Xunzi Buyan Tablet

Interpretation: Gentleman's morality is extremely high. Although he is silent, he is understood. Without charity, people will be close to him; Don't be angry, it's dignity.

About the author: Xunzi (about 365438 BC+03 BC-238 BC), whose real name is Qing, was born in Huaxia (Han nationality) and was born in Zhao at the end of the Warring States Period. A famous thinker, writer and politician, he was honored as "Xun Qing". It was also called in the Western Han Dynasty because it avoided the taboo of Emperor Gaozu, and because the two words "Xun" and "Sun" had the same ancient sound. He served as a drinking ceremony for Xia Ji Gong Xue in Qi State for three times, and was later ordered by Chu Lanling (located in Lanling County, Shandong Province). Xunzi developed Confucianism. On the issue of human nature, he advocated the theory of evil nature, advocated that human nature was evil, denied the innate moral concept, and emphasized the influence of acquired environment and education on people. His theory is often compared with Mencius' theory of good nature by later generations, and Xunzi has also made considerable contributions to sorting out Confucian classics.

A gentleman is not good at raising his heart with sincerity. If he is sincere, he will have nothing else to do. He only has different opinions. Sincerely observing the benevolence and getting the shape, getting the shape of god, and god can be transformed; Sincerity is rational, rationality is clear, and clarity can change. Change breeds prosperity, which is called Tiande. Silent people in the sky push up, silent people in the earth push up, and people don't say four times: husbands are often so sincere. A gentleman is the most virtuous. Ah, however, it is said that kissing without paying will not be angry, but will be arrogant: my husband will be careful when he listens. Goodness is the Tao: if you are not sincere, you will not be alone; If you are not lonely, you will not be shaped; If it is not formed, it is in the heart, in the color, in the words, if the people still do not follow; Although from doubt. The size of heaven and earth, insincerity, can't change everything; As the saints know, if you are dishonest, you can't turn to the public; Father and son are close relatives, and dishonesty is sparse; Your majesty is honorable, but dishonesty is humble. Husband's sincerity is guarded by a gentleman, and the foundation of political affairs is also. Live only by the same kind; Fuck it, then get it; Give up, and you lose. Fuck and get it, then it is light; Light, then walk alone; If you go on alone without giving up, you will benefit. Economically, the materials are exhausted, and if you don't go against the sky for a long time, it will be gone. ?

Translation:? There is nothing better for a gentleman to maintain his body and mind than sincerity. If he is sincere, there is nothing else, as long as he remains kind and ethical. Sincerely adhere to benevolence, benevolence will be manifested in behavior, benevolence will be manifested in behavior, it will appear as a god, it will appear as a god, it will affect others; If you sincerely pursue morality, you will become rational and rational, you will see things clearly and you will transform others. Reform and probation work in turn, which is called Tiande. The sky is silent and people respect it as lofty, the earth is silent and people respect it as profound, and the four seasons are silent and everyone knows the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter: these are routines and sincerity. A gentleman has high virtues. Although he is silent, people understand. Without charity, people will be close to him; Don't be angry, this is dignity: this is a person who obeys heaven and can be cautious when he is alone. The way a gentleman remoulds and influences people is this: if you are dishonest, you can't be cautious; If we can't be careful, morality can't be shown in our daily actions; Morality can't be shown in daily actions, so even from the heart, face and words, people still won't obey him; Even if you obey him, you must hesitate. Heaven and earth are big, and if you are dishonest, you can't breed everything; Sages should be wise, and if they are not sincere, they will not affect all people; Father and son should be close, and if they are not sincere, they will be alienated; You are mainly honorable, and you will be despised if you are not sincere. Sincerity is the integrity of a gentleman and the foundation of politics. As long as it is based on sincerity, the same kind will gather; Be sincere and you will get the same kind; If you lose sincerity, you will lose the same kind. Stay sincere and get the same kind, then it is easy to influence them; It is easy to influence them, so a cautious and independent style can prevail; Prudent and independent style is popular, and then cultivate people's sincerity. When people's sincerity is cultivated, their talents will be fully displayed, and people will always tend to be sincere instead of returning to their evil nature, then they will be completely affected. ?
