From which ancient book does "those who gain enlightenment help more, those who lose enlightenment help less" come from?

1. "Those who gain the Tao help more, those who lose it help less" comes from Mencius' Gongsun Chou.

Second, it means that those who practice benevolent policies will have more people to help and support them, while those who do not practice benevolent policies will have fewer people to help and support them.

Third, the original text is: Mencius said: "The weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony. The city of three miles, the country of seven miles, was invincible when attacked by the Lord of the Rings. If the husband attacks it, it will be the right time, and if it is invincible, it will be the right place. The city is not too high, the pond is not too deep, the army is not very profitable, and there is not much rice, so it is not as good as people and peace.

Therefore, the people in the territory do not take the government boundary, the country does not take the risk of mountains and rivers, and the world does not take advantage of war. Those who gain the Tao help more, while those who lose the Tao help less. Relatives will be there when there is no help. Help more, and the world will be at peace. Take advantage of the world and attack your relatives. A gentleman wins without fighting.

Fourth, Mencius, whose real name is Ke, was born in Zou (now Zoucheng City, Shandong Province) and was a disciple of Confucius' grandson Ji. He was a famous thinker, politician, educator and writer in China during the Warring States Period. Confucius is called "sage", Mencius is called "sub-sage", and together with Confucius, it is called "Confucius and Mencius".
