Source: Mencius and his disciples "Mencius Teng Wengong" during the Warring States Period.

Excerpt from the original:

Jingchun said, "Aren't Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi loyal men? Anger is the fear of the princes, and peace is the destruction of the world. "

Translation:

Jingchun said, "Aren't Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi really ambitious and accomplished men? When they were angry, the princes were afraid. When they are quiet, the world will be peaceful. "

Extended data:

The content of "wealth can't be lewd" is Mencius' refutation of Jing Chun's wrong remarks about gentlemen. Let's first look at the "target" refuted by the article, which is Jing Chun's point of view.

Jingchun thinks that Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi are courageous people. To this end, he asked Mencius: "Are Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi courageous people?" Aren't Gongsun Yan and Yi Cheung real men?

The implication is that Gongsun Yan and Yi Cheung are sincere to their husbands. Jing Chun put forward this view on the basis that Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi can influence the governors, "Anger makes the governors fear, and harmony makes the world perish". Anger leads to fear of governors, while silence leads to peace in the world. They are dignified and powerful and can control the current situation.

In view of Jing Chun's "debate" and "debate", Mencius first broke before standing, first refuted Jing Chun's wrong views, and then expounded what a real gentleman was.
