It is extremely important to know what the sky has done and what people have done. He who knows heaven is born in heaven; Those who know what people are doing, support what they know and don't know with what they know, and those who don't die in middle age: it is the prosperity of knowledge. Although, there is a problem. The husband knows what to do before he acts, but he hasn't decided what to do yet. Do you know what I call the inhumanity of heaven? What happened to people?
There is real knowledge when there are real people. What is a real person? The real people in ancient times were not rebellious, successful or ignorant. If so, you will regret it, but you will not be complacent. If so, it is not difficult to climb high, without entering the water or the fire. Even those who know may be false to the Tao. Real ancient people, sleeping without dreams, feeling carefree, reluctant to eat, take a deep breath. The real person's breath is in the heel, and everyone's breath is in the throat. What gives in is full of words. People who think deeply are shallow. The real people in ancient times did not know how to live or die; Will it come out? , its distance; However, it has gone, but it has just arrived. Don't forget the beginning, don't ask for the end; Enjoy it and forget it, that is, don't donate Tao with your heart, and don't help heaven with people. Yes, just a real person. If so, its mind, its silence, its embarrassment; Sad as autumn, sad as spring, full of emotions and emotions, you can't know the extremes of things.
Therefore, saints can destroy the country without losing the hearts of the people by fighting; Li Ze gave everything, not for love. Therefore, Wu is not a saint; Have relatives, not benevolence; Time is unwise; If the interests are unreasonable, it is not a gentleman; If you lose your name, you are not a scholar; Death is not real, nor is it a servant. If foxes are not together, Guangwu, Boyi, Shu Qi, Ji Zi, Yu Xu, Ji He and Shen Tude, that is to serve others, be suitable for people, and not suitable for people who are suitable for themselves.
The real people in ancient times are righteous without friends, and they are not burdened if they are insufficient; It is not strong enough to be arrogant, but it is empty and not flashy; I like it, I like it, I have to like it! It is almost the same as entering my color, and it is almost the same as stopping my virtue; It's like this world! It is impossible to control it; Even if it seems closed, it is almost forgotten. Take punishment as the body, courtesy as the wing, knowledge as the time and virtue as the guide. Those who take punishment as the body are more than enough to kill; Those who take the ceremony as their wings walk in the world; People who take knowledge as their time are forced to do things; Take morality as a guide, talk to those who are full, but people really think hard. So one of its advantages is the same, and the other is the same. One is also one, and one is different. One is a disciple of heaven, and the other is a disciple of man. Heaven and man are unequal, so they are called real people.
2. Translation
Knowing what nature does and what people do has reached the acme of knowledge. To know what nature does is to know that things come from nature; To understand what a person has done is to cultivate and cultivate knowledge that his wisdom can't understand until he dies naturally, and never give up halfway. This is probably the highest level of understanding. Even so, there are still concerns. People's cognition must be based on evidence to determine whether it is appropriate, but the object of cognition is unstable. How do I know what I said is natural, not man-made? How do I know what I said is man-made and not natural?
Besides, only with "real people" can we have true knowledge. What is a "real person"? In ancient times, "real people" did not rely on the public to bully widows, did not rely on their own success to dominate others, and did not attempt trivial things. Such people don't regret missing opportunities, but they are not satisfied with seizing them. Such people climb high without trembling, get wet in the water and get hot in the fire. This can only be done if wisdom can reach the realm of the avenue. In ancient times, "real people" slept without dreaming, woke up without being sad, ate without seeking sweetness, and took a deep breath. The "real person" breathes by the foot root that touches the ground, while the average person breathes only by the throat. When people give in, words are swallowed in front of their throats, just like croaking. Those whose hobbies and desires are too deep have shallow natural wisdom. In ancient times, "real people" didn't know how to live happily or how to hate death. Born without joy, died without rejection; He left freely and came back freely. Don't forget where you come from, and don't seek where you are going. You are happy when you seize any opportunity. Forgetting life and death is like returning to your own nature. This is called not destroying the road with ideas and not helping nature with human factors. It's called a real person. Such a person, his heart has forgotten everything around him, his face is cold and calm, and his denomination is simple and rigorous; Cold as autumn, warm as spring, happy or angry as four seasons change nature, commensurate with external things, no one can detect the true meaning of his spiritual world.
Therefore, ancient saints used force to destroy the enemy without losing the hearts and minds of the enemy; Benefits and favors are widely used in the world, but not to favor anyone. People who are willing to associate and please foreign things are not saints; Preference is not "benevolence"; Waiting for opportunities, not saints; If you can't see the similarity and complementarity of interests, you can't be a gentleman; People who pursue fame and fortune and lose their nature are not men of insight; Losing his body is inconsistent with his own truth, and he is not a person who can serve the world. People like Hu Bukai, Guangwu, Boyi, Shu Qi, Ji Zi, Yu Xu, Ji He and Shen Tudi are all treated by people who treat the world, and are treated by people who treat the world comfortably, not people who can make themselves comfortable.
In ancient times, "real people" looked awkward but not reserved, as if they were inadequate but unbearable; Attitude is relaxed and natural, unique but not persistent and stubborn, broad-minded and vain but not flashy; Pleasure seems to be particularly happy, and every move seems to be inevitable! Appearance and pleasure make people like to be close, making people generous and willing to return; Broad tolerance is like a vast world! Self-satisfaction is never limited. Mianmiao seems to like to close himself up, but he seems to have forgotten what he wants to say in an absent-minded way. Take criminal law as the main body, etiquette as the wing, wait for the opportunity with the knowledge you have mastered, and abide by the law with morality. People who take criminal law as the main body are also generous and kind in killing people; People who take etiquette as their wings practice it in the world with the teaching of etiquette; People who use their knowledge to wait for opportunities are forced to do all kinds of things; Obeying the law with morality is like saying that anyone with feet can climb a hill, but people really think they are diligent walkers. So what people like is one, and what people don't like is one. Those same things are turbid, and those different things are turbid. Those same things are similar to nature, and those different things are similar to people. Nature and human beings can't be opposed or surpassed. People who know this are called "real people".
