In order to guard against thieves who pry boxes, pick out pockets and open cabinets, it is necessary to tie knots, strengthen bolts and lock keys. This is what most people call smart. But once the robber came, he ran away with his chest, box and pocket on his back, for fear that the knot, bolt and key were not strong enough.
In this case, the so-called cleverness in the past was not to accumulate reserves for thieves. So I tried to discuss this situation. Is there a so-called smart person in the world who doesn't accumulate property for thieves? Are there any so-called saints who don't guard property for thieves?
how do you know At that time, the neighboring villages and towns in Qi were far apart, and the voices of chickens and dogs were endless. In Fiona Fang, the water surface covered by fishing nets and the land cultivated by plows and hoes are more than 2,000 miles. Throughout the country, all places used to set up ancestral temples and state institutions, all places used to set up administrative institutions at all levels, such as cities, prefectures, towns and villages, are not imitating the practices of ancient saints!
However, when Tian Chengzi killed the monarch of Qi State, he stole the whole Qi State. He stole, robbed, is such a Qi State? Along with all kinds of wise laws there, they were robbed. Although Tian Chengzi has a reputation as a thief, he is still as stable as Yao Shun. Small countries dare not criticize him, and big countries dare not crusade against him, stealing from generation to generation.
So, isn't this the theft of Qi and the wise laws and regulations there to protect him as a thief? So I tried to discuss this situation. Is there a so-called wise man in the secular world who doesn't save money for thieves? Are there any so-called saints who don't defend property for thieves?
how do you know Once upon a time, dragons and phoenixes were beheaded, Bigan was cut open, Changhong was cut out, and Zixu was left in the river to rot. Even talented people like the above four people are still not spared from being killed. So, the disciple who stole his feet asked him, "Are there rules and standards for being a robber?"
The thief replied, "Where can you be Fiona Fang without rules?" It is unswerving to speculate on what property is stored in the house out of thin air; The first person to enter the house is brave; Finally out of the house, this is friendship; It is wisdom to know whether you can take action; Fair distribution afterwards, this is kindness. No one in the world can become a thief without the above five points. "
From this point of view, good people don't know the way of saints and can't achieve their careers. Private wine doesn't know the way of saints and can't steal. There are fewer good people and more bad people in the world, so saints bring less benefits and more disasters to the world. Therefore, when the lips open outward, the teeth will get cold, and the wine offered by Lu Hou will be weak, leading to the siege of Handan, the capital of Zhao State.
When saints appear, thieves rise. Only by attacking the saints and releasing thieves can the world be peaceful. When the stream dries up, the valley is particularly empty, and when the hills level the deep pools, it is particularly full. When a saint dies, thieves will never rise again, and the world will remain peaceful.
The thief won't stop until the sage dies. Even if the whole society is allowed to reuse saints to govern the world, then this is the greatest benefit of stealing feet. Give the world a bucket and a welcome to measure the number of items, and then steal them together with the bucket and a welcome; Give the world a scale and a beam to weigh things, and they will be stolen together with the scale and the beam.
Make symbols and seals for the world to win people's trust, and then steal with them; Formulating benevolence and righteousness for the world to regulate people's morality and behavior, then it will be stolen together with benevolence and righteousness. how do you know Those who steal small things like hooks are punished and killed, and those who steal the whole country become princes.
Benevolence and righteousness only exist at the door of the princes. Isn't this stealing benevolence and wisdom? Therefore, those who follow thieves, occupy the position of princes, steal benevolence and righteousness, and gain the benefits of competition, balance and Fuxi, even if they are rewarded by high officials and generous people, even if they have the majesty of executing people, can not be encouraged.
These situations are very conducive to stealing feet, which cannot be banned. It is the fault of saints. Therefore, fish can't leave the deep pool, and the weapon of governing the country can't be shown to people casually. Those so-called saints are sharp tools to rule the world and cannot be used to express the world.
Therefore, saints abandon wisdom, thieves can stop; Abandoning jade destroys jade, and thieves disappear; Burning symbols destroys seals, and people are simple; Broken barrels and scales make people miserable; Only by destroying the saints in the world can the people talk about right and wrong.
Disturb the six laws, destroy all kinds of musical instruments, block Shi Kuang's ears, and let everyone in the world retain their original hearing; Eliminate decorative patterns, disperse colorful colors, stick to Zhu's eyes, and let everyone in the world retain their original vision; Eliminate hook arcs and ink lines, abandon compasses and rulers, and break workers' fingers, so that everyone in the world can retain their original intelligence.
Therefore, "the greatest ingenuity is as clumsy." Remove Zeng Shen and Shi? Loyalty, filial piety, Yang Zhu and Mo Zhai are eloquent, abandoning righteousness, and the virtue of the world can confuse unity. If everyone keeps their original vision, the world will not be destroyed; Everyone keeps their original hearing, so there will be no troubles in the world.
Everyone keeps his original intelligence, so there will be no chaos in the world; Everyone keeps his original nature, so there will be no evil in the world. What about Zeng Shen and Shi? Yang Zhu, Mo Zhai, Shi Kuang, Qigong and Lizhu all exposed and showed off their virtues and used them to confuse people all over the world. This is the reason why the three-knowledge method is useless.
Don't you only know Sheng De's age? Once upon a time, Rong, Da, Bo Huangshi, Zhong, Shi, Li Shushi, Xuan Yuan Shi, Xushi He, Zunlu Shi, Zhu Rong Shi, Fu Xi Shi, Shennong Shi, in those days, people recorded by tying ropes, regarded coarse rice as delicious, plain clothes as beautiful clothes, pure feelings as joy and pure feelings as happiness.
Neighboring countries look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other, and people don't talk to each other until they die. Times like this can be said to be true peace. Today, however, even the people have reached the point where they craned their necks and stood on tiptoe and said, "There are saints somewhere", so they hurried away with dry food, abandoned their parents at home, left the Lord's business outside and handed their footprints to the vassal's border.
The wheel tracks crisscross thousands of miles away, which is the fault of the ruler's pursuit of wisdom. Rulers are bent on pursuing wisdom, and if they don't take the right path, the world will be in chaos!
how do you know Bow crossbows, bird nets, arrows and mechanisms are much more ingenious, so birds can only fly in the air; Hook bait, fishing nets, fish cages and the like are much more ingenious, so the fish will only swim in the water; Grates, pens and nets are much smarter, and wild animals will only run around in the grass.
The situation has changed more, such as fraud, cunning, sophistry, hard white argument, disagreement, etc. Secular people will only be confused by sophistry. Therefore, the world is confused and chaotic, and the sin lies in being clever. So everyone in the world only knows to pursue what he doesn't know, but he doesn't know to explore what he already knows.
Everyone knows to criticize what he thinks is bad, but he doesn't know to deny what he recognizes, so the world is in chaos. So for the first half, it obscures the brilliance of the sun and the moon, for the second half, it dispels the essence of mountains and rivers, and for the middle half, it destroys the alternation of the four seasons. Even insects crawling on the ground and moths flying in the air have lost their original authenticity.
The pursuit of ingenious thinking has come to this! It has been like this since Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, abandoning many simple people and liking cunning flatterers; Abandon the indifferent and natural fashion and like to preach endlessly. The endless preaching has messed up the world!
Original text:
If you want to be on the defensive against thieves, thieves and thieves, you have to be blocked and fixed; This secular so-called knowledge also. However, when the thief arrives, he will be burdened with guilt, embarrassment and burden; I'm afraid it's not strong. However, the so-called knower in rural areas is not a thief.
So, try talking about it. Is there a saying that those who know in the world do not accumulate for thieves? So-called saints, and those who don't guard against thieves? How to know its evil? In the past, Qi confronted neighboring cities, and the voices of chickens and dogs heard each other. The cloth was laid by Wang Lan and the thorn was stabbed by Raylan, which was more than 2,000 miles. Within four years, have people who set up ancestral temples, prefectures, cities, prefectures, townships and Song ever tasted the taste of illegal saints?
However, once Tian Chengzi killed Qi Jun, he stole his country. Is the thief doing evil for the country alone? And then steal it in a divine way. Therefore, there is a thief's name, but in the security of Yao and Shun, small countries dare not punish, big countries dare not punish, and they are exclusive. Isn't it just stealing Qi, keeping a thief's body with his holy knowledge?
Try to talk about it. Is there a so-called worldly wisdom of not collecting money for thieves? The so-called most holy, and not for the thief? How to know its evil? In the past, every time I cut a dragon, it was drier than cutting it, and Changhong was awkward. Therefore, the sage of the four sons must be killed. So the disciples asked him, "Is there a way to steal?" The plantation said, "Why is there no evil?"
The husband's false intention is hidden in the room, and it is also holy; Be first, be brave; After leaving, righteousness also; Know whether, know also; Share equally and be kind. He who is unprepared can become a thief, and there is no such thing as a world. "From its point of view, a good man can't stand the sage's way, and he can't stand the sage's way; There are fewer good people and more bad people in the world, which is less beneficial to saints and more harmful to the world.
Therefore, the lips are cold and the teeth are cold, and Lu wine is thin around Handan, which is a thief of the holy life. Slap a saint, refuse a thief, and rule the world! Fuchuan is exhausted and the valley is empty, and Qiu Yi is deep and solid. When a saint dies, a thief can't afford it, and the world is for no reason. Saints never die, thieves never stop. It is important for saints to rule the world, so is stealing feet.
You measure it, you steal it; Call it to call it, and then call it to steal; Trust for fu, steal with fu; Just take it as righteousness and steal it as righteousness. How to know its evil? Whoever steals a hook will be punished, and the thief is a vassal, and the door of the vassal is benevolent. Is it stealing benevolence, righteousness and holiness and knowing evil?
Therefore, those who are driven by thieves, expose princes, steal benevolence and righteousness, and weigh the benefits of happiness, although they can be persuaded by the rewards of mysterious officials, they can be banned with axes. It is also a saint's fault that stealing soles of feet is forbidden. Therefore, as the saying goes, "fish can't get rid of the jade garden, and the sharp weapon of the country can't show people." A saint is a sharp weapon in the world, and it will rain tomorrow.
Therefore, the absolute saint abandons knowledge, and the thief is the only one; Jade destroys pearls, and thieves can't afford it; Burning symbols break the seal, while the people are simple; The struggle is balanced, but the people do not dispute; People can discuss the laws that violate the world's sacredness. If you disrupt the six methods, you will never hear the instrument, which will open your ears and make everyone in the world full of wisdom; Destroy the article, scattered five mining, glue from the eye of Zhu, and the world began to contain it. Destroy the hook rope and abandon the rules.
And people all over the world have their own intelligence. So: Clever is clumsy. Cut off Zeng Shi's trip, clip Yang Mo's mouth, abandon benevolence and righteousness, and the virtue of the world is the same. If the other party has his own knowledge, then the world will not succeed; If people are smart, the world is not tired; If people know what they know, the world will not be chaotic; People have their virtues.
The world is not quiet. Zeng, Shi, Yang, Mo,,, and others all put their virtues outside and use them to mess up the world, but the law is useless. I don't know the most virtuous world. In the past, there were Rong, Da, Bo Huangshi, Zhong, Shi, Xu Lishi, Xuanyuanshi, Xushi He, Zunlu Stone, Zhu Rong Stone, Fu Shi and Shennong.
People use it to tie a rope. I hope they can eat it, dress beautifully, enjoy its customs, be prepared for danger in times of peace, be opposite to neighboring countries, and smell the sound of chickens and dogs. People who don't communicate with each other will die of old age. If this is the time, it will be cured. Now it's time for the people to hang their necks and say, "A saint", who has the grain and aspirations, will abandon his family and take charge of foreign affairs.
The footprint is connected with the territory of the vassal, and it is so good that it travels thousands of miles. If you are sincere and you know it, there is no way, then the world will be in chaos! How to know its evil? Know more about her husband's bow, crossbow, dagger, yi and machine change, and the birds will be in chaos; If you know more about bait and waste your time, you will be confused with water. If you know how to cut, throw and smash, the beast will be in chaos.
Knowing that deception is becoming more and more poisonous, slippery and firm, and solving more and more problems of similarities and differences, then vulgar people are confused in argument. So every time there is chaos in the world, the sin lies in knowing. Therefore, the world knows what it does not know, but does not know what it knows; Everyone knows that he is not doing well, but they also know that he is not doing well. This is chaos. Therefore, it is contrary to the brightness of the sun and the moon, the essence of mountains and rivers, the application of the four seasons in the middle, the stupid insects and the arrogant things.
What a mess! Husband will be confused when he knows! From three generations ago, people who gave up their husbands were all kinds of people. Yuefu's service was indifferent and inaction, and Yuefu meant baa baa, baa baa messed up the world!
Extended data:
"Lou" means opening the box. The theme of this article is the same as horseshoe, but it is deeper and more direct than horseshoe. On the one hand, it strongly criticizes the so-called "benevolence and righteousness" of saints, on the other hand, it advocates abandoning all cultural wisdom and returning society to its original state. Advocating "abandoning knowledge" and returning to the original political views is the center of this paper.
This article profoundly exposes the hypocrisy of benevolence and righteousness and the darkness of society, pointedly points out that "those who steal the hook are punished, while those who steal the country are princes", but they can't see the way out of society, so they put forward the idea of "abandoning the saints and wisdom", abandoning the progress of social civilization and retrogressing to the primitive state of mankind. This is the negative side of Zhuangzi's social and political view.
