Xunzi Volume 10 Poems on Rich Countries 5 Good governance is more than Mozi's worries.

Inscription poem:

If people are good, get a few pots on an acre of land and get them at the age of one;

Melon, peach, jujube and plum, a pot and drum; Vegetables, vegetables, and so on;

Six animals, one car at a time; It's time to say goodbye to fish, tortoise and loach.

A group; Birds and geese are like a sea of smoke; Insects, everything,

In the process of growing up, you can eat and feed each other, which is countless. Everything is born,

Inherently enough, people eat; Keywords hemp silk, feather tooth leather,

There is more than enough inherent, so it is enough to dress people.

Mozi, in particular, privately worried about this plan. Mozi is unhappy, making the world chaotic;

Mozi saves money, and the world is poor. Mozi is rich in the world.

There is a small country that will be dumbfounded, poorly dressed and miserable.

If you are barren and want less, you will not be paid, and sages will not be allowed to enter.

We will accept fewer disciples, keep our official positions, make great contributions and work with the people.

All the honors. Don't bully the weak, be afraid of the hard, be corrupt,

You can't back down. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Can you,

You are not allowed to be an official. If you are an official, everything is inappropriate and nothing is appropriate.

If the sky is lost, the land is lost, and the people are lost in the middle, then the world will bear it.

If it burns, if it burns; Mozi did it, wearing brown clothes, holding a rope and drinking water.

Is evil enough? Cut its roots, exhaust its sources, and put the world first.

[translation]

Mozi's argument is anxious about the shortage of materials all over the world. What he said is not the scourge of the whole world, but only Mozi's personal troubles and worries. Now grain grows on that land. If people are good at managing it, how many pots of grain can be produced per acre and harvested twice a year. In addition, every fruit of melon, peach, jujube and plum should be calculated by pot and drum; Secondly, vegetables such as onions and garlic are also abundant; Secondly, all kinds of livestock and hunting animals are so fat that one person monopolizes a car; Catfish, catfish, soft-shelled turtle, loach and eel breed on time, and one can be in groups; Third, there are so many birds, wild ducks and geese, because smoke covers the sea; There are also insects and all kinds of creatures growing between heaven and earth: there are many things that can feed people. Everything in heaven and earth grows enough for people to eat; Hemp, kudzu, silk, feathers, teeth, leather, etc. It is enough for people to wear. The so-called scarcity of things is not a problem in the world, but Mozi's personal concern and worry.

original text

All the people in the world suffer, and they are also hurt. Who is Hu who doesn't try to seek chaos? I think Mozi's "non-happiness" also confuses the world; Mozi's "frugality" also makes the world poor, so it is necessary to become a hero.

[note] < 1 > Wei [Hu: and? Yin Grey]: The solution set is written as "falling" and "hissing", which has been modified according to Shi Detang. & lt2>, what happened? Voice promotion]: Sorry. Coarse clothes eat evil: in the aspect of "frugality", Mozi Frugality advocates well-dressed, as long as the diet can satisfy the hunger, don't eat delicacies. & lt3> Sadness instead of happiness: for "unhappiness". Mozi was worried about people's livelihood and thought that music was useless to solve people's food and clothing problems and prevent cruel wars, so he opposed music. See Mozi Le Fei. & lt4> Shang: same as Shang. Gong: Yes. & lt5> Oh: Through "forbearance". & lt6> Brown [hè? Yinhe]: coarse clothes. Belt: belt, used as a verb here. Cable: thick rope. & lt7> Hey [Chu? [pause]: the same as "sip", eat. Osmunda japonica: bean plant, which refers to bean leaves, was called "Huo" in ancient times (see Biography of Xiaowan). Edible when tender, it is an inferior vegetable, which was often used to make soup in ancient times. Drinking water: describe the poverty of life. & lt8> Same as "already". & lt9> Original text: the ancient word "source".

[translation]

? The evil in the world is to confuse people and endanger society. Why not try to find out who is disturbing the society together? I think Mozi's "unhappy" view will make the world chaos; Mozi's "frugality" thought will make the world poor. This is not to denigrate Mozi, but his theory will inevitably lead to this result. If Mozi is too strong to rule the world, or too small to rule a country, he will be embarrassed to wear coarse clothes, eat inferior food and sadly oppose music. Like this, then life must be very thin, if life is very thin, it is not worth pursuing; If it is not worth pursuing, then the reward cannot be implemented.

If Mozi is too strong to rule the world, or too weak to rule a country, he will reduce his servants, streamline his official positions, advocate hard work, and do the same things as the people with the same credit. Like this, the monarch has no majesty; If the monarch has no majesty, then the punishment cannot be carried out. If the reward cannot be implemented, then people with both ability and political integrity cannot be promoted and appointed; If the punishment can't be carried out, then people who have no ability and integrity can't be dismissed and demoted. People with ability and integrity can't be promoted and appointed, and people without ability and integrity can't be dismissed and demoted, so people with ability and integrity and people without ability and integrity can't get jobs commensurate with their talents. In this way, everything can't be used normally, and emergencies can't be handled accordingly. In the world, I missed the weather, lost my geographical position, and lost people and harmony. The world is like being dried up, burned and re-burned. How can Mozi make the world rich even if he only wears coarse clothes, makes belts with thick ropes, eats bean leaves and drinks white water? Now that the root has been broken and the source has been exhausted, the property in the world will be exhausted.
