in the morning, and took his favorite concubine, Jiang's daughter, to explore the place where they could build a palace. At that time, there were no women who couldn't find their husbands, and there were no bachelors outside. If the king is lewd and (at the same time) lets all people have spouses, what difficulties will there be in implementing benevolent government? "
[Note] ①: The place where Zhou Dongzheng received governors was at the foot of Mount Tai. ② Qi: Place name, in the northeast of Qishan County, Shaanxi Province. According to legend, Wang Tai, the king of the Zhou Dynasty, the ancient duke and father, bowed himself (the capital of Dianyi, Shaanxi Province, moved here and became the residence of Zhou people. (3) The above two sentences are from The Book of Songs? Xiaoya? The first month. ě (gě) is the same as "ke". (4) Gong Liu, the early leader of the Zhou family, moved his department from Taitai to Jin, and the Zhou family flourished from then on. ⑤ bag: a pocket for holding things. 6. The above seven sentences are from The Book of Songs? Daya？ Gong Liu. ⑦ The above six sentences are from The Book of Songs? Daya？ Encourage.
(6) Mencius said to Qi Xuanwang: "Wang Zhichen has a friend who trusts his wife, but if he disagrees with him, he will freeze his wife. So what?" Mencius said to Qi Xuanwang, "If the king has a courtier who entrusts his wife and children to a friend to take care of him and travels to Chu by himself, when he comes back, his wife and children will be hungry with cold. What should he do with such a friend? " The king said, "Abandon it." King Xuan said, "Abandon it!" He said, "What if a judge can't rule a judge?" Mencius said, "What should judicial personnel do if they can't manage their subordinates well?" The king said, "It's done." King Xuan said, "Recall him." He said, "What if we don't cure it within four borders?" Mencius said, "What if a country is not well governed?" Wang Gu talked about him. Wang Xuan turned to look at the people around him and turned the conversation to other things.
(7) When Mencius met Qi Xuanwang, he said, "The so-called motherland is not a tree, but a minister of the world. The king has no relatives or ministers, but he doesn't know his death today. " Mencius called on Qi Xuanwang and said, "The so-called old country does not mean that the country should have towering trees, but that it should have officials from generation to generation (closely related to the country). Now the king has no cronies, and the people he appointed before don't know now. " The king said, "Why can't I give it up when I know it's incompetent?" King Xuan said, "How can I know those who refuse without talent?" He said: "When you enter a sage, if you have to do it, you will make inferiority more than respect and sorrow more than sorrow. Can he be careless? Both left and right are virtuous, and cannot be done; Doctors are all virtuous, not for; People in China all say that they are virtuous, so observe and see how virtuous they are, and then use them. If both sides say no, they won't listen; All doctors say no and don't listen; People in China say no, then observe it, see it, and then go. Both sides can kill, don't listen; All doctors said they could kill, but they didn't listen; People in China say that if you can kill, you can kill it. Then, look around and see what you can kill, and then kill it. So, the people of China killed it. In this way, you can be a parent. " Mencius said: "if you choose people, if you have to, you will make those with low status surpass those with high status, and those with distant relationships surpass those with close relationships." Can he not care about this? (to a person), the left and right courtiers all say that he is good, but actually not yet; The doctor said he was well, but not yet; People all over the country said he was good, so they went to inspect him and saw that he was really good, so they hired him. Left and right courtiers say no and don't listen; The doctor said no and didn't listen; People all over the country said no, so they inspected him, and when they saw that he was really no good, they dismissed him. Left and right courtiers say you can kill, don't listen; The doctor said that you can kill people, but you don't listen; People all over the country said he could be killed, so we examined him and saw that he could be killed, so we killed him. So, the whole country killed him. In this way, it can be regarded as the parents of the people. "
(8) Qi Xuanwang asked, "What are the following?" Qi Xuanwang asked, "Is it true that Shang Tang exiled Xia Jie and King Wu crusaded against Shang and Zhou Dynasties?" Mencius said to him, "There is something in the biography." Mencius replied: "There is such a record in the literature." Said, "How can I kill my king?" King Xuan asked, "Can courtiers kill you?" Yue: "A thief who is benevolent is a thief, and a thief who is righteous is a cripple; A thief is a husband. I have heard of killing my husband, but I have never heard of killing the king. " Mencius said: "Those who corrupt righteousness are called thieves; Those who corrupt righteousness are called disabled; People like the disabled and thieves are called husbands. I only heard that I killed my husband, not that I killed you. "
[Notes] ① Jie: The last monarch of Xia Dynasty was Jie and cruel. According to legend, Shang Tang was destroyed, and Jie was exiled to Nanchao (reportedly in the area of Chao County in Anhui Province today). (2) Attack on Zhou Dynasty: The last monarch week of Shang Dynasty was chaotic and cruel. Zhou Wuwang rose up against the Shang Dynasty, destroyed it, and then set himself on fire and died.
(9) When Mencius met Qi Xuanwang, he said, "If it is a huge room, it will make workers ask for big trees. If an engineer gets a big tree, Wang Xi thinks he can win his position. If the craftsman is young, the king will get angry and think that he will not win his job. My wife learned it when she was young, but she wanted to wait until she was strong. Wang said,' How about learning from me when you become an aunt?' ? Today, there is a rough jade here. Although there are thousands of jade, there must be jade carvings. As for governing the country, why is it different from teaching jade people to carve jade? Mencius went to see Qi Xuanwang and said, "To build a big house, we must let the workers look for big wood. When the engineer found the big wood, the king was very happy and thought the engineer was very capable. The carpenter cut the wood and made it smaller, so the king was angry and thought the carpenter was incompetent. A person learned a skill from primary school and wanted to use it when he grew up, but the king said,' Give up what you learned for a while and listen to me'. Is it okay? Imagine that there is a rough jade here now. Although it's worth thousands of dollars, it must have been carved by a jade man. As for governing the country, he said,' Give up the skills you have learned for a while and listen to me'. So, what is the difference between this and insisting that a jade craftsman carve jade (according to your method)? "
[Note] ① Engineer: an official in charge of various craftsmen. ② Original jade: uncut jade. ③ Yi (y √): ancient unit of weight. Twenty-two (one says twenty-four) is one change.
(10) Qi people cut Yan and win it. King Xuan asked, "Either I don't take it or I take it. Cut down the country of Wan with the country of Wan, and take it at the age of 50, which is not the case with manpower. Woe to you if you don't take it. Here, what? " Qi attacked Yan and defeated Yan. Asked: "Some people advised me not to swallow Yan, others advised me to swallow Yan. It took 50 days for a country with 10,000 personnel carriers to attack another country with 10,000 personnel carriers. It is impossible to rely solely on manpower. If we don't annex it, there will be a disaster from heaven. How about annexing it? " Mencius said to him, "Yan Min can take it if he likes." . In ancient times, there were people who did things, and the king of Wu also. Take it, Yan Min is not happy, so don't take it. In ancient times, there was an official, Wen Wangye (1). How can he cut down the country of Wancheng with the country of Wancheng and eat the marrow to meet Julian Waghann? Avoid fire and water. No matter how deep the water is, no matter how hot the fire is, there is only luck. Mencius replied: "If it is annexed and the people of Yan are happy, then annex it." . Some people did this in ancient times, and so did the king of Wu. If the people of Yan are not satisfied with the annexation, then don't annex it. Some people did this in ancient times, such as King Wen. A country with 10000 personnel carriers will attack another country with 10000 personnel carriers, and the people will welcome the king's army with wine and food. Is there any other requirement? Just trying to avoid hot water. If the water is deeper and the fire is hotter, people will have to turn to others to save them. "
[Note] (1) wang wen also: It means that when there are two things in the world, Zhou Wenwang still serves Shang Zhouwang. (2) Eat kettle pulp: vegetables are put in baskets and wine pulp is put in pots. Bamboo basket is a round bamboo vessel for holding rice in ancient times.
(1 1) Qi people cut the swallow and took it. Princes will try to save Yan. Wang Xuan said, "How do you treat those who try to attack me?" Attack Yan together and lay the foundation for Yan. Other vassal States plotted to save Yan. King Xuan said, "Many governors have plotted against me. How should we deal with them? " Mencius said to him: "I heard that seventy miles is the rule of the world, and soup is also." Never heard of people who are afraid of thousands of miles. The book says,' Tang Yizheng began in Ge.' The world believes in it, and it is expropriated in the east, hated in the west, expropriated in the south and hated in the north, saying,' Xi is the post-me?' People expect that if Yun Ni is also dry. Not only those who return to the city, but also the cultivators remain the same. If it rains, people will be very happy. The book says, "After worrying about me, I will be late." Today, Yan abused his people, and Suo Luo Zheng did it. People thought they would save themselves from the mire and eat the meat in the pot to welcome Julian Waghann. If you kill your father and brother, you will tire your children, destroy their ancestral temples and move their heavy weapons. So what? The world is firmly afraid of the strength of Qi, and now it is twice as good as benevolent government. Moving the world is a last resort, which will make inferiority more than respect and sparseness more than qi. Could it have been an accident? Both left and right are virtuous, and cannot be done; Doctors are all virtuous, not for; People in China all say that they are virtuous, so observe and see how virtuous they are, and then use them. If both sides say no, they won't listen; All doctors say no and don't listen; People in China say no, then observe it, see it, and then go. Both sides can kill, don't listen; All doctors said they could kill, but they didn't listen; People in China say that if you can kill, you can kill it. Then, look around and see what you can kill, and then kill it. So, the people of China killed it. So, then you can be a parent. Mencius replied, "I heard that a large area 70 miles square unified the world, and that's what happened in Shang Tang. I've never heard of people who are afraid of others because of their vast area and square distance. The history books say:' Shang Tang's conquest began with Ge. People all over the world trust Shang Tang. When he conquered the East, people in the West complained. When he conquered the South, people in the North complained and said, "Why didn't you (conquer us first) leave us behind?" The people look forward to him, just as they look forward to the rainbow in the dark clouds during the drought. (Tang Dajun has arrived at a place.) The people in the market do business as usual, and the farmers do farm work as usual. Kill the tyrant there and show sympathy for the people there, just like timely rain falling from the sky, and the people are ecstatic.
