The famous saying of Confucianism and Mencius: help more if you get the right way, and help less if you lose the right way (picture)

Mencius, an outstanding representative of Confucianism, is known as the "Asian Sage". His thought and Confucius thought are called the Confucian and Mencius Way.

-----Zhuge Changqing

Mencius, an outstanding thinker and educator in China.

Because of his in-depth study of Confucianism and promotion of innovation, he became a thinker second only to Confucius.

People praised Mencius as the sage next to Confucius and called him "the second sage".

Mencius is diligent and progressive, which is admirable. The story of Mencius' mother moving three times is the story of Mencius' reading when he was a child.

Mencius, the Han nationality, was born in Zou during the Warring States Period. The famous thinker and educator in ancient China, and the representative of Confucianism in the Warring States Period. Mencius and his disciples wrote the book Mencius.

Zhuge Changqing believed that Mencius had made great contributions to the inheritance, development and dissemination of Confucianism, especially that his thoughts had been deeply embedded in our culture, life and wisdom. Today's people should always be grateful for the silent dedication of Confucius, Mencius and other sages of all ages.

Mencius inherited and carried forward Confucius' thought, and became the second generation of Confucian masters after Confucius. It has a comprehensive and huge impact on the Chinese culture of later generations. It is called "the second sage", and together with Confucius, it is called "Confucius and Mencius".

Mencius (about 372 B.C. - about 289 B.C.), with the name of Ke and the name of Zi Yu, was born in Zou State (today's Zoucheng City, Shandong Province), and was a great thinker, educator and politician during the Warring States Period. One of the main representatives of Confucianism. It is a school of Confucianism.

In politics, he advocated that the law should precede the king and conduct benevolent government; Confucius is highly respected in theory.

Mencius is said to be the descendant of Meng Sun, an aristocrat of the State of Lu. The father's name is Ji, and the mother's surname is Zhang.

Mencius inherited and developed Confucius' thought, but compared with Confucius' thought, he added his own understanding of Confucianism, and some thoughts were also more extreme. He was honored as the second saint. His disciples recorded Mencius' words and deeds into a book called "Mencius", which is a collection of essays in the form of quotations. It is a compilation of Mencius' speeches, and is jointly compiled by Mencius and his disciples.

He advocated benevolent government and put forward the people-oriented idea of "valuing the people and despising the king". He traveled in Qi, Song, Teng, Wei, Lu and other countries, hoping to follow Confucius to carry out his own political ideas, which lasted more than 20 years.

Mencius has many famous aphorisms, which are still handed down to the world. Many books and websites have spread Mencius' thought widely, making Confucianism continue to show its brilliance. Zhuge Changqing has extracted some Mencius' famous sayings and shared them with those who are destined:

(1) There are many ways to help, but few ways to help. (Zhuge Changqing: This sentence of Mencius can be seen as a magic spell of the law of historical development. No matter a country, a group, or a person, they should comply with the law of heaven, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, benefit the society, and enjoy virtue, so that they can survive and develop for a long time. History has been repeating this mantra since ancient times.)

(2) Therefore, people must first work hard, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body and skin, empty their bodies, and disorderly their actions. Therefore, their patience has benefited them. (Zhuge Changqing: If you are a person who aspires to benefit the society, if you are a person who aspires to achieve, if you are an aspiring person, then recite this sentence, and recite it every morning and evening. You will suddenly become cheerful, have high morale, calm, no longer depressed and impatient, don't believe it? You can try it.)

(3) Riches and nobles cannot be obscene, poverty and lowliness cannot be removed, and power cannot be subdued.

(4) Life is what I want; Righteousness is what i want. You can't have both. You can't give up life and take righteousness.

(5) Born in sorrow, die in peace. (Zhuge Changqing: always keep alert, always reflect on your own mistakes, always learn to do good deeds and accumulate virtue for the benefit of society, and you will have supreme merit, and you will be rich and lucky.)

(6) If you are poor, you will be alone. If you are rich, you will help the world. (Zhuge Changqing: To be a man, you should learn from sages. In this way, you will always be a happy, perfect and progressive person.)

(7) The weather is not as favorable as the land, and the land is not as favorable as the people.

(8) I am old, and people are old; We are young, and we are young.

(9) I am good at cultivating my noble spirit

(10) No rules, no square. (Without compasses and rulers, you can't draw squares and circles correctly. Zhuge Changqing: There should be rules for everything. The PLA has three major disciplines and eight such rules, and the same is true for people. You should have your own rules. If you are a business owner and entrepreneur, rules are also very important in your business management. With rules, there is standardized management.)

(11) Right, then know the importance; Degree, and then know the length. (Only by weighing can you know the weight; only by measuring can you know the length.)

(12) People should not be shameless, shameless shame is shameless. (People can't be without shame. The shame of not knowing shame is real shame.)

(13) People can do something if they don't, and then they can do something. (Zhuge Changqing: You can only do something if you don't do something. You should learn to give up the unimportant things, choose the things you like, and then concentrate and go all out, and you will succeed.)

(14) Although there are things that are easy to be born in the world, they will be violent in one day and cold in ten days, but no one can survive. (Zhuge Changqing Hao: Even if there is a plant that is easiest to grow, it can't grow again after drying it for one day and freezing it for ten days. No matter what you do, you must have perseverance, and perseverance will make great achievements)

(15) Those who advance, their retreat speed. (Those who advance too fast will retreat too fast.)

(16) The official of the heart is thinking, thinking is getting, not thinking is not also. (Zhuge Changqing: The heart is an organ of thinking. It can only be obtained by thinking. It cannot be obtained without thinking. If you use your mind, be good at thinking and learning, you will leap forward.)

(17) He who speaks near and points far is good at speaking; Those who abide by the agreement and do charity are also good. The words of a gentleman are not to be taken down, but to be kept; A gentleman's defense is to cultivate his body and make the world peaceful. A man's disease leaves his field, but his field is the same as that of others. (Words with simple language and profound meaning belong to good words; using simple but influential methods belongs to good words. The language of a gentleman looks ordinary but contains deep morality; the integrity of a gentleman starts with self-cultivation to achieve peace in the world. The fault of ordinary people is that they put aside their own fields and do not plant them to cultivate others' fields - they are very strict with others, but they have little to bear.)

(18) Benevolence is invincible. (Zhuge Changqing: A virtuous man is invincible. If one can stop evil and do good and accumulate virtue, he will be lucky.)

(19) Jun Ren, Mo Buren; There is no injustice without justice; Jun Zheng, Mo Buzheng. (The monarch is benevolent, no one is unkind; the monarchism, no one is unjust; the monarch is upright, no one is unjust.)

(20) Those who enjoy the happiness of the people also enjoy their happiness; Those who worry about the people are also worried about their worries. (The people will take the happiness of the people as their own happiness, and the people will also take the happiness of the monarch as their own happiness; the people will take the sorrow of the people as their own sorrow, and the people will also take the sorrow of the monarch as their own sorrow.)

(21) It is not benevolent to kill an innocent person, and it is not righteous to take an innocent person. (It is inhumane to kill an innocent person; it is unjust to take it from someone who doesn't own it.)

(12) The wise are in office, and the capable are in office. (Make virtuous people occupy a certain position, and talented people hold a certain position.)

(13) Honor the wise and use their abilities. (Respect moral people, use competent people, and outstanding people have official positions.)

(14) The people are most important, the state is second, and the monarch is light. (The people are the most important, the state is the second, and the monarch is the least.)

(15) Everyone can be Yao and Shun. (Everyone can be a good man like Yao and Shun.)

(16) The lady will insult herself, and then others will insult her; The family will destroy itself, and then others will destroy it; The country will cut itself, and later generations will cut it. (A man must first take an insult from himself before others insult him; a family must first take an insult from itself before others destroy it; a country must first take an insult from itself before others attack it.)

(17) All disasters and blessings come from those who seek them. (Zhuge Changqing: There is no disaster or happiness that you didn't find yourself. It is the most important to stop evil and do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Good fortune is earned by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue)

(18) A gentleman never complains about the sky and never makes a fool of himself. (Zhuge Changqing: A gentleman does not complain about the sky, and does not blame strange people. First, it is useless. Second, it is better to act immediately, learn from teachers, learn from progress, stop evil and do good.)

(19) Those who are violent should not speak with others; He who abandons himself cannot do anything with others. (The person who harms himself cannot talk valuable words with him; the person who abandons himself (extremely irresponsible for himself) cannot make a valuable career with him.)

(20) Never be good at cultivating your mind. The best way to cultivate the mind is to reduce material desire

(21) Those who are respectful do not insult others, and those who are frugal do not rob others. (Those who respect others will not insult others, and those who are frugal will not rob others.)

(22) People who love others will always love them; Those who respect others will always respect them. (People who love others will be loved by others; people who respect others will be respected by others.)

(23) Don't intimidate the elder, the nobler, and the brothers and friends. (When making friends, don't rely on your age, your high status, or your brothers' wealth.)

(24) A wise man can make people famous by his reputation, and now he can make people famous by his faintness. (A wise man must understand himself before making others understand; today's people are still confused but insist on making others understand.)

(25) Those who have done something can dig a well. If they dig a well nine times, it is not as good as a spring. (Doing a thing is like digging a well. If there is no spring water when the well is six or seven feet deep, it is still a waste well.)

(26) Five so-called unfilial people in the world: the four branches of the Sui Dynasty, regardless of their parents' support, are also unfilial; He likes wine, regardless of his parents' support, and is also unfilial; Good money, private wife, regardless of parental support, three unfilial also; From the desire of the eyes and ears, I think that killing parents is also four unfilial; To be brave and fierce, to endanger parents, and to be unfilial. (People in the world often say that there are five things that are unfilial: lazy limbs, no matter what their parents' life is, one is unfilial; good chess and drinking, no matter what their parents' life is, two is unfilial; greedy for money, partial to their wives and children, regardless of their parents' life, three is unfilial; indulgent desire, which humiliates their parents, four is unfilial; brave fighting, which harms their parents, five is unfilial.)

(27) Shame is not like a man, how can a man have it? (How can we catch up with others without being ashamed of not catching up with others?)

(28) It is easy for a person to change his words. (If a person can say anything easily, it is not enough to blame him.)

(29) People always say that 'the country under heaven'. The foundation of the world is in the country, the foundation of the country is at home, and the foundation of the family is in the body. (There is an oral saying that "the world is the country". The root of the world is the country, the root of the country is the family, and the root of the family is the individual.)

(30) It has the reputation of safety and the destruction of perfection. (There are unexpected praise and harsh slander.)

(31) If the West is not clean, everyone will hide his nose; Although there are villains, Zhai Rong can worship God by bathing. (If Xi Shi is dirty, others will cover her nose when they pass her; although he is ugly, if he bathes in Zhai Rong, he can also sacrifice to God.)

儒家孟子思想名言：得道多助，失道寡助（图）
孟子，儒家杰出代表，人称“亚圣”。其思想和孔子思想合称孔孟之道。

----- 诸葛长青

   孟子，我国杰出的思想家、教育家。

   由于他对儒家思想研究深入，弘扬创新，成为仅次于孔子的思想家。

   人们赞称孟子为仅次于孔子的圣人，称为“亚圣”。

   孟子勤学精进，令人敬仰。孟母三迁，讲述就是孟子小时候读书的故事。

   孟子，汉族，战国时期邹国人。中国古代著名思想家、教育家，战国时期儒家代表人物。孟子及其门人著有《孟子》一书。

   诸葛长青认为，孟子为儒家思想的继承、发扬、传播，做出了巨大贡献，尤其是他的思想已经深深溶于到我们的文化之中、生活之中、智慧之中。我们今天的人要永远感恩孔子、孟子等历代圣贤的默默奉献。

   孟子继承并发扬了孔子的思想，成为仅次于孔子的一代儒家宗师，对后世中国文化的影响全面而巨大，有“亚圣”之称，与孔子合称为“孔孟”。

   孟子（约公元前372年—约公元前289年），名轲，字子舆，邹国（今山东省邹城市）人，战国时期伟大的思想家、教育家、政治家。儒家的主要代表之一。是儒家的思想主义流派。

   在政治上主张法先王、行仁政；在学说上推崇孔子。

   孟子相传为鲁国贵族孟孙氏的后裔。父名激，母仉（zhang）氏。

   孟子继承并发展了孔子的思想，但较之孔子的思想，他又加入自己对儒术的理解，有些思想也较为偏激。被后世尊称为亚圣。其弟子将孟子的言行记录成《孟子》一书，属语录体散文集，是孟子的言论汇编，由孟子及其弟子共同编写完成。

   他提倡仁政，提出“民贵君轻”的民本思想，游历于齐、宋、滕、魏、鲁等诸国，希望追随孔子推行自己的政治主张，前后历时二十多年。

     孟子的名言警句很多，至今流传人世间。很多书籍、网站都把孟子思想广为传播，使得儒家思想继续展露光辉，诸葛长青摘录部分孟子名言分享给有缘者：

   （1）得道多助，失道寡助。（诸葛长青：孟子的这句话，可以看做历史发展的规律咒语。不论一个国家、一个团体，还是一个人。都要做到顺应天道，行善积德，造福社会、德泽苍生，如此才会长久生存发展。古往今来，历史都在重复着这个咒语。）

   （2）故天降大任于是人也，必先苦心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为，所以动心忍性，曾益其所不能。（诸葛长青:如果你是一个发愿造福社会的人，如果你是一个立志成就的人，如果你是一个上进的人，那就把这句话背诵下来，每天早晚背诵，你会豁然开朗，斗志昂扬，平心静气，不再郁闷急躁，不信？你就试试吧。）   

    （3）富贵不能淫,贫贱不能移,威武不能屈。

   （4）生，我所欲也；义亦我所欲也。二者不可得兼，舍生而取义者也。

   （5）生于忧患，死于安乐。（诸葛长青：时刻保持警醒，时刻反思自己过错，时刻学会行善积德、造福社会，你就会有无上的功德，你就会富贵吉祥了。）

   （6）穷则独善其身，达则兼济天下。（诸葛长青：做人，要学习圣贤境界，这样，不论何时，都是一个开心快乐、完善精进的人。）

    （7）天时不如地利，地利不如人和。

   （8）老吾老，以及人之老；幼吾幼，以及人之幼。

   （9）我善养吾浩然之气（诸葛长青：浩然正气，就是造福社会苍生。就是止恶行善，就是厚德载物。）

   （10）不以规矩，不成方圆。（不用圆规和曲尺，就不能正确地画出方形和圆形。诸葛长青：做什么事情都要有规矩。解放军有三大纪律八项这样，做人也是如此，要有自己的规矩。如果你是一个企业老板、企业家，那么你的企业管理中，规矩也是十分重要。有了规矩，就有了规范化管理）

   （11）权，然后知轻重；度，然后知长短。（称一称，才晓得轻重；量一量，才晓得长短。）

    (12)人不可以无耻，无耻之耻，无耻矣。（人不可以没有羞耻，不知道羞耻的那种羞耻，是真正的羞耻了。）

   （13）人有不为也，而后可以有为。（诸葛长青：人要有所不为，才能有所为。你要学会放弃不重要的东西，选择你喜欢的东西，然后聚精会神、全力以赴，你就成功了）

   （14）虽有天下易生之物，一日暴之，十日寒之，未有能生者也。（诸葛长青好：即使有一种最容易生长的植物，晒它一天，又冻它十天，没有能够再生长的。不论你做什么，必须有恒心，恒心才会成就大事业） 

   （15）其进锐者，其退速。 （前进太猛的人，后退也会快。）

   （16）心之官则思，思则得之，不思则不得也。（诸葛长青：心这个器官职在思考，思考才能获得，不思考便不能获得。开动脑筋，善于思考、善于学习，就会飞跃 ）

   （17）言近而指远者，善言也；守约而施博者，善道也。君子之言也，不下带而道存焉；君子之守，修其身而天下平。人病舍其田而芸人之田——所求于人者重，而所以自任者轻。（语言浅近而意义深远的话，这属于善言；运用简单但影响广泛的方法，这属于善道。君子的语言，看去平平凡凡但都含着很深的道义；君子的操守，以修养本身入手进而达到使天下太平。一般人的毛病就在于放下自己的田不去种而来耕别人的田——对别人要求十分严格，可自己承担的却很少。）

   （18）仁者无敌。（诸葛长青：仁德的人是无敌于天下的。如果一个人做到止恶行善、行善积德，就会吉祥如意。） 

    （19）君仁，莫不仁；君义，莫不义；君正，莫不正。（君主仁，没有人不仁；君主义，没有人不义；君主正，没有人不正。） 

   （20）乐民之乐者，民亦乐其乐；忧民之忧者，民亦忧其忧。（以百姓的快乐为自己的快乐者，百姓也会以国君的快乐为自己的快乐；以百姓的忧愁为自己的忧愁者，百姓也会以国君的忧愁为自己的忧愁。） 

   （21）杀一无罪非仁也，非其有而取之非义也。（杀一个无罪的人，是不仁；不是自己所有，却去取了过来，是不义。） 

   （12）贤者在位，能者在职。（使有德行的人居于相当的官位，有才能的人担任一定职务。）

   （13）尊贤使能，俊杰在位。（尊重有道德的人，使用有能力的人，杰出的人物都有官位。） 

    （14）民为贵，社稷次之，君为轻。（百姓最为重要，国家为次，君主为轻。） 

   （15）人皆可以为尧舜。（人人都可以当尧舜这样的好人。） 

   （16）夫人必自侮，然后人侮之；家必自毁，而后人毁之；国必自伐，而后人伐之。（人必先有自取侮辱的行为，别人才侮辱他；家必先有自取毁坏的因素，别人才毁坏它，国必先有自取讨伐的原因，别人才讨伐它。） 

   （17）祸福无不自己求之者。（诸葛长青：祸害或者幸福没有不是自己找来的。止恶行善、行善积德，是为最重要的。好福报都是自己行善积德、功德换来的） 

   （18）君子不怨天，不尤人。（诸葛长青：君子不抱怨天，不责怪人。一是没用，二是不如立刻行动，拜师学艺，学习进步，止恶行善，） 

   （19）自暴者，不可与有言也；自弃者，不可与有为也。（自己损害自己的人，不能和他谈出有价值的言语；自己抛弃自己（对自己极不负责任）的人，不能和他做出有价值的事业。） 

  （20）养心莫善于寡欲。（修养心性的办法最好是减少物质欲望。）

  （21）恭者不侮人，俭者不夺人。（对别人恭敬的人不会侮辱别人，自己节俭的人不会抢夺别人。） 

  （22）爱人者，人恒爱之；敬人者，人恒敬之。（爱别人的人，会受到别人的爱；尊敬别人的人，会受到别人尊敬。） 

  （23）不挟长，不挟贵，不挟兄弟而友。（交朋友时，不依仗自己年纪大，不仗恃自己地位高，不依仗自己兄弟们富贵。） 

  （24）贤者以其昭昭使人昭昭，今以其昏昏使人昭昭。（贤能的人，一定是自己先明白了再使人明白；今天的人自己还在糊涂却硬要叫人明白。）

  （25）有为者辟若掘井，掘井九轫而不及泉，犹为弃井也。（做一件事情好象挖井，如果挖井到六七丈深还不见泉水的话，仍然是一个废井。） 

    （26）世俗所谓不孝者五：隋其四支，不顾父母之养，一不孝也；博奕好欲酒，不顾父母之养，二不孝也；好货财，私妻子，不顾父母之养，三不孝也；从耳目之欲，以为父母戮，四不孝也；好勇斗狠，以危父母，五不孝也。（世上人常说不孝的事有五件：四肢懒惰，不事生产不管父母的生活，一不孝；好下棋、饮酒，不管父母的生活，二不孝；贪恋钱财，偏袒妻子儿女，不管父母的生活，三不孝；放纵耳目的欲望，使父母受到耻辱，四不孝；逞勇力好打架，危害了父母，五不孝。）

   （27）不耻不若人，何若人有？（不以赶不上别人为羞耻，怎么能赶上别人呢？）

   （28）人之易其言也，无责耳矣。（一个人把什么话都轻易地说出口，那便（要出现很多错处，对他就）不足责备了。）

   （29）人有恒言，皆曰‘天下国家’。天下之本在国，国之本在家，家之本在身。（人们有句口头常言，都这样说‘天下国家’。天下的根本在于国家，国家的根本在于家，家的根本在于个人。）

    （30）有不虞之誉，有求全之毁。（有预料不到的赞扬，也有过份苛刻的诋毁。） 

   （31）西子蒙不洁，则人皆掩鼻而过之；虽有恶人，斋戎沐浴，则可以祀上帝。（如果西施身上沾了肮脏，别人走过她身边时也会掩着鼻子；虽然是个面貌丑陋的人，如果他斋戎沐浴，也一样可以祭祀上帝。）
