Human nature is evil, and the good are also false. Today's human nature, born with good and good, shun, so fight for life and give up death; Born with disease and evil, follow it, so thieves are born with loyalty to death; It is appropriate to be born with a desire for eyes and ears and a good sense of sound, so fornication is born with courtesy and righteousness. But from the perspective of human nature, obeying people's feelings will be divorced from competition, suitable for committing chaos and returning to violence. Therefore, there must be a way to learn the law, be polite and righteous, and then rule out resignation and be in line with the arts and sciences. From this perspective, human nature is evil and good is false. Therefore, Cornus officinalis will be straightened and then straightened; Blunt gold will be profitable and then profitable; Today's human nature is evil, which is bound to be followed by righteousness, courtesy and governance. It is dangerous and incorrect for people today not to follow suit. Rude and upright, you will be rebellious and incurable. The ancient holy king regarded human nature as evil, which was dangerous and incorrect. He thought it was a matter of courtesy and law, and it was correct to pretend to be human, and it was also guided by disturbing people's feelings. At first it was for treatment, and it was also suitable for Tao. Modern people learn the law, accumulate literature and be a gentleman; Those who are temperamental, self-educated, and violate etiquette and righteousness are also villains. From this perspective, human nature is evil and good is false. Mencius said, "Today's scholars are inherently good." Yue: No. It is better to know human nature, but not to observe the difference between human nature and falsehood. People who have sex are born, can't learn and can't do anything. People who are courteous and righteous, born of saints, and those who learn, act in moderation. Can't learn, can't do things, but in people, it's called sex; Those who can learn and do things are called fakes. This is the difference between sex and falsehood. Today's human nature can be seen with eyes and heard with ears; The husband can see clearly without leaving his eyes, listen attentively without leaving his ears, see clearly without listening, and learn clearly. Mencius said: "Today's people are good, and they all lose their sex." Say: if it is, it will be too much. Today's human nature, born from simplicity and capital, will be lost and lost. However, with this view, it is obvious that human nature is evil. The so-called good man is beautiful without leaving his simplicity, and beneficial without leaving his roots. Let her husband's capital be simple and beautiful, and her mind be kind. If the husband can see clearly without leaving his eyes, he can listen attentively without leaving his ears, so his eyes are bright and his ears are alert. Today's human nature, hunger is full, cold is warm, fatigue is rest, and this person's affection is also. Those who dare not eat first because they are known today will give in; People who work hard and dare not ask for interest will be replaced. The resignation of the master depends on the father, the resignation of the younger brother depends on the elder brother, the replacement of the son depends on the father, and the replacement of the younger brother depends on the elder brother. Both walkers are against sex and love. However, filial piety is also the art of propriety and righteousness. Therefore, if you have compassion, you won't give up, and giving up is contrary to your feelings. From this perspective, human nature is evil and good is false. The questioner said, "Human nature is evil, and propriety and righteousness are evil?" It should be said that people who are polite and righteous are born of the vanity of saints, not human nature. Therefore, Taoists are embarrassed to make tools, but tools are born out of the vanity of Taoists, not from human nature. Therefore, workers are made of wood, but utensils are born in vain, not human nature. Sages think, learn from fallacies and judge by courtesy, but those who judge by courtesy are born from sages' fallacies, not from human nature. If the husband has lustful eyes, good ears, good mouth, good heart and good skin care, it is natural human nature; Feeling is natural, and people who don't wait for things are epigenetic. A person who feels that he can't do it, but must wait until something happens, is said to be born in fallacy. It was born in sexual delusion, and it was different. Therefore, the sage falsifies, imitates the ritual, and the ritual gives birth to the legal system; However, people who are polite and righteous are born of saints. Therefore, saints are different because they are different. Therefore, everything that is different from others is fake. A man who wants what he wants is also affectionate. If there are brothers who share wealth, they are compassionate and desirable. If there is, the brothers will take it away; And the arts and sciences of propriety and righteousness, if it is, let China people carry it forward. So, if you are compassionate, your brothers will fight, if you are polite, you will let the people. There are good and evil desires of mortals. The husband is thin and willing to be thick, the evil is willing to be beautiful, the narrow is willing to be wide, the poor is willing to be rich, and the humble is willing to be expensive. If there is nothing in it, he will look outside. Therefore, if you have money, you don't want to be rich, and if you are expensive, you don't want to be rich. From this perspective, people's desires can be divided into good and evil. Today's human nature is rough, so learning and seeking something is also strong; Sex is impolite, and it is also worth thinking about and learning. However, if it's just sex, then people are rude and don't know manners. Those who are rude and take justice are chaotic, and those who don't know etiquette are rebellious. However, just sex is self-defeating. From this perspective, human nature is evil and good is false. Mencius said, "Human nature is good." Yue: No. All so-called good people in ancient and modern times should be treated fairly and peacefully; The so-called evil people are prone to danger and chaos: there are also good and evil. If we treat evil sincerely with human nature, then there will be the evil use of the holy king and the evil use of courtesy and righteousness. Although there is a holy king's courtesy, is it right to add the body to talk.an excellent course? Otherwise, human nature is evil Therefore, the ancient sages thought that people were dangerous and unjust, rebelled and died. Therefore, they set up a monarch to face it, make it clear, make it clear, start legal treatment, ban heavy sentences, and make the world better. It is the rule of the holy king and the transformation of etiquette and righteousness. Now it is time to try to get rid of the arrogance of the monarch, to be rude and just, to rule by law and justice, to rely on and watch the relationship between the people of the world without punishment. If it is, the husband will take it away, the public will be violent and arrogant, and the world will die in chaos, and it will not wait for a while. However, in this view, human nature is evil and clear, and human nature is good and false. So it was good in the past, and there are festivals today; Those who speak well of heaven will certainly seek help from others. Everything said is worth distinguishing and verifying. Therefore, in terms of sitting, it can be set up and implemented. Today Mencius said, "Human nature is good." Sit down and talk too much, but it is impossible to set up and implement. So, if you are kind, go to the sage and rest. Malignant is related to the holy king, which is expensive and positive. Therefore, the life of a cockroach is also a eucalyptus tree; From the beginning of rope ink, it is not straight; Li Jun, Li Yi, inherent vice. However, in this view, human nature is evil and clear, and human nature is good and false. Straight wood is not equal, and its nature is straight. Dog wood must be straightened and then straightened because it is not straight. The viciousness of today's people must be governed by the holy king, and the ceremony and righteousness will be transformed, and then it will begin with governance and be suitable for goodness. From this perspective, human nature is evil and good is false. The questioner said, "It is human nature to accumulate vanity, propriety and righteousness, and only saints can be born." Answer: Yes or no, Taoism is born with tiles, but tiles are not the nature of Taoism. Workers are born with wood, but is wood really the nature of workers? The sage is out of courtesy and righteousness, and the sage is out of pottery. However, it is human nature to accumulate fakes in courtesy and righteousness! Human nature, the foot of Yao and Shun, the foot of Jie, its nature is also; A gentleman is like a villain. Today, we will pile up false humanity with courtesy? However, there are expensive Yuyao and expensive gentlemen! Anyone who is a gentleman of Yao, change his nature, be vain, and be born with courtesy. But the sage is also a fool of courtesy and righteousness, and it is still shameful to do it. However, from this point of view, it is not human nature for those who accumulate falsehood in courtesy and righteousness! Those who are inferior to villains, by their nature, are happy-go-lucky, greedy and enjoy themselves. The old man's nature is evil and clear, but good and empty. Heaven is not private. I am very filial to myself and everyone. However, if I have been filial to myself, it is all in the name of filial piety. It is also a matter of courtesy and righteousness. Heaven is not the private people of Qilu, but also the people of Qin. But in the sense of father and son, the difference between husband and wife is not as good as Qilu's filial piety. Emotionally, it is different from Qin people, who are suitable for education and slower than etiquette. "The person who paints can be Yu." What do you mean? Yue: Anyone who is Yu is regarded as a righteous person. But benevolence, righteousness and law all have the principle of knowing the possibility. However, all people who paint have the qualities of knowing and understanding righteousness, and all have the tools to understand righteousness, but they can become Yu Ming. Benevolence, righteousness, and law are solid, and there is nothing that cannot be known. However, I don't know righteousness, and I can't be righteous. Will the discredited people fail to know the quality of benevolence and righteousness, but fail to do the evil of benevolence and righteousness? And those who daub it can't know the meaning of father and son inside and the meaning of monarch and minister outside. Not today. The painter can know the meaning of father and son inside and the meaning of monarch and minister outside, but the painter knows the quality and tools he can have. Today, people who paint people can be endowed with knowable qualities and skills, and they can know the possible principles and skills of benevolence, righteousness and righteousness, but it can be Yu Ming. Today, the person who painted it is studying, focusing on one purpose and thinking about what to observe. If they continue to accumulate goodness for a long time, they will be connected with the gods and participate in heaven and earth. Therefore, saints are the product of human beings. He said: "saints can accumulate, and none can accumulate." Why? " You can, but you can't. Therefore, the villain can be a gentleman, but not a gentleman; A gentleman can be a villain, not a villain. Villains and gentlemen can do the same thing, and people who don't do the same thing can do the same thing. Therefore, the painter can be Yu, so it is natural; It is not inevitable that the painter can be redundant. Although it can't be Yu, it can be Yu. Enough to travel around the world, but no one has traveled around the world. A husband, a craftsman and a farmer can do things for each other, but they can do things for each other. In this way, yes, but not necessarily; Although it can't, it can be harmless. However, whether it is possible or not is far from clear. Yao asked Yu Shun, "What about human feelings?" Shun said to him, "human feelings are not beautiful, so why ask more questions?" A wife is filial to her relatives, lustful to her friends and loyal to her husband. Human feelings! Human feelings! What is not beautiful, why ask more! Only the wise are not. " There are saints, gentlemen, villains and servants. If you talk too much, you will always say why. There are thousands of changes in writing, and the knowledge of saints is one of them. If you talk less, you will save yourself. Just tell the law. His words are flattering, his actions are contradictory, and his actions are even more regrettable: they are the insights of villains. Giving is sensitive and classless, but giving miscellaneous energy is useless. Only by analyzing the essence of speed and not worrying, not caring about right and wrong, not caring about right and wrong, can we win the favor of others, which is also the knowledge of servants. There are brave, there are brave, there are brave. There is something in the world, dare to be straight; The late king had a way and dared to do whatever he wanted; Troubled times don't follow the king, troubled times follow the people; There is no poverty in the place of benevolence, and there is no wealth in the death of benevolence; If the world knows it, it wants to share joys and sorrows with the world; If the world doesn't know, it is independent from heaven and earth and fearless: it is brave. Ritual and frugality, loyalty and faith, light goods and wealth; Sages dare to push it, unscrupulous people dare to help it, and abolish it: it is courage. Light skin and heavy hands, be lenient with others, regardless of right or wrong, in order to win the favor: it is brave. Numerous weak, huge and ancient good bows; However, if you can't eliminate it, you can't correct yourself. Huan Gong's green onion, Taigong's Bian Que, Wang Wen's record, Zhuang Junmeng, He Lv's lieutenant, Mo Xie, Suzaku and Green are all good swords in ancient times; However, without hard work, there will be no benefit, and without manpower, it will not be broken. Huayi, Xiji, Li Xian and Green Ear were all good horses in ancient times. However, there must be a title system before, and then there will be backbone. In addition, with Zaofu's driving, you can walk thousands of miles in one day. Although a lady is beautiful in nature and knows her heart, she will definitely seek a wise teacher and do things, and choose a good friend as her friend. If you get a sage and do things, you will smell the way of Yao Shunyu soup; If you have a good friend, you will be loyal and respectful to the people you see. Those who advance in righteousness and don't know it are also unwilling to do so. Today, if you are unkind to others, the people you hear will cheat, the people you see will be filthy and greedy, and you will be punished unconsciously. Sichuan said, "I don't know if my son regards his friend, and I don't know if my husband regards his left and right." Just boring! Just boring!

Full text translation:

Human nature is evil, and good behavior is artificial. Human nature, born with a love for money and interests, is obedient to this kind of human nature, so the struggle for plunder arises, and resignation and humility disappear; Born with jealousy and hatred, I succumbed to this human nature, so killing and framing came into being and loyalty disappeared; From birth, there is an instinct for the beauty of music and obedience to this human nature, so fornication arises and etiquette disappears. From this point of view, indulgence of human nature and obedience to human lust will inevitably lead to competition and plunder, and will inevitably merge with acts that infringe on rank titles and disrupt etiquette and justice, and eventually tend to riot. Therefore, it is necessary to have the enlightenment of the teacher's law and the guidance of courtesy and righteousness, so that talents will start from refusing to be humble and obeying the etiquette, and eventually tend to be stable and peaceful. From this point of view, it is obvious that human nature is evil and good behavior is man-made. Therefore, the bent wood must be fumigated and corrected by a fumigator before it can be straightened; Metal utensils that are not sharp must be sharpened by grinding. The evil of human nature can only be corrected by the education of teacher's law and cured by the guidance of courtesy and righteousness. Without teachers and testimonies, people will be devious, sinister and incorrect; If you have no manners, you will rebel, and if you don't keep order, you will make trouble. Ancient wise kings believed that human nature was evil and that people were deviant, sinister and rebellious, so they established etiquette and statutes for them, forcibly rectified people's temperament, corrected it, tamed and influenced people's temperament, and guided them. So that they can all proceed from observing order and conform to correct moral principles. Nowadays, people who can be influenced by the teachings of teachers, accumulate classical knowledge of literature and abide by etiquette and righteousness are gentlemen; Those who indulge in willfulness, indulge in wanton debauchery and violate etiquette and justice are all villains. From this point of view, it is obvious that human nature is evil and good behavior is man-made. Mencius said: "What people want to learn is the kind of goodness of nature." I said: this is not right. This is a saying that we haven't understood human nature yet. We don't know the difference between the innate and acquired white people. Nature is made by nature, impossible to learn and artificial. Etiquette and righteousness are created by saints, and only those who have studied and worked hard can do it. What people can't learn and what people can't build is called nature; What people can learn and do through hard work is called human behavior; This is the difference between innate nature and acquired artificial. That person's nature, eyes can be used to see, ears can be used to hear. The eyesight that can be used to see things cannot be separated from the eyes, and the hearing that can be used to hear sounds cannot be separated from the ears. Obviously, the eyesight of the eyes and the hearing of the ears cannot be learned. Mencius said: "human nature is good, and its evil deeds must be due to the loss of nature." I said: this explanation is wrong. Mencius' so-called good nature means beauty without leaving quality and feeling good without leaving qualifications. The relationship between talent and beauty, the relationship between mind and kindness, just as the vision of seeing things can not be separated from the eyes, and the hearing of hearing can not be separated from the ears. Therefore, the beauty of qualification and the goodness of mind are just like the eyesight of eyes and the hearing of ears. If human nature is born from his qualities and qualifications, it will certainly lose its beauty and kindness. From this perspective, it is obvious that human nature is evil. Those who are good at talking about ancient times must have verification of modern times; People who are good at chatting must be fulfilled for personnel. All arguments are valuable because they can be tested like behaviors and symbols. So sit and talk, stand up and you can arrange it, and you can implement it when you promote it. Now Mencius says: human nature is good, and there is no evidence to prove it. Sit and talk, stand without making arrangements, stand without giving out, and cannot be implemented. Isn't this very wrong? If you think that human nature is good, get rid of the wise emperor and cancel the etiquette; If you think that human nature is evil, then you will support a wise emperor and respect propriety and righteousness. The shaper is produced because of the curved wood; The appearance of ink-line Mo Dou is because there is something wrong; It is because of the evil nature of human nature that the monarch is established and the ceremony is manifested. From this point of view, it is obvious that human nature is evil and good behavior is man-made. Straight wood is straight without a shaper, because it is straight by nature. Curved wood must be fumigated and corrected by a shaper before it can be straightened, because its nature is not straight. The viciousness of human beings must rely on the governance of wise emperors and the education of etiquette and righteousness, so that all of them can proceed from observing order and reach the standard of kindness. From this point of view, it is obvious that human nature is evil and good behavior is man-made. Someone asked, "human nature is to accumulate human factors and formulate etiquette, so saints can create etiquette." Answer him: this is not right. Pottery workers mix soil to produce pottery. Is it the nature of a Potter to make clay into pottery? Woodworkers cut wood to make utensils, so is it the nature of carpenters to make utensils with wood? For example, a saint is like a Potter stirring mud to make pottery, so is it human nature to accumulate human factors and formulate etiquette? All human nature, clever Yao Shun and cruel Jie Li and wisdom are the same; A gentleman with morality and a villain without behavior are essentially the same. If it is human nature to accumulate human factors and formulate etiquette, then why should Yao and Yu be respected and why should gentlemen be respected? Generally speaking, people should admire Yao, Yu and Gentleman, because they can change their own nature, and after human efforts, they have produced courtesy; In this case, the sage made a ritual to accumulate human factors, just like a Potter stirs and rubs clay to produce pottery. From this perspective, what is humanity when people accumulate human factors and formulate etiquette? People look down on Jie, Zhi and Xiao because they indulge their own nature, obey their own passions, and are used to wanton debauchery, so that they commit atrocities of greed and competition. Therefore, people's viciousness is obvious, and good behavior is artificial. God does not favor Zeng Shen, Min Ziqian and Xiao Ji and abandon everyone, but only Zeng Shen, Min Ziqian and Xiao Ji enrich the actual content of filial piety and fulfill the good name of filial son. Why? Because they try their best to observe etiquette. God did not favor Qilu people and abandon Qin people, but Qin people were not as filial, respectful and serious as Qilu people in terms of courtesy and righteousness between father and son and the difference between husband and wife. Why? Because Qin people are self-indulgent, used to wanton debauchery and neglect etiquette, what are their differences in nature? "Ordinary people can also be redundant on the road. How to explain this? " A: Generally speaking, Yu became Yu because he can practice the law of benevolence and righteousness. In this case, the law of benevolence and righteousness can be understood and realized, and ordinary people on the road are also qualified to understand the law of benevolence and righteousness, and they all have the talent to do so; In this case, it is obvious that they can be more than. If we think that the laws of benevolence and righteousness have no nature that can be understood and practiced, then even Yu Can can't understand and practice them. If people on the road are not qualified to understand the law of benevolence and righteousness, nor are they capable of doing it, then people on the road cannot understand the etiquette between father and son, nor can they understand the rules between monarch and minister. Actually, it's not. Nowadays, people on the road can understand the etiquette between father and son, but they can understand the rules between monarch and minister. Then, it is obvious that those who can understand the qualifications of benevolence and righteousness and can do it exist in people on the road. If people on the road now master the essence of understanding and doing justice with their talents of understanding and doing justice, then obviously, they can become. If people on the road now believe in Taoism, concentrate on it, think seriously, explore it, persevere day after day, and accumulate good deeds, then they can reach the gods and stand side by side with heaven and earth. Therefore, saints are the achievements of ordinary people who accumulate good deeds. Some people say: "saints can achieve by accumulating goodness, but ordinary people can't accumulate goodness." Why? " Answer: Yes, but they can't be forced to do it. A villain can be a gentleman but not a gentleman, and a gentleman can be a villain but not a villain. Villains and gentlemen may not be able to do things together, but they don't do things together because they can but can't force them to do it. Therefore, ordinary people on the road can become redundant, which is right; Everyone on the road can be Yu, which is not necessarily right. Although no one can become Yu, it does not prevent him from becoming Yu. Feet can travel around the world, but no one can travel around the world yet. Artisans, farmers and businessmen can do things interchangeably, but no one can do things interchangeably. From this perspective, it can be done, but it may not be done; Even if you can't do it, it won't hinder you. Then, can and can't, the two are very different, obviously can't switch each other. Yao asked Shun, "What is human nature?" Shun replied: "Human nature is evil, why ask more?" With a wife and children, filial piety to parents is weakened; When hobbies and desires are satisfied, the trustworthiness of friends is weakened; When the salary of the title is satisfied, the loyalty to the monarch is weakened. Human nature! Human nature! It's not good. Why ask? Only people with high moral character will not do this. "There are sages' wisdom, gentlemen's wisdom, villains' wisdom and slaves' wisdom. He talks a lot, but he conforms to etiquette, justice and statutes. He talks about his truth all day long, quoting allusions when he talks, and his laws and regulations are always the same. This is the wisdom of a saint. Not many words, but straightforward and concise. It's like supporting it with ink lines. This is the wisdom of a gentleman. His words are flattering, but his actions are contrary to what he said. He often regrets what he has done, which is the wisdom of a villain. Speak quickly but not excessively, with complex skills, generality and uselessness, analyze problems quickly, choose words and make sentences skillfully without doing anything, don't ask right and wrong, don't talk about right and wrong, and hope for others. This is the wisdom of a slave. There are first-class brave, middle-class brave and inferior brave. The world has the right path and dares to stand up and defend it; Ancient holy kings were handed down from the right path and dared to carry out their principle spirit; Troubled times don't follow the monarch, and troubled times don't mess with the people; Where benevolence exists, we don't care about poverty and poverty, and where benevolence is lost, we don't want to be rich and expensive; Everyone knows him, and he will share joys and sorrows with everyone; The world doesn't know him, so it stands between heaven and earth without fear: this is first-class courage. Polite, courteous, modest, above money, dare to recommend talented people and put them in high positions, and dare to remove unscrupulous people: this is the courage of the mean. Look down on your own life, value money, and don't care about getting into trouble and avoiding guilt in many ways; Whether true or false, right or wrong, it is my wish to surpass others: this is the courage to feel inferior. It's a good bow in ancient times. But if you can't get the correction of the appliance, you won't straighten yourself. Qi Huangong's green onion, unique que, unique record, unique Meng, unique He Lv's general, unique ju que and green are all good ancient swords. But it won't be sharp without grinding, and it can't be cut without manpower. Huaxiang,, and Yi were all good horses in ancient times. However, it must be controlled by the drill and the reins, threatened by the whip, and controlled by the algae. Even if a person is well qualified and good at distinguishing and understanding, he must find a talented teacher to serve him and choose friends with both ability and political integrity to associate with him. If you get a talented teacher to serve him, then what you hear is the right path of Yao Shun Yu Tang; If you get friends with good moral integrity and associate with them, what you see is loyalty, trustworthiness, respect and humility; He unconsciously entered the realm of benevolence and righteousness day by day, which was caused by external contact. If you get along with people who are morally corrupt, what you hear is deception and lies, and what you see is filth, meanness, lewdness and evil, and greed for money. You will be punished and killed without realizing it. This is also the reason why he became like this because of external contact. The ancient book says, "If you don't know your son, look at his friends. If you don't know your monarch, look at the people around him.". "This is just the contact with the outside world. Just outside contact.
