The country, the world is also used (1); People are masters, and the benefits of the world are also. If you get the Tao and stick to it, you will be safe, glorious and the source of beauty. If you can't stick to it, you will be in great danger and tired. It is better to have something than nothing, and it is impossible for ordinary people to have it, and so is Chyi Yu and Song Xian. Old Master Q, the world of interests is also good, but we can't be self-satisfied, and those who are self-satisfied are enlightened. Therefore, those who use the country stand as king, stand as hegemony, and seek to die. Of the three, the wise are willing to choose, and the benevolent are inaction.
[Note] ① System: It should be an essay. ②(mǐn Min): During the Warring States Period, the monarch of Qi (also known as Min) was defeated by Yan and died in Jun 'an. Song Xian: King Kang of Song Dynasty, whose name was Yan, was the King of Song during the Warring States Period and was destroyed by the King of Qi.
If the country calls it propriety, it is harmless, and if it does injustice and kills innocent people, it will win the world. If the benevolent does not act, the country that supports the heart will be as solid as gold. Those who do what they do, those who do what they do, must be righteous; The reason why it is laid out in the national criminal law is to quote the righteous law; The theme is extremely handsome, and the township (3) is also righteous. If so, that is the essence and determination. The country is determined, the country is determined, and the world is determined. There is no place for cones in Zhong Ni. His honesty and righteousness are related to his will, and his righteousness is related to his actions. His words and deeds are not hidden in the world, and his name will be remembered by later generations. Today, it is also based on the sincerity and benevolence of the princes that the world can see, and benevolence and righteousness are measured by law. It is based on political affairs, and the case emphasizes the need to kill people with dignity, so that the attack will finally begin. If so, the reputation of my husband will be between heaven and earth. It's not like the sun and the moon. Therefore, it is said: ruling the country with righteousness, one day is white, soup and martial arts are also. Tang Zhi Bo ⑥, Wu Wang Zhi Yan ⑥, are all places of a hundred miles, and there is a family in the world. I am a minister, and I understand my family well, and I have no reason to help righteousness. Righteousness is king.
[Note] ① "Qi è": promotion, here refers to leadership. 2 "Lu" ran: describe the solid appearance of the stone. Yes, pass "fall". Lord: When Yan Wen. ④ Qi: It should be the word "base". The same below. ⑤ Department: Open "department" to develop and expand. ⑥ Silk: The capital of Shang Tang is Shangqiu. ⑦ Hao: Our capital, in today's Xi City, Shaanxi Province, is a "pick".
Although morality has not arrived, righteousness has not benefited, but the world has been slightly played, the punishment has been promised, and it is believed in the world. Everyone knows it is necessary. The decree has been written, although it is profitable and defeated, it does not bully its people; The agreement has been reached. Although we have seen the gains and losses, we will not deceive them. If so, the enemy will be afraid of the enemy, the country will be clear, and the country will be with Guo Xin. Although you are in a secluded country, you will be in danger of the world. It's not based on politics and religion, it's not about lofty ideals, it's not about literature and art, it's not about serving people's hearts, it's about rural strategy, it's about judging labor, saving livestock and repairing combat readiness, it's about top-down belief, which is beyond the reach of the world. Therefore, Qi Huan, Jinwen, Chuzhuang, Wuhe Lu and Yue Gou Jian are all unknown countries, threatening the world and China. Nothing wrong, just a little faith. Is the so-called belief and hegemony.
[Precautions] 1 Play: Pass "get together" and get together. (2) Five Bo: namely "Qi Huan, Jin Wen, Chu Zhuang, Five Harmony Laws, Yue Gou Jian". (3) Zu Zou Ran: The teeth are tangent up and down.
When a country calls for utility, it doesn't care about Zhang Qiyi, but pursues interests. Internally, it is not afraid to deceive its people and seek small profits. Outside, it is not afraid to cheat its people and seek high profits. In the heart, it does not correct what it has, but often wants people to have it. If so, the lieutenants will have to cheat it. Cheat on his words, cheat on his words, this is also up and down, if so, the enemy will be light, the country will be suspicious, the country will be cut, Qi Min and Gong Xue will die. Therefore, the use of strong gas, not to cultivate courtesy, not based on politics and religion, not based on the world, is often to guide the way. So strong, the south is enough to break Chu, the west is enough to punish Qin, the north is enough to defeat Yan, and the middle is enough to raise Song. And attack it with Yan and Yan. If you are shocked, you will die. If you die, you will die. It is a massacre for the world. Say evil and it will be evil. There is nothing wrong, but it is not a courtesy. Of the three, the wise choose because the benevolent is in vain. Choose good people to control others, and choose bad people to control others.
[Note] ①: During the Warring States Period, there was a nobleman named Tian in the State of Qi. Once a prime minister, he was named Xue (now Tengzhou, Shandong Province). ② ū (qū): "bend", yield and be convinced.
The country, a great instrument in the world, has a great responsibility. If you make a mistake, you can't make another mistake. If you make a mistake, you will be in danger. Don't choose a road and go on. If you wipe it, it will be blocked, and the danger will die. If the country is wrong, it is not a name, and the way of law is also. As the old saying goes: Wang Zhifa, Wang Zhiren, Wang Ye; Bullying laws, people who bully others will bully others; The way of national subjugation, the people of national subjugation will also die. Of the three, the wise choose because the benevolent is in vain.
[Attention] ① Wrong (ù): Take measures and arrange. 2 painting: road. Scoparia: Same as "filth" and filth.
The responsibility of the old country is heavy, and if you don't accumulate, you will stand. The old country, the world is so new, and they are afraid of (1), don't change, change the king, and change careers. Therefore, once a day, a day's people are just too much. How can there be a thousand years of fatigue? Why? It has been said that the law of believing in helping a husband to be a thousand years old is adhered to, and those who believe in harmony and husband to be a thousand years old are also able to do it. People don't live to be a hundred years old, but some believers live to be a thousand years old. Why? It is said that those who hold themselves by the method of chitose are chitose believers. Therefore, a gentleman who accumulates courtesy and righteousness will be king, a man who is upright and perfect will dominate, and a man who overthrew power will die. Of the three, the wise choose because the benevolent is in vain. Choose good people to control others, and choose bad people to control others.
[Note] ① Fear: substitution, inheritance. 2 Wang: The ancient word "jade". 3 solid: it should be the word "country".
Those who run the country will not be alone, and the power of honor and disgrace lies in taking pictures. The body can be matched with each other, so it is king. Those who are physically incapable, understand fear and seek ability are the strong. Those who are physically incapacitated, have no fear and seek energy will be used by people close to them. If so, they will be hacked to death. Country, big use, small use, big and king, small and dead, small and huge. Those who make good use of it should be positive before benefiting. They have no sympathy for their relatives and friends, nor for their dignity. Only when they are sincere and capable can their husbands be of great use. Small users, benefit before righteousness, indifferent to right and wrong, do not wait for merit, only for those who are out of touch with their loved ones. Husband called Xiao Yong. If there are huge users, if there are small users, if there are small users, if there are small users, if there are small users. Therefore: essence is king, refutation is hegemony, and no one dies. This is also called.
[Note] ① Convenience: it means "convenience", which is the favorite junior minister of the monarch. ② Diversion: 50/50 each. ③ refutation (bó bo): same refutation, miscellaneous but impure.
It is wrong for a country to be rude. The reason why etiquette is right for the country is that analogy equals weight, rope equals straightness, and rules equals square. It is wrong and people can't falsely accuse it. "Poetry" says: "Like frost and snow, like the sun and the moon, if you do it, you will survive, if you don't, you will die." ((1)) This is also called.
[Note] ① The sentence in The Book of Songs: There are no poems, but the Book of Songs is lacking today. Will (qiāng gun), gather.
There is no joy in the country, and there is no worry about the people. Chaos brings danger to a country, while order brings peace to it. It's too much for a gentleman to be eager for quick success and instant benefit and slow down his troops! For example, a good voice, no eyes and ears. Aren't you sad? Lady's affection, eyes want to lick color, ears want to lick sound, mouth wants to lick taste, nose wants to lick stink, and heart wants to lick. These five people are bound to return the favor. He who holds five chopsticks has tools, but he who has no tools can't get them. The country of Wancheng can be described as a vast country with abundant resources, unique advantages and a way to distinguish strength. If it is, it will be happy without worry, and then it will lift five tools. Therefore, happy people are born in the country, anxious people are born in the country, and people who are eager to pursue happiness and slow down the pace of the country are unhappy. Therefore, a wise monarch will rule the country first and then enjoy the country; The prince of darkness will be anxious to pursue pleasure and slow down the pace of governing the country, so he is too anxious to win the school and stop when he dies. Isn't it sad! If you think you are happy, you will worry; If you think you are safe, you will be in danger; If you think you are blessed, you will die. Aren't you sad? On Highway 4! You can also observe what you say. Therefore, governing the country well, the Lord has a job. If my husband works hard for a day and sings songs for a day, it is what my husband and officials do, which is not enough to hurt the pleasure of playing Anyan. It's the duty of the lady's master to make the envoy stay in his hometown to do business while the husband talks and leads at the same time. If it is, it will be the world, and the name will match Yao and Yu. Master, keep an appointment and be detailed, work hard and complain, hang clothes and wait for seats, people in the sea are not willing to be emperors. My husband called to make an appointment, and his joy was beyond words.
[Notes] ① Person: Suspected as "Jun". 2 smell: bad smell. 3 discrimination: through "doing" and governance. 4 Yu Hu: Same as "Whoo-hoo". ⑤ Floor mat: bamboo mat.
The people are masters of their own affairs and officials have the ability; Those are ordinary people who regard their abilities as abilities. People want people to do it, but ordinary people can't do anything. A hundred acres of health, poor career, unmoved. Today, a person listens to the world at the same time, and those who have many days and poor treatment are let people do it. The world is big and the country is small. You must do it yourself, and then you can work hard. If you do, you won't change careers with the son of heaven. So, the county is the world, why should we do it ourselves? For those who do it, the way to serve their husbands is also, as Mozi said. Wang Zhidao, a saint, used virtue for official purposes, while Confucianism kept it. Chuan said, "The farmer ploughs the fields, Jia sells the goods, and all the workers divide their work and advise them. The scholar-bureaucrats listened to it, and the princes of the founding of the People's Republic defended it. The three public officials always discussed it, and the son of heaven only * * * himself. " If you go out and go in, the world will be uneven, so you can't tell. The same is true for hundreds of kings, and etiquette is also divided.
【 Precautions 】 ① Rudder (haha rudder): the same as "exhausted", tired and haggard. 2 hidden fire: handmaiden. 3 counties: through "hanging", the main one; Governance. 4 * * *: Pass the "arch", cross and hang the arch, and govern by doing nothing.
The land of a hundred miles can take the world, not empty, but the difficulty lies in the understanding of the master. Take the world, not lose its land, and then, one person. If the other person gets married, his land will be laughed at and I will fit in. Therefore, in the land of a hundred miles, its equal title is enough to accommodate the world's wise men, and its official career is enough to accommodate the world's talented people. It is enough to follow its old laws, obey those good people and use them wisely. A wise man can be a sergeant and a good man can be a servant. All three are the best in the world and have nothing to surpass. Therefore, the land of a hundred miles is enough to exhaust the potential, loyalty, benevolence and people. The combination of the two takes the world, and the princes are in danger first. "Poetry" says: "From west to east, from south to north, without thinking." (1) one person is also called.
[Note] ① "Poetry" says "Sentence: See" The Book of Songs, Elegant and Wang Wen's Quiet Voice ".
A studious person, a studious person, and a good shooter; Wang Liang and Zao Fu, who are good at control; A wise gentleman is also good at serving others. People take it and obey it, but people refuse to accept it and go away, so the king is already serving people. Therefore, if the old man wants to shoot well and want to shoot far and middle, then there is nothing he can do. If you want to be good and fast, then Wang Liang and Zhao Fu are the best; He is a smart gentleman who wants to unify the world and control Qin Chu. Its knowledge of use is very simple, its reputation is white, and it is easy to get along with coke, so the wise think it is a treasure, and the fools think it is difficult.
[Notes] ① Feng Fengmen: Also known as,, Yi disciple, good at shooting. ② Wang Liang: The driver of Zhao Jianzi, a doctor of the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, was good at driving.
The husband is the son of heaven, rich in the world, called the sage, and manages people. People can control what they can't get, which is also a human natural desire. The king has both. Pay attention to color and clothing, pay attention to taste and food, pay attention to wealth and control, and the world cooperates with you. The diet is very thick, the vocal music is very high, the platform is very high, and the gardens are very wide. I am a vassal, and the world is also human, and the ritual system of the son of heaven is like this. The system is based on Chen and the decree is based on (2). If an official loses his importance, he will die. If public officials are disrespectful, they will be imprisoned. A country of all directions, extravagant and detached, will die. If the reputation is like the sun and the moon, and it becomes like heaven and earth, the people of the world should respond to it, and it is also the same desire of human feelings, and the king has both. The affection of an old friend, good taste and stink, good ears and loud vocal music, lustful eyes and articles have made many women indifferent, healthy and quiet, indifferent, kind and generous, and the desire for world cooperation is both. His testicles are locked in the world and his descendants are made. People who are not crazy or confused are ignorant. If you want to be masters, you can live side by side. If you can make a person, you will never be the only one in the world. As the saying goes: the master is unfair and the minister is unfaithful. It is the reason why people are incompatible with each other, and people compete with ministers for power and profit, envy and hate. People are not broad-minded and compassionate, not eccentric, but sincere? If so, then people and ministers should give way to their careers, and then they will be safe. If so, Shun and Yu will return and return. Gongyi is the best in the world, with a suitable name and a suitable name. What are the benefits of drinking coke? Oh! You can also observe what you say. Yang Zhu cried and said: "This gentleman feels that he has fallen a thousand miles because he took a step!" Weep. This is also a matter of honor and disgrace, which is more tragic than Qu Tu. Alas! A gentleman is a thousand years old without feeling it.
[Notes] ① Oblique: Tung Oblique, a wooden house built on a high platform. (2) carry: through the "bottle", complete. Testicular prison: cage. Testicular silence is the word "high". ④ Yang Zhu: During the Warring States Period, wei ren advocated "doing it for me", and pulling a gross profit for the world without doing it.
There is no incurable country, and there is no country that is not chaotic; There is no country without a wise man, and there is no country without a strike; No country is not a people, no country is not a people; There is no country without beauty and customs, and there is no country without customs. The two go hand in hand, the country is on the top, the country is safe, and the bottom is dangerous. The first one was the king, and the next one died. Therefore, its rule of law, its virtue, its people's wishes and its vulgar beauty are combined, and the husband is the last one. If so, we will win without fighting, win without attacking, and the soldiers will win the world for nothing. Therefore, the soup is in Bo, the prince of Wu is in Zhi, and the land is hundreds of miles away. There is nothing wrong with the fact that the world is a family, the princes are ministers, and the access is smooth. Jay, Zhou, even if there is a trend in the world (3), if you can't seek Shu Ren, you will not, and you will die. Therefore, the laws of the hundred kings are different, and those who return also return.
[Notes] ① Ba (Pilei) Shi: a man without virtue. Go forward bravely through "fatigue", weakness and incompetence. When I was in Yan Wen. ③ Foreword: It should be the mistake of the word "thick".
Love the world and make it polite. If you are in the second half, you will be like a child. Law system, so people who take it, if they ignore it, such as Mohao, will be lonely and widows. Therefore, the next relative is as happy as his parents, and can be killed but not beaten badly. As for Shu Ren, it is for the sake of prosperity. Then introspection should be careful, which is the same reason for all kings, and the pivot of etiquette is also very important. Then farmers divide the fields and plough the fields, Jia divides the goods and sells them, and the workers divide the work to persuade them. Scholar-officials listen to each other in different positions. The founding monarch divided the land and kept it, and the three kings always discussed it, and the son of heaven * * * has stopped. If you go out and go in, the world will be uneven, so you can't tell. This is a big part of the etiquette shared by hundreds of kings.
[Note] ① Mo Hao: same as "millicent". ② Take: Yan Wen.
If the husband is peaceful in the day, he uses his power and wealth to make his clothes well-controlled, his palace well-measured, his people well-counted, and his burial utensils well-used, so he applies them to all things, and the size is not determined by the number of systems, so he does less things for making officials than before the gentleman. Therefore, the way of a gentleman is to be a long-term politician, but if you want to be a Pepsi, you will be sincere, and you will have great merits in governing the country, fame and fortune, and you can be king and bully. Li Long's original version is not suitable, and people who want Pepsi are not benevolent, so the country will be chaotic, the country will perish and the country will be in danger. He is also the cardinal of the monarch. Therefore, those who can take it from the world for one person, those who are not in danger for one person, and those who can do it for thousands of people can be said to be nothing. If you can become a person, why bother? Whether clothes hang or not depends on the world. Therefore, Yi Yin was used to make soup, Lu Shang was used to be king of literature, was used to be king of martial arts, and was used to be king. The humble person is the fifth uncle, and within the boudoir of Qi Huangong, the counties and counties enjoy luxury, which is unprecedented in the world. However, the nine princes, the whole world, are all five uncles, but there is nothing wrong. It is also necessary for the monarch to know that a government is in Guanzhong. It is easy for a knowledgeable person to make great achievements for it, but which one is enough to give up? Therefore, the ancient people were famous and must be Taoists; Those who have lost their country and endangered their health are the opposite. Therefore, Confucius said, "The knower knows much, but he keeps little. Can he not watch?" A fool's knowledge is limited, and he can keep more. Can he not be crazy? "This is also called.
[Notes] ① Usage: It should be "Zhou". (2) Lu merchants: Jiang, Shang and Ziya, known in the world, took respect as their teacher, and later helped the king of Wu destroy the merchants and were sealed in Qi. (3) Zhao Gong (son of Zhao Gong) Ji, who helped the prince of Wu destroy the business, was sealed in Zhao (now Qishan, Shaanxi). 4 Thai: Same as "elimination". Hey: the same as "playing".
The ruler is divided, so the main minister, the lieutenants and the officials want to listen to each other and don't listen to what they don't listen to; We should respect what we see, not what we can't see. What I have heard and seen is sincere. Although leisure is secluded, people dare not change it without respecting the system, which is the symbol of governing the country. The main way is to treat the near but not the far, to treat the bright but not the quiet, and to treat one and not the two. The Lord can cure the near and the far, the Lord can cure the bright and the hidden, and the Lord can be everything. At the same time, it is the best way for my husband to resign himself to fate and treat those who are willing but unable to do so. It can cure both the near and the far; It can not only cure the Ming dynasty, but also see the seclusion; You can be one, do everything well and be a lawbreaker. However, it is not as good as it, it is still upright and seeks the waste of its scenery. Can't cure the near, but also cure the far; If you can't see clearly, you can also see seclusion; You can't do everything by yourself. This is a rebel. Seeking the straightness of its scenery is still a waste of wood. So it is good to know the Lord, and it is also good to know the Lord in detail. The theme is good, everything is detailed, the theme is good, everything is scarce. Your last phase (2), Chen Yifa, a finger, to reply, to see its prosperity (3). As for relativity, we should listen to everything, arrange the division of court officials, measure their contributions, celebrate and reward them, and serve you at the end of the year. It's useless if it's suitable. So, you are tired of asking, but you are tired of doing it.
[Note] ① Bi: Pass "Chu", Chu. 2 theory: pass "ethics" and choose. 3 should: pass the "photo" and see it clearly. 4 sheng: pass "cheng" and reach. ⑤ Decoration: Through "hissing" and rectification.
Those who use the country, those who gain the power of the people are rich, those who gain the death of the people are strong, and those who gain the reputation of the people are proud. The three win and the world returns, and the three die and the world goes; The world belongs to the king, and the world belongs to death. Tang, a warrior, follows its path, acts its righteousness and promotes the common interests of the world. The world belongs to it except the common harm of the world. Therefore, kindness and virtue are the first, courtesy and righteousness are the first, loyalty and love are the second, and talent and ability are the second. Pay attention to serving and celebrating, pay attention to doing things, repeat them, and raise, for example, a child. When people are born, they will be lenient. When people are reasonable, they will argue about the system of laws and regulations. Therefore, people connected with the world and unreasonable people, such as luxury, will be lonely and widowed. Therefore, the people are as expensive as the emperor, as close as their parents, and they are not happy when they die. There is nothing wrong, and their morality is honest and clear, and their interests are sincere and honest. Otherwise, troubled times: pollution is rampant, theft is the first, tactics are overthrown to show it, and the invitation of the superior, the short and the woman is contradicted by the fourth, so that the fool knows, the poor are poor and the people work hard. Therefore, the people are as cheap as donkeys and as evil as ghosts, and they should learn from each other every day. It's hard to be a pawn, and I hope the people will die for themselves, but I can't get it, so I can't take it. Confucius said, "I am suitable for people because I am suitable for people." This is also called.

Who hurt the country? There is a saying: it is a great disaster for the country to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The master of a big country is also, but seeing small profits hurts the country; It is harmful to the country because it is more boring and novel to the sound, terrace and garden. It is not good to follow the right reasons, and it is harmful to the country to yearn for others. Three evils are in Hungary, and those who are good at overthrowing with power will break things. If so, the right is light and the country is in danger, and it also hurts the country. The master of a big country is not good at his affairs, disrespectful to the old law, and deceitful. If this is the case, the officials of the husband's court will get used to being impolite and be good at reversing the case. If the customs of court officials are true, then the husband and the people will become vulgar, greedy rather than polite. The customs of monarch and minister are true, but the land is wide and the power is light; Although there are many people, the soldiers will be weak; Although the punishment is complicated, it cannot be used. Husband is a national danger, but also a person who harms the country.
[Notes] ① Quotient: It came into being with "Quotient" ... 2: When. 3 Hungary: Pass the "chest".
Otherwise, Confucianism will certainly argue: 1. The court will judge the noble and the poor. If so, the scholar-officials are disrespectful to criminals. Officials will unify the system and attach importance to official rank. If so, the officials are not afraid of the law and follow the rope. If the market is closed several times without levy, the quality law prohibits it impartially. If this is the case, it is embarrassing for businesses not to cheat. One hundred workers will be laid off at an appropriate time to facilitate their skilled appointment. If so, one hundred workers will be disloyal and unwilling to continue. The county will pay less attention to the taxes on the fields, save collecting knives and cloth, and pay less attention to labor, so that farmers will be unpretentious and helpless. Scholar-officials are strict and better than soldiers. Hundreds of officials fear the law and follow the rope, so the country is often not chaotic. Merchants can travel safely without fraud, goods can make money, and the country is responsive. If a hundred workers are loyal and disloyal, they will be skilled but not rich. Simple and incompetent farmers will not lose the harmony between the weather, the land and everything in the world. It is said that decrees and customs are beautiful. Strong because of rules, strong because of signs, famous because of residence, and moving because of actions. On the so-called "Qu" of this Confucianism.
[Notes] ① Discrimination: Through "doing" and governance. ② Righteousness (yáo Yao): preach righteousness and be tolerant. ③ Xun (bitter): poor. 4 goods joint finance: it should be "goods joint finance".
Appreciating the advantages and disadvantages of "kingliness" and "overbearing" is a hot topic of debate among scholars, especially Confucian scholars, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Although the ultimate ideal of literati can only be realized by the courtesy of big and small governors, "overbearing" has still become the concept of governing the country abandoned by most people. It was not until the middle and late Warring States period that Confucian scholars gradually changed their long-standing stubbornness and began to look forward to a new monarch in the world. The topic of "Wang Ba" can also be interpreted as "the way to dominate the country". As Xunzi said in the article: "Righteousness is king, faith is hegemony, and power is death." In fact, it was Wang Ba who defined kingly way by advocating propriety and righteousness, and defined overbearing by keeping promises, thus avoiding the strict political and moral distinction between these two concepts in the past, in order to cope with the ambitions of monarchs and monarchs, especially the rulers of great powers.
In Xunzi's view, the realm of an ideal country is to respect etiquette from top to bottom. In order to realize the ideals and ambitions of the country and even the world, the rulers in the upper position must "slap the country with courtesy and righteousness without harming it", thus reaching the realm of "condescending righteousness". Although the overbearing people can't completely command the people with courtesy and justice, and achieve the perfect state of "the North Star lives in its place and the stars are * * *" (The Analects of Confucius is the government), it can be recognized that the whole country is consistent in words and deeds, "township planning, trial and punishment, livestock accumulation and war preparation are respected, but the world dares not do it."
However, whether it is kingly or overbearing, the assumptions of the two political models also require the rulers to be strict with self-cultivation so that a country's laws and policies can be implemented from top to bottom. In Xunzi's view, if a ruler wants to maintain the long-term stability of the country, he must establish a long-term guiding ideology for governing the country, that is, "righteousness" and "faith", and safeguard the sacred position of a political power through people's long-standing beliefs and morality. "For Fu Cha chitose's faith method is to hold it, so are Ann's followers and Fu Cha chitose. ..... those who are self-sustaining by the law of chitose are the believers of chitose. " Although Xunzi attributed the long-term existence of the country to the persistence of the system, the persistence of the system still needs to be maintained by generations of polite and benevolent moral people. Therefore, although Xunzi emphasized the long-term role of law and system here, he still attributed this system to the category of rule by man, which is also a major difference between Confucianism and law.
The long-term stability of the country depends on the control of "chitose people", so it is very important to choose a wise monarch. "It is the responsibility of every man to govern the country well." In addition to the monarch's self-cultivation and reassuring people, the stability of the country is more important to select talents. In particular, the minister of state was appointed to assist, and "envoys and officials must stay in the countryside to handle affairs", so that subjects have their own strengths and a clear division of labor, thus achieving social order and harmony. It is possible for the monarch to govern mainly by bending over and arching the ground, but this is by no means equal to the "inaction" advocated by Taoism, but "based on the current situation, prospering the government for the people and making those who want everything be sincere and benevolent." It was knowing yourself and yourself, and selecting talents and appointing talents that became one of the wise strategies of later monarchs. One hundred years after this assertion, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu, calmed down the world and summed up his experience. That is to say, although he is not as good as Zhang Zifang, Xiao He and Han Xin, he can take the world, but he can choose people's strengths and use them for himself, which is the proof of this argument.
The function of ceremony lies in setting. As a basic element of maintaining social harmony and stability, "ceremony" here has both the meaning of moral cultivation and certain compulsion.
