China's traditional maxims of governance

1, the ancient sages, such as the Tang of the obscure Dan Pi Xian, King of the Sun, Jackson, no time, the Duke of Zhou, night and day, sitting waiting for the day, cover all the time is not to work hard to self-motivation. A piece of "No Ease", which pushes the idea that diligence leads to longevity, and ease leads to premature death, is not a bad idea. For the sake of a person's plan, he must practice his skills, sharpen his muscles and bones, be troubled by his knowledge and behavior, and worry about the danger, and then he can increase his wisdom and grow his knowledge; for the sake of the whole world, he must starve himself and drown himself, and if he does not get what he wants, he will be cited as the remaining innocent. The boat of Dayu traveled for four years and did not pass through the door, and Mozi put his heel on the top of his head to benefit the whole world. Both of them were extremely frugal in order to serve their own bodies, and extremely diligent in order to save the people. Therefore, Xunzi called the behavior of Dayu and Mozai, because of their diligence.

2. The day of the hoe is the afternoon, sweat drops under the soil. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

3, the main respect: neat and serious, no time to be cautious. When there is nothing to do, the heart is in the cavity; when there is something to do, it is specialized and unmixed, like the rising of the sun.

4, to protect the body: labor, desire and diet, and always as a disease.

5, the month without forgetting what can be: a few poems per month, to test the amount of accumulation of reason, to raise the gas of the fullness or not, can not be obsessed with, the most easy to drown in the heart of the loss of will.

6, from frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality is difficult.

7, thrift and frugality is prosperous, obscene and anonymous is dead.

8, people's livelihood in the diligence, diligence is not scarce.

9, thrift, the virtue of **** also; luxury, the great evil.

10, cover the scholar reading, the first to have a will, the second to have knowledge, the third to have constant. Will not be willing to undercurrent, awareness of learning is endless, can not be one to get self-sufficient, there is no such thing as constant. This three are indispensable.

11, gas: gas hidden in the dantian, nothing that can not be said to others.

12, home fish, dogs, planting bamboo, planting vegetables four things. They are not to be ignored. On the one hand, the grandfather since the inheritance of the family style, the second is to look outside a kind of anger. The first is to take over the family style inherited from the grandfather, and the second is to look out of it with a kind of anger.

13, do not camp Chinese houses, do not seek good land.

14, but thrift can help clean, but forgiveness can become virtue.

15, if everything is hard to think and ask good questions, why not one day a thousand miles?

16, the words: deliberately pay attention, is the work of the first.

17, I see the world without teaching and love, every can not be, food and drink, want to do what they want, it is appropriate to caution over the award, should be heck to laugh, to the knowledge, said the law when it is. Pride has been practiced, the party copied, tattooed to death without authority, anger and increase the grudge, caught in the growth, and ultimately the defeat of virtue. Confucius cloud: "less into if nature, habit as natural." Is also. Proverb: "Teach women to come, teach children infants." Sincerely.

18, gas: gas hidden in the dantian, nothing that can not be said to others.

19, self-consecration must be frugal, banquets do not linger.

20, it is advisable to save for a rainy day, do not dig a well before the thirst.

21, people's love of children, rare can also be even, since ancient times and now, this is a lot of evil. The wise and handsome people can appreciate love, stubborn Lu also should be sympathetic. There are partial favorites, although the desire to thick, more so the scourge. Qi dynasty has a scholar, said I said: "I have a child, the year has been seventeen, quite know the book, teach its Xianbei language and play the pipa, a little bit of understanding, so that ambulance Secretary, no favor, but also important things." I bent down and did not answer. Different, this person's teaching son also! If this industry from the Secretary, also do not want you Cao for it.

22, where many people hope that their children and grandchildren for the big officials, I do not want to be a big official, but would like to read for the gentleman of reason. Diligent and thrifty self-sustaining, practicing hard work, you can be happy, you can be about. This is also a gentleman. Where wealth and fame, all have destiny, half by manpower, half by heaven. But learning to be a sage, all by themselves, do not interfere with the fate of heaven.

23, three joys: hard work and rest, a joy; to light to eliminate jealousy, two joys; reading sound out of the gold and stone, three joys.

24, where people can not teach their children, nor do they want to trap their sins, but heavy in the heck of anger hurt their colors, can not bear to Chu tart miserable skin ear. When the disease for the Oracle, can not use the soup needle Ai save it? And it is appropriate to think about the diligent supervision and training, can be harshly abused in the flesh and blood? It's a good idea!

25, for the teacher when strict and constant.

26, father and son of the strict, can not be intimate; flesh and blood of love, can not be simple. Simple charity and filial piety, apathy is not born.

27, the upper wisdom is not taught to become, although the lower fools teach no benefit, the mediocre people, do not teach not know. Ancient saint king, there is a "fetal teaching" of the law, pregnant with children in March, out of the living in a separate palace, the eye does not evil vision, the ear does not listen to the sound of taste, to the rituals of the festival. The book of the jade plate, hidden in the Golden Pavilion. Born son of coughing, the division Paul Gu Ming filial piety, benevolence, etiquette and righteousness, guide to learn. Where the people can not be, when the baby and child to know people's colors, know people's likes and dislikes, they will be taught, so that for is for, so that stop is stopped, than and a few years old, can save flogging and punishment. Parents are strict and compassionate, the children fear prudence and filial piety carry on.

28, the history of the former sage country and home, into by hard work and thrift broken by luxury.

29, get up early: dawn that is, after waking up, do not dip love.

30, where a family, diligence and respect for the word can keep a few points, there is no no rise; if all without a point, there is no failure. And the word can keep a few points, there is no unhinged; not and there is no undefeated. The younger brothers try in the countryside will be these three words in the relatives of the family calendar check, will be my words are not wrong.

31, the night does not go out: absent work fatigue God, cut the ring cut the ring!

32, three nuns and six women, the real medium of prostitution; maidservant beauty concubine, not the blessing of the boudoir.

33, children and nephews in addition to reading, teaching to sweep the house, wipe tables and stools, collecting dung, hoeing, is a very good thing, do not think that there is a loss of frame and not to do.

34, since the military rise, every see people have a material and a skill, can withstand hardship, all see used for people, see called at the time; its absolutely no material and skill, not accustomed to labor; are to see the abandonment of the time, starvation and freezing on the death. Therefore, diligence is life, escape is premature; diligence is material and see use, escape is incompetent and see abandonment; diligence is Boji Smin, and God only admire, escape is not complementary to the people, and the gods and ghosts are not pleased. The gentleman who wants to be the basis for people and gods, is not more important than the practice of hard work.

35, the day to know their deaths: each diary after tea occasionally talk about one. Sub virtue door, learning door, economic door, art door.

36, utensils quality and clean, tile percussion better than gold and jade; food and drink about and fine, garden vegetables more delicacies.

37, take the degree, with the section, is often enough.

38, dawn that is up, sweeping the court, to be inside and outside the neat; both dim will rest, lock the door, must personally check.

39, the brothers read at home, do not examine how to work every day? Since the first of October, I have been determined since the new, although lazy as usual, and daily regular script writing diary, daily reading history of ten pages, each diary tea occasionally talk about one of these three things have not tasted a day interruptions. October 21 vowed to never quit eating hookah, Cook has been two months without cigarettes, has become a natural habit. I have a lot of self-established courses, but the record of tea time conversation, reading history ten face, write a diary Kai Ben, these three people vowed to life uninterrupted. The brother of each self-supporting courses, must have day-to-day success, although walking on the boat, all must be brought to the side, in addition to these three things, other courses do not have to be able to achieve, and these three things. Will be lifelong.

40, the gentleman to thrift virtue to open up difficult. (geyan123)

41, do not seek too fierce, but seek constant.

42, reading is not two: a book is not finished, not to see other books, east and west reading, in vain outside for the people, every day to ten leaves for the rate.

43, the way of learning is infinite, but always with the main constant.

44, sit quietly and think, the heart is smooth, must be to the "status of the sky, everything is fertile" field place well; silent sitting and think, this heart must always be full of vitality. Ideas longing, how will be extremely sweep away? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that!

45, the feelings of all people, all good and evil labor, regardless of the noble and lowly, wise and foolish old and young, are greedy in the escape and afraid of labor, the ancient and modern is the same. The clothes that a person wears in a day, the food that they eat, and the things that they do in a day, and the strength that they use is commensurate with what they do, and then the people on the other side of the fence, and the gods and the spirits allow them to think that they are eating from their own strengths. If the farmers and weavers, year-round diligence, to become a few stones of corn, a few feet of cloth, and the rich and noble family, the year-round pleasure, do not operate a business, but food must be delicacies, clothing must be brocade, sound sleep, a call for a hundred promises, the world's most unfair things, the ghosts and gods are not allowed to, it can be a long time?

46, eight virtues: diligence, thrift, just, Ming, loyalty, forgiveness, humility, muddy.

47, worrying about the country can be, and hesitation can be killed.

48, as the word: half an hour after breakfast, where the pen and ink should be treated as their own homework, not to be left until tomorrow, the more accumulated the more difficult to clear.

49, reading history: C application for twenty-three history, read ten leaves a day, although something does not stop.

50, meditation: daily, regardless of when, sit quietly for half a time, experience the static pole of the sun to return to the heart of benevolence, the right place to condense life, such as the town of Ding.
