Cao jiao (1) asked, "everyone can think of Yao and Shun. What are they? "
Mencius said, "Of course."
"Ten feet for king Wen, nine feet for soup. Today is nine feet four inches long, just eat millet. How can it be? "
He said, "What happened to Xi? That's all. Someone is here, strength can't win a teenager, and there is nothing you can do; Today, raising a hundred emperors is a powerful person, but the appointment of Wu Huo (3) is only aimed at Wu Huo. Madam, do you think you are invincible? Fu Wei's ear. After Xu Xing, the elder called the younger brother, before the sprint, the elder called the younger brother. Brother Xu, why can't people do it? So is what you don't do The way of Yao and Shun is filial piety. It's Yao. The son took Yao's clothes and went to Yao's place behind his back. It's embarrassing for a child to wear a suit and tie, recite a statement and come to a ban. "
He said, "If you make friends with Zou Jun, you can leave the museum and you are willing to stay and be employed."

Cao Jiao asked, "Everyone can be Yao and Shun. Is there such a saying? "
Mencius said, "Yes."
Cao said, "I heard that it is ten feet tall and Tang is nine feet tall. Now I'm over nine feet four inches tall, but I can only eat. What should I do? "
Mencius said, "What does it matter? Do it. If someone thinks that he can't even lift a chicken, he is a man without strength. If someone says he can lift 3000 kilograms, he is a man of great strength. In the same way, it is the fire that can lift the weight of the fire. Do people worry about their incompetence? Just don't do it For example, walk slowly, so that when you get old, you will be called an old man; Come on, get ahead of your elders and call it indifference. Is it impossible for people to walk slowly? I won't do that. The way of Yao and Shun is nothing more than filial piety and sorrow. You wear Yao's clothes, say Yao's words and do Yao's things, and you are Yao. You wear Jay's clothes, say Jay's words and do Jay's things, and you are Jay. "
Cao Jiao said, "I'm going to visit Zou Jun and borrow a place from him. I'd rather stay under your door and be a student. "
Mencius said, "Tao is like Tao, is it difficult to understand?" I'm afraid people won't ask. Go back and find it yourself. There are many teachers. "
reading comprehension
Everyone can think of Yao and Shun.
This is of course a proposition rooted in the theory of "good nature", which encourages everyone to be good and everyone can make a difference.
The key is still a question of "inaction" and "impossibility". That is, the problems of "Mount Tai crossing the North Sea" and "folding branches to support the elderly" mentioned in "King Huiliang". It's just a transition from discussing political issues with Liang to discussing personal cultivation with ordinary people. Therefore, whether the king is in politics or the world is for the public, we are faced with a problem of "inaction" and "impossibility". After realizing this, we can build up the confidence that each of us is determined to do well, start from what we can, constantly improve ourselves, and finally become a person who makes a difference.
In the final analysis, it is still against people's shame, inferiority and self-esteem.
This is probably the positive significance of "everyone can think of Yao and Shun".
2. What does "everyone can think of Yao Shun" mean? Everyone can be a saint like Yao Shun.
From Mencius in the Warring States Period, "Everyone can think about Yao and Shun" (selected from "Mencius' confession" chapter "), the original excerpt:
Cao Jiao asked, "Everyone can think of Yao and Shun. What are they? " Mencius said, "Of course." "Ten feet for king Wen, nine feet for soup. Today is nine feet four inches long, just eat millet. How can it be? "
Translation:
Cao Jiao asked, "Everyone can be a sage of Yao and Shun. Is there such a saying? " Mencius said, "Yes." Cao said, "I heard that it is ten feet tall and Tang is nine feet tall. Now I'm over nine feet four inches tall, but I can only eat. What should I do? "

Mencius said, "Of course."
"King Wen ten feet, soup nine feet. Today, it is nine feet and four inches long. Just eating millet. How can it be? "
Say, "What's the matter with you? That's all. Someone is here, strength can't win a teenager, and there is nothing you can do; Today, a great man raises a hundred kings. However, the appointment of Wu Huo ⑥ is only aimed at Wu Huo. Madam, do you think you are invincible? Fu Wei's ear. After Xu Xing, elder ⑦ refers to elder ⑧, before sprint, elder refers to elder ⑧.

5. Translate a passage of ancient Chinese, the original text is Zhang in Zhang's "On the Righteousness of Monarch and Minister with Wang Chuan". Nine officials and twelve shepherds, each with his own strengths. Is it necessary to be an artificial Yuji, with a hundred positions, and then feel at ease? I am really glad to meet the times.
Fang Yao and Heshun are at the forefront, and they belong to Ren Zhongxian. Their servants devoted themselves to keeping the house thrifty, using the sages of the world and making the best use of everything. Scholars are born today and have nowhere to run, but they can do it at the right time.
The masses are arrogant and far-reaching. They admire the nest and ridicule Yu Qi. It is inevitable that they want to go beyond it, but it is not easy to get it behind them. This ignorance is not lifted. Although everyone has his own ambition, how can he be strong? It's just talk, but it's cleverly cut.
In the era of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, there were nine central officials and officials from 12 states, all of whom were talented people. Is it true that everyone can be called Dayu and Hou Ji, and their positions are all in the Prime Minister's office, and then they can be happy? I'm really happy to meet such a beautiful time. Nowadays, sages like Yao Shun employ honest and wise people. I personally performed the duty of recommending talents to the emperor, and worked hard day and night to appoint talents from all over the world to serve the emperor.
In today's era, literati have no morality to escape, and they can act according to the current situation. You travel proudly, exclaiming that you worship hermits like, and laughing at talents like, and qi. You want to escape the unshirkable responsibility and abandon the good times that are not easy to meet. This is a foolish heart that has not yet been lit.
Even so, everyone has their own ideas. How can we force you? Let's talk about my thoughts for the time being. I only hope that smart people can judge right and wrong. Note 1, Tang Yu: and the name of Yu Shun.
