Translation of Liezi Ci Ziyang Su Zhi

Liezi lives in poverty and often looks hungry. Someone told Zi Yang, a senior official of Zheng State, "Lieyukou is a well-behaved person, but living in the country you govern is so poor. I'm afraid you don't like wise scholars? " Ziyang immediately sent officials to Liezi Su Mi. Liezi saw the official and sent it. After two obeisances, he politely declined Ziyang's gift.

Liezi entered the house after the official left. Liezi's wife complained about him and said sadly, "I heard that the wives and children of virtuous people can enjoy all their happiness, but now we are hungry." Zheng Xiangzi thought that Mr. Yang would give the food to Mr. Yang just now, but Mr. Zheng refused to accept it. Isn't this doomed to hunger! "

Liezi smiled and said to her, "Zheng Xiangzi Yang doesn't know me personally. He sent someone to send me rice and millet because of other people's comments, and when he wants to blame me, he will still rely on other people's comments, which is why I am unwilling to accept his gift. " Later, people really attacked and killed Ziyang. Liezi looks at the details and stays away from injustice.

Moreover, Liezi is worried about hunger and cold, and it is not easy to get it. When he sees it, he thinks of morality, and when he sees the benefits, he thinks of harm, not to mention his wealth. Therefore, Liezi has mastered the truth of human nature and can be said to be a person who can maintain integrity.

Liezi Cizi Yang Su Zhi is from Liezi.

Liezi, also known as Xu Chongjing, is an important Taoist classic. Lieyukou's work is of unknown age, generally during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The book is divided into eight chapters, such as Tian Rui, Huangdi, Zhou Muwang, Zhong Ni, Tang Wen, Li Ming, Yang Zhu and Fu Shuo. Each chapter consists of many fables. Among them, we are familiar with "fools move mountains", "dead people" and "sheep crossing the road died".

Liezi is open-minded, rich and poor, and is not surprised by honor or disgrace. Because my family is poor, I often don't have enough to eat, and my face is pale and thin. Someone advised Ziyang, who was in power in Zheng State, to support Liezi in order to win the name of a good scholar, so Ziyang sent someone to send him ten carts of grain. He thanked him again and again, but refused to accept the real thing. The wife complained: "I heard that people with ways, wives and children can live happily, but I often go hungry."

The Prime Minister sent you food, but you didn't accept it. I am really unlucky. Liezi smiled and said to his wife, "Ziyang doesn't really know me, but only listens to other people's words to send me food." I may listen to others in the future, blame me, I can't accept it. "

A year later, Zheng was in chaos, Ziyang was killed, and many of his henchmen were collectively killed, so that the bandits of the imperial army were safe and sound. Such a legacy is still circulating among Zhengzhou people, and this story is also recorded in the Annals of Zhengzhou in the thirty-second year of Kangxi.
