The role of modesty in the original text and translation

The original and translation of modesty are as follows:

Original text: Yi said: "Heaven loses money and benefits modesty, while tunnel becomes profit and flows modesty, ghosts and gods harm profit and benefits modesty, and human nature is evil and good and modest."

The Book of Changes says: The world is big, and those who are complacent will suffer, and those who are modest will gain. Above the tunnel, complacent people will be transformed so that they will never be satisfied, while modest and prudent people will often become full. The way of ghosts and gods will harm the complacent and benefit the modest.

People who are complacent in human nature are often hated, and modest people are often more likable.

Original: It is one of the modest hexagrams, and all six hexagrams are auspicious. "Book" said: "full of losses, modest benefits." I have taken public exams many times, and every time I see a poor scholar coming, there will be a period of humility.

Therefore, among all the divinatory images, only modesty can get auspicious images. Shangshu also mentioned that complacency will bring harm, while modesty can bring benefits. I have taken the exam with some people many times, and every time I see those poor scholars who are about to develop, my heart must be filled with a modest and peaceful temperament.

Original: New Wiki, there are ten people in Jiashan, only Ding Jingyu is the youngest, and he is extremely modest.

Xin Weinian, I went to Beijing to take the exam. I went to take the exam with about ten comrades in Jiashan, among whom Ding Jingyu was the youngest and very modest.

I told Fei, "Only modesty is blessed. Brother, among ten people, some dare not be ancestors, such as those who respect the universe. Be respectful and cautious, like a respectful person? Don't answer when insulted, don't argue when you hear slander, like a respectful person. People can do this, that is, the gods and spirits of heaven and earth will still bless. Is there anyone who doesn't send it? "

Fei, who went with me to take the exam, said, "That brother will definitely pass the exam." Fei Jin Po asked, "Where did you come to this conclusion?" .

I replied, "Blessings usually come to those who are modest and prudent." You see, in our line of work, who can be as modest, prudent, gentle and disappointing as Jing Yu? Can anyone be as careful, respectful and silent as Jing Yu? Is there anyone like Jing Yu who doesn't argue even if he is insulted or slandered? People can do this, even the gods of heaven and earth will bless him, how can they be underdeveloped? "

Original: Open the list, Chinese style in Guo Ding.

When the results were announced, Ding Jingyu was really admitted.

Original: The old saying goes: "Those who are interested in fame will become famous; Those who are interested in wealth will be rich. "

Once upon a time, there was an old saying: "Those who have ambition to gain fame will surely get it;" Those who have the ambition to get rich will surely get rich. "

A person's ambition is like a tree with roots. To set this goal, we must be humble and convenient, naturally move the world and benefit me.

If a person has an ambition, it is like a tree with a foundation; Once a person has set his ambition, he should keep his modesty no matter what he thinks, and he can think of others no matter what, even small things like dust, so that he can touch the world and rely on himself for happiness.

People who want to get a degree today have no real ambition at first, just a temporary interest. When it is prosperous, it will be sought, and when it is prosperous, it will stop. Mencius said, "Is Wang Zhile as vulgar as it is?" So is the surname.

Nowadays, people who have achieved fame have no great ambitions at first. They just take exams on a whim and stop when they lose interest. Mencius said, "If your majesty is extremely happy, he should extend it to the common people and enjoy it with the people." For me, gaining fame is the same.
