"Non-phase"

[Warring States] Written by Xunzi

There is no such thing as a person in the past, and a scholar is not good. The ancients have Gu Bu Ziqing, the Liang has Tang Ju in the present age, the shape and color of the relative people, and the good and bad is known as the demon, the world is called it. The ancients have nothing, and scholars do not know. Therefore, the form is not as good as the mind, and the mind is not as good as the choice of skills; the shape is incapable of the heart, the heart is incapable of the technique; if the shape is correct and the heart is compliant, although the form is evil, the mind is good, and harmless is also a gentleman. Although the appearance is good but the heart is evil, harmless is also a villain. The gentleman is good luck, the villain is bad. Therefore, the length is small and the shape of good and evil is neither good nor bad. The ancients have nothing, and scholars do not know.

Gai Di Yao is long, Emperor Shun is short; Wen Wang is long, Zhou Gong is short; Zhong Ni is long, and Zi bow is short. The former minister of Wei Ling was Gongsun Lu, who was seven feet long, three feet long, and three inches wide, with nose, eyes and ears, and his name moved the world. Chu's Sun Shuao, and I think I'm the same, suddenly bald and long left, Xuan is lower, and Chu dominates. Ye Gongzi is tall, tiny, short and barren. The rebellion of Bai Gong also made Yin Zixi and Sima Ziqi all dead. Ye Gongzi entered the Chu ruler, punish Bai Gong, and set the state of Chu, such as the backhander, benevolent and righteous, good at future generations. The story will not be long, not big, not powerful, but will also be wise. Length and size, beauty and evil appearance, no matter what! And like the king of Xu Yan, you can look at the horse. In the shape of Zhongni, the face is like a mask. Like Zhou Gong, his body is like a broken stem. The shape of Gaotao, the color is like peeled melon. In the shape of Hongyao, there is no skin on the face. The shape of Fu said, the body is like a fin planted. In the shape of Yi Yin, there is no need for moose on the face. Yu jumped over the soup. Yao and Shun participated in Mou Zi. Servants will discuss the will, compared with the literary evil? It will be the difference, distinguish the beauty and evil, and deceive each other and arrogant evil?

The ancients are long and beautiful, and they are also the best in the world. The stronger the muscles, the enemy of a hundred people, but the death of the country is a great slaughter of the world, and the later generations will speak evil, and they will be stunned. It's the trouble of appearance, it's not popular to hear and see, and it's bel to talk. Today’s worldly chaotic monarch, the son of the folk song, Yao Ye is a beautiful woman, decorated with strange clothes, with a natural attitude like a woman; a woman who does not want to be a husband, a virgin who does not want to be a scholar, abandoning her relatives and wanting to run , Standing side by side; however, the king is ashamed to be a minister, the father is ashamed as a son, the elder brother is ashamed as a brother, and the middleman is ashamed as a friend; Today, and regretting the beginning, the troubles of beauty and appearance, the lack of hearing and seeing, the deliberation of the public! However, the follower will be the one who can do it!

There are three ominous people: young and unwilling to be long-term, cheap and unwilling to be expensive, unscrupulous and unwilling to be virtuous. There are three people who must be poor: if you are above, you can’t love, if you are below, you will be better than above. If you are one, you must be poor; if you are one of the people, you must be poor. If you are two people, you must be poor. There is Yixiang County, but the benevolent cannot push it, and the intellectual cannot understand. It is the third of the people who must be poor. -People who have these three numbers, think that the upside will be in danger, and the downside will be destroyed. The poem said: "Rain and snow are stubborn, but the feast disappears, Moken goes down to the tunnel, and style dwells repeatedly arrogant." This is also what it means.

What is the reason why a person is a person? Said: It is distinguished by it. Hungry for food, cold for warmth, labor and desire, good for profit and evil, are born of human beings, and those who wait for nothing, are the same as Yu Jie. However, the reason why a person is a person is not specifically bipedal but hairless, but also distinguished by it. The present husband's crosile shape is also two-legged and hairless, but the gentleman sips his soup and eats his subordinates. The reason why the old person is human is not because of his two feet and hairlessness, but he is distinguished by it. Husbands and beasts have fathers and sons, but no relatives between fathers and sons, and there is no difference between men and women. Therefore, humanity cannot be discerned.

Discrimination cannot be greater than distinction, no distinction is greater than ritual, and no ritual is greater than the holy king; there are hundreds of holy kings, and who do I do? Say: Wen is long and extinct, festival clan is long and extinct, and the law-abiding number has the division, extremely courteous and fragile. Therefore, it is said: If you want to see the traces of the holy king, you will be able to see it, and so is the queen. The queen king is also the king of the world; the king who lays down the queen and leads the ancients, for example, he is the king who denies himself, and the king who cares for others. Therefore, if you want to see thousands of years, you count today; if you want to know hundreds of millions, you must judge one or two; if you want to know the past, you must judge Zhou Dao; if you want to judge Zhou Dao, you must judge the noble gentleman. Therefore, it is said: Knowing the distance by the near, knowing the ten thousand by one, and knowing the bright by the slight, this is also called.

The husband said: "The ancients and moderns have different feelings, so the people who control the chaos are different." And everyone is confused. Everyone is stupid and nothing to say, and so are those who are ugly and indifferent. What he sees can still be deceived, and even in the legend of a thousand generations? The liar person, among the gates, can still be falsely deceived, and more than a thousand generations? Why can't a sage deceive? Say: The sage, save with oneself者 also. Therefore, people are treated by people, sentiments are treated by affection, classes are treated by categories, gongs are treated by speaking, and Taoism is used to achieve the same, ancient and modern. The class is not contradictory, although the same is true for a long time, the hometown is a kind of evil music but not fascinated, and it is not confused by observing miscellaneous things. There are no descendants outside of the Five Emperors, and there are no wise men, too. Among the five emperors, there is no ruling, and there is no good governance, too. Yu Tang has passed on politics and is not as good as Zhou Zhicha. It is not without good governance, and it has been a long time. The preacher gives a brief discussion for a long time, a brief discussion for a detailed description, a brief description for a large, and a detailed description for a small. Fools hear the slight but do not know the details, and the details do not know the big ones. It is a long time to die, the festival clan will die for a long time.

Anything that does not conform to the ancestor's king, does not follow the courtesy and righteousness, it is called a treacherous statement; even though it is argued, the gentleman will not listen. The king of the law, Shunliyi, party scholar, but not good at speaking, not willing to talk, then he must not be a sincere scholar. Therefore, a gentleman is also good at speaking, he is aspiring, he is safe, and he is happy to speak, so a gentleman must argue. A mortal cannot say what he is good at, but a gentleman is more. Therefore, the words given to people are more important than gold, stone, pearls and jade; to see people with words is more beautiful in the article; listen to people with words, and be happy with bells, drums and pianos. Therefore, the gentleman is insatiable in words. The opposite is: Well, in fact, he doesn't appreciate his writing, so he will inevitably corrupt the servants and customs for life. Therefore, Yi said: "There is no guilt and no reputation." It is also called a rotten Confucian.

Whenever it is difficult to say, it will meet the highest and the lowest, and even the governance will lead to chaos. If you don't have it, you will get sick from a long distance, and you will be sick in modern times. Therefore, the good people will also be far-reaching without fail, in the modern world without servants, moving with the times, admiring with the world, and dying in a hurry, but the house is as if it is a stubbornness to oneself. The song is so-called Yan, but it doesn't hurt. Therefore, the gentleman uses a rope to save himself, and he uses 抴 to receive people. To save oneself with rope, it is enough to be the law of the world; to receive people by squeeze, so it can be tolerant, because the people can make the world's major events. Therefore, a gentleman can tolerate virtuousness, knowing but tolerating foolishness, broad and shallow, pure but tolerant of miscellaneous, husband is a combination of skills. The poem said: "Xu Fang is the same, the work of the emperor." This is also.

The art of talking: to visit the village, to deal with it with sincerity, to be strong to hold it, for example to say it, to distinguish it, to give it away with joy, treasure, treasure, precious, god It. If so, it is said that there is always nothing wrong. Although it is not human, human is not expensive. The husband is said to be able to value what is valuable. The legend says: "Only a gentleman is worthy of what he can do." This is also what it means.

A gentleman must argue. A mortal can't say what he is good at, but a gentleman is very ridiculous. It is because the villain argues that it is dangerous, and the gentleman argues that it is benevolent. If words are not in the benevolence, then their words are not like their silence, and their arguments are not like their own. If the words are benevolent, those who are good talkers go ahead, and those who are not good talkers go down. So benevolence speaks loudly: starting from the top, so the way is down, and the decree is also; starting from the bottom, so loyal to the top, it is also to seek rescue. Therefore, the gentleman is also insatiable in acting benevolent, with good intentions, with peace of mind, and willing to speak; therefore, the gentleman must argue. It is better to see the end in a small debate, and to see your duty than to see the end. Discuss and observe small arguments, see what is right, and make sense based on duty; the distinction between sages and gentlemen is unique. Those who have the argument of a villain, those who have the argument of a gentleman, and those who have the argument of a sage: do not think first, do not plan early, get the answer, write and class, move in the wrong place, never change, and are the argument of the sage and also. Consider it first, plan it early, listen to what you need to say, write truthfully, and be honest and honest. It is also the debater of scholars and gentlemen. Hearing his words, he is arguing and has no unification. Using his body is too deceitful and useless. The upper is not enough to Shun Ming, and the lower is not enough to meet the people of Qi. However, the average of mouth and tongue should be only the festival, and it is enough to belong to Qi Weiyan. , The husband is called the traitorous male. The Holy King started, so the first punish, then the thieves followed. The thieves have to change, they must not change.
