Chapter 29 "Zhuangzi Miscellaneous Pian Robber Zhi Twenty-ninth"

"Zhuangzi Miscellaneous Pian Robber Zhi Twenty-ninth" Confucius and Liu Xiaji were friends, and Liu Xiaji's younger brother was named Bandit Zhi.Robber Zhi had 9,000 soldiers, and he ran amok throughout the world, violating the feudal lords.The acupoints are pivotal households, driving people, cattle and horses, and taking people and women.Greedy and forgetting relatives, disregarding parents and brothers, not worshiping ancestors.In the towns that pass by, the big country guards the city, and the small country is protected, and the people suffer.Confucius referred to Liu Xiaji and said: "If a husband is a father, he must be able to teach his son; if he is a brother, he must be able to teach his younger brother. If a father cannot teach his son, and an elder brother cannot teach his younger brother, then there is no respect for father and son brothers." Mr. Jin, one of the most talented scholars in the world, my younger brother is a robber Zhi, who is harming the world, and Fu Neng teaches, and Qiu steals it as a shame. Please, Mr. Qiu, go and say it." Liu Xiaji said: "Mr. He must be able to command his son, and he who is a brother must be able to teach his younger brother. If the son does not obey the father's edict, the younger brother will not be taught by the elder brother. Although the master argues today, what will be the useless? Moreover, Zhizhi is a man, and his heart is like a surge. The spring, like the wind, is strong enough to distance the enemy, and enough to cover up wrongs. If you follow your heart, you will be happy, and if you go against your heart, you will be angry. Zigong is on the right, and goes to see Robber Zhi.

Robber Zhi is the sun of the mountain, and he is popular with people.Confucius got out of the car and went forward, and the visitor said: "Kongqiu, a Lu man, has heard of General Gao Yi, and I respect you again." The visitor enters the pass.Robber Zhi was furious when he heard that, his eyes were like stars, he put a crown on his hair, and said: "This is the clever puppet Kong Qiu of the Lu Kingdom, is he not evil? Tell me: You make words and make up words, falsely claiming literature and martial arts, and you are crowned with trees." The crown, with the threat of a dead ox, talks a lot, eats without plowing, clothes without weaving, wags his lips and tongue, knows right and wrong, and deceives the masters of the world so that the scholars of the world will not go against their roots and pretend to be filial brothers , and lucky enough to be a rich man. The son's crime is extremely serious, and he will return home! Otherwise, I will use the son's liver to benefit the day's meal."

Confucius Futong said: "Qiu was lucky to be in Ji, and wished to go under the curtain."Bandit Zhi said: "Envoy, come forward!" "Confucius rushed forward, avoided the mat and walked away, and then worshiped Robber Zhi. Robber Zhi was furious. He stretched out his feet with his sword and eyes, and his voice was like a tiger. He said: "Qiu come forward!If what you say is in line with my will, you will live, and if you go against my heart, you will die. " Confucius said: "Qiu heard that there are three virtues in the world: born and raised, beautiful and incomparable, young and old, high and low, and everyone speaks of it, this is the highest virtue; knowing the dimension of the world, being able to distinguish things, this is the middle virtue; being brave Courageous, gather the crowd and lead the army, this is the virtue. Ordinary people who have this virtue are enough to be called lonely in the south. The general has all three of them. He is eight feet and two inches long, with a bright face, lips like sharp pills, and teeth like Qibei. , the sound is Huang Zhong, and the name is Robber Zhi. Qiu steals the general ashamed and refuses to take it. The general intends to listen to the minister, and the minister invites Wu Yue in the south, Qilu in the north, Song Wei in the east, Jin and Chu in the west, and make him a general. A large city of hundreds of miles, a city of hundreds of thousands of households, respecting the generals as vassals, starting a new era with the world, dismissing soldiers, adopting younger brothers, and offering sacrifices to ancestors together. This is the journey of saints and scholars, and the wish of the world."

Robber Zhi said angrily: "Qiu, come forward! Those who can rule for profit and can remonstrate with words are the ears of ordinary people. Those who grow up beautiful now, and people are happy when they see them, are the virtues of my parents. Although Qiu does not praise me, I alone do not know evil? And I have heard that those who are good at praising others are also good at destroying them. Today, Qiu told me to use the people of the big city to rule me and to benefit the people. I am also a domestic animal, safe and long-lasting! The biggest city is bigger than the world. Yao and Shun ruled the world, but their descendants had no place to put an awl; Why is it evil? I have heard that in ancient times there were many animals and few people, so the people lived in nests to avoid them. They picked up oak chestnuts in the daytime and perched on trees in the evening, so they were called the people of Chaoshi. The people in ancient times didn’t know clothes In the summer, they accumulate more salaries, and in winter they raise them. Therefore, they are called the people who know how to live. In the age of Shennong, they lived when they lay down, and when they got up. The people knew their mothers, but they didn’t know their fathers. Woven and clothed, there is no intention of harming each other. This is the prosperity of virtue. However, the Yellow Emperor could not achieve virtue. He fought with Chiyou in the wild of Zhuolu, bleeding for hundreds of miles. Yao and Shun made a group of officials, and Tang released his master. , King Wu killed Zhou. Since then, he used the strong to punish the weak, and the many to tyrannize the few. Since Tang and Wu, they are all chaotic people. Today, the son cultivates the way of literature and martial arts, masters the debate of the world, and teaches future generations. Sewing shallow Dai, hypocrisy, in order to confuse the master of the world, and desire riches and honor. There is nothing greater than a thief, why does the world not call you a robber Qiu, but call me a robber Zhi? Make Zilu remove his dangerous crown, untie his long sword, and learn from Zi. All the people in the world say: Confucius can stop violence and prohibit wrongdoing. He is also a soldier. Above the east gate is what Zijiao can’t do. Zizi calls himself a talented scholar, a sage, and evil people, so he will be chased away from Lu, cut off in Wei, impoverished in Qi, surrounded by Chen Cai, and will not be allowed to be in the world. Zijiao Zilu. This trouble, the upper body does not think of the body, and the lower does not think of people. Is the way of the son worthy of evil? The highest in the world is the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was not yet virtuous, but he fought in the wild of Zhuolu and bleed for hundreds of miles. Yao is not merciful. Shun was not filial, Yu was partial, Tang released his lord, King Wu overthrew Zhou, and King Wen imprisoned Li. These six sons are the highest in the world. Whoever talks about them, they all use profit to confuse their truth and force their emotions, and their actions It is shameful. The so-called sages in the world: Boyi and Shuqi. Boyi and Shuqi resigned from the lord of the lonely bamboo, and starved to death on the mountain of Shouyang, and their flesh and blood were not buried. Shentu Di remonstrated and refused to listen. He threw the stone into the river and was eaten by fish and turtles. Jiezi pushed to Zhongye and cut his own share to eat Wengong. Wengong carried it on his back. Burnt to death. Wei Sheng and his daughter live under the beam. If the girl does not come, the water will not go away, and they will die while hugging the beam. These six sons are no different from those who throw a dog and run a hog, or those who beg for a ladle. They all die lightly. Those who don’t think about their own life to support life. The so-called loyal ministers in the world are none other than Prince Bigan and Wu Zixu. When Zixu sinks into the river, Bigan cuts his heart. Zixu and Bigan are not worth much. The reason why Qiu said about me is that if he told me about ghosts, I would not know; The son regards human feelings: the eyes desire to see the color, the ears desire to hear the sound, the mouth desires to detect the taste, and the ambition desires to be filled. People live to be a hundred years old, eighty in the middle life, and sixty in the next life. and the laugher,There are only four or five days in January.The sky and the earth are infinite, and there are times when people die.Using the tool of time, and entrusting it between infinity, suddenly it is no different from galloping through the gap.It cannot be said that those who have their will and support their life are not channelers.What Qiu said is what I have abandoned.Urgently go and return, no more words!Zi Zhidao is crazy and frantic, deceitful and hypocritical, it must be true, it is ridiculous! "

Confucius bowed again and walked away, went out to get into the car, and lost three times while holding on to the bridle. Going back outside Ludongmen, I met Liu Xiaji.Liu Xiaji said: "Today, it is empty. I haven't seen you for a few days. The chariots and horses are moving, so I can see Zhixie slightly?" Confucius looked up to the sky and sighed, "Yes!" Before?" Confucius said: "Of course. Qiu said that if you don't have a disease, you can moxibustion yourself. If you run away to feed the tiger's head and weave the tiger's beard, it is almost impossible to avoid the tiger's mouth!"

Zizhang asked Yu Mangoude and said: "If you don't do it, you don't believe it. If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. If you don't believe it, you will be disadvantaged. Therefore, you should look at the name and count the profit, and righteousness is true. If you abandon fame and profit, do the opposite. If you have a heart, you can't do nothing for a day!" Man Gou De said: "The shameless are rich, and the trustworthy are outstanding. Those who are famous and profitable are almost shameless and believe. Therefore, the name of the view is counted. Benefit, and believe in the truth. If you abandon fame and fortune, and turn your heart instead, then the behavior of husbands and scholars will embrace their heaven!" Zi Zhang said: "In the past, Jie and Zhou Gui were the sons of heaven, and they were rich in the world. Today it is called Zang Ju. : If you behave like Jie and Zhou, you will have an embarrassing look, and those who have a heart of disobedience will be despised by villains. Zhongni and Mo Di are poor people. Now it is said that the prime minister says that your son behaves like Zhongni and Mo Di. Then change Those who are easy to look, and who are called insufficient, are sincere and valuable. Therefore, if you are the emperor, you are not necessarily expensive; if you are poor, you are not necessarily cheap. The great robbers are the lords. The door of the lords, there are righteous men. In the past, Huan Gong Xiaobai killed his brother and took him into his wife, and Guan Zhong was a minister; Tian Chengzi often killed the king and stole the country, and Confucius accepted the money. If you talk about it, you will be cheap, and if you do it, you will be inferior. It is the feeling of words and deeds that conflicts in the chest, and it is not easy! Therefore, it is said: Which is evil and which is beautiful? Righteousness, old and young are disorderly. Five epochs and six generals, why is it different?" Man Goud said: "Yao killed the eldest son, Shunliu's mother and younger brother, is there a relationship between relatives? ?Wang Ji is suitable, Zhou Gong kills his elders, and the elders and children are in order? Confucianists are hypocritical, Mozi loves both, and the Five Dynasties and six are different? And the son is right for the name, and I am right for the profit. The reality of fame and fortune, It doesn't follow reason, and it doesn't follow Tao. I have no agreement with my son in a lawsuit, saying that a villain will die for wealth, and a gentleman will die for his name. The reason why he changes his feelings and changes his nature is different; even he abandons his actions and dies What you don't do is one. Therefore, it is said: Do not be a villain, but die to the heavens; do not be a gentleman, follow the principles of heaven. If it is wrong or straight, the appearance is the extreme of heaven. Look at the four directions and keep up with the news. If it is not, stick to it Round machine. Achievement alone means meaning, wandering with Tao. Going without turning, righteousness without success, doing what will be lost. Rich without going, making without martyrdom, abandoning to heaven. To choose one's eyes is the disaster of loyalty; to testify to one's father directly, one's tail is born and drowned, one is to suffer from one's faith; Baozi stands up to work, but Shenzi does not take care of oneself, which is a disaster of incorruptibility; Confucius does not see his mother, Kuangzi does not see his father, this is a loss of righteousness. , Those who are regarded as scholars by the words of the next generation will correct their words and do what they say, so they will obey their disasters and avoid their troubles."

Wuzu asked Yu Zhihe and said: "There is no one who does not want to be famous for profit. If he is rich, people will return to him, and if he returns, he will be inferior, and if he is inferior, he will be expensive. The husband sees the noble, so the way to live a long life in peace and happiness Yes. Today, I have no intention of doing it alone, and I don’t know enough to do evil? I know but I can’t do evil? So I don’t think it’s right? A man who thinks that a man who has passed away from the vulgar world is a man who has no master or righteousness, so he looks at the past and the present, and the distinction between right and wrong. With the vulgar world, go to the most important, abandon the supreme, and think it is what he does. This is why he talks about longevity and peace of mind The way of happiness is not far away! Miserable illnesses and joyful peace are not restricted to the body; dreadful fears and joyful joys are not restricted to the heart. Know what to do but not know what to do. Therefore, you are the son of heaven If you are rich in the world, you will not be free from trouble." Wuzu said: "A husband who is rich is not good for others. The poor and the beautiful look at the power, and what the man can't catch, the sage can't reach. The bravery of the hero and think Prestige and strength, adhering to people's knowledge and scheming as clear observation, because of people's virtues as virtuous, not to enjoy the country but to be strict like a father. Moreover, the husband's voice, color, and power are to others. It is human nature to avoid evil and never wait for a teacher. Although the world is not me, who can say no to it!" Zhihe said: "The actions of those who know, so move the people, do not violate their limits, and do not fight for what is sufficient. , Don’t seek because you don’t think so. Seek it because you don’t have enough. Fight around without thinking you’re greedy. Resign because you have surplus. Abandon the world and don’t think you’re honest. The reality of honesty and greed is not to force outsiders, but to be the measure of supervision. To be the son of heaven, one should not be proud of one's dignity; one should be rich in the world, one should not play tricks on one's people with one's wealth. Consider one's troubles, one's evil, one's harm to one's nature, so one should resign one's life and not accept one's honor, not one's reputation. Yao and Shun Emperor Yong is not benevolent to the world, and does not use beauty to harm life; good juan, Xu You won the emperor and did not accept it, it is not a false resignation, and does not use things to harm oneself. This is all about its benefits and resigning its harm, and the world is called If you are a virtuous person, you can have it, and it is not because of fame." Wuzu said: "You must keep your name, the body is bitter and sweet, and if you make a promise to support you to maintain life, you will also be sick and ill for a long time without dying." He said: "Peace is a blessing, and those who have more than enough to do harm, there is nothing else, but those who are rich. Today's rich people listen to the sound of bells, drums, and pipes, and enjoy the taste of grass, mash, and glutinous rice, so as to feel their meaning. If you forget your career, it can be said to be chaotic; if you are addicted to Feng Qi, if you go to Osaka with a heavy burden, you can be described as suffering; if you are greedy for money and comfort, if you are greedy for power, you can be exhausted; If you want to be rich and profit, so if you are full of ears and don't know how to avoid it, and if you don't give it up, it can be called humiliation; Suspicious of thieves, outside fear of bandits and robbers, inside surrounded by buildings and sparsely populated, outside not daring to go alone, it can be said to be fearful. These six, the most harmful in the world, are all forgotten and do not know. Seeking to exhaust one's nature and exhaust one's wealth is just to turn one day's day without a reason, and you can't get it. Therefore, the name of contemplation will not be seen, and the benefit of seeking will not be achieved. It is not confusing to strive for this with the exhaustion of the body!"
