The old and the old, the young, and the young

From "Mencius: King Hui of Liang".

The old and the old, the young and the young. ”

The first 'old' character is the meaning of the verbs 'support' and 'filial piety', and the second and third 'old' characters are the nouns 'old man' and 'elder';The first word "young" means the verb "raise" and "educate", and the second and third "young" words mean the noun "child" and "junior";The 'and' in both sentences has the meaning of 'pushing oneself and others'.

The whole sentence means: "When supporting and honoring one's elders, one should not forget other elderly people who are not related to oneself." When raising and educating your own juniors, you should not forget other children who are not related to you by blood. ”

Mencius described his ideal society by saying, "The old and the old, the young and the young." This is in line with Confucius's understanding of the world of great harmony:

Therefore, people do not have only their own relatives, nor only their sons, so that the old have their ends, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their growth, and the widows, lonely and disabled people have all been supported. The idea is in the same vein.

"The old and the old, and the old of men; The young of me, and the young of man. This means that when supporting and honoring one's elders, one should not forget other elderly people who are not related to oneself. When raising and educating your own children, you should not forget other children who are not related to you.

The old man and the old man are from "Mencius: King Hui of Liang I": Mencius said: "The old man and the old man; The young of me, and the young of man.

The world can be carried in the palm of your hand. The old and the old: the previous "old" (verb):

Esteemed; The second and third 'old' (noun): elderly, elder. the second is his own elders, and the third is the elders of other people's families; The young of me, and the young of man.

The first word 'young' is the verb 'to raise......The second and third 'young' words are the meaning of the noun 'children' and 'juniors', the second is their own children, and the third is someone else's children;The 'and' in both sentences has the meaning of 'pushing oneself and others'.

The meaning of this sentence is that when you see the elderly, you will think of your parents, and when you see them, you will think of your children, and you will take care of these children in the same way.

The phrase "the old and the old, the young and the young" comes from "Mencius. Liang Hui Wang Shang". The meaning of this sentence is to honor the elders of one's own family, and by extension, to honor the elders of other people's families. Do good to your own children as well as others.

The meaning of this sentence is to let the fine tradition of respecting the old and loving the young be passed on.

Respect the old people in your own family, and also respect other old people; Take care of your own children and take care of other people's children.

The original meaning of this sentence is that when we meet the elderly in need of help, we should treat these elderly people like their own parents with care and love, and when we meet children in need of help, we should also help them have enough patience and tolerance like our own children.

The significance of this sentence is that, first of all, respecting the old and loving the young is our traditional virtue, we must carry forward and pass on, only if we continue the glorious tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, can we better let these old people and these children get everyone's care, form a good atmosphere, and will also let their own old people and their children ultimately benefit.

On the other hand, we all have the process of growing up from a young child, and we will eventually have the day when we grow old, when we treat other children and other old people around us, when we are old, we will also be treated well by others, when we are young, we have also been helped by other strangers, so we should uphold this point of view, this kindness will continue to be passed on, when more and more people uphold the principle of dealing with the old and the old and the young and the young, then, The environment in which we live and live will be more harmonious and happy.

It is "The Journey of the Avenue", selected from "The Book of Rites, Rites and Fortunes".

Original text: The journey of the avenue is also, the world is public. The selection of talents and abilities, the belief and harmony, so that people do not only kiss their relatives, do not only have their sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, the widowed, lonely and the sick have all been raised.

Men have a share, and women have a home. If you abandon the goods on the ground, you don't have to hide them for yourself; The power of evil does not come from the body, and it does not have to be for oneself. It is because of the conspiracy to close but not to prosper, to steal and thieves not to do, so the outside of the house is not closed, it is said to be the same.

Translation: At the time of the implementation of the Great Dao, the world was shared by the people, and the virtuous and talented people were selected (to do things for everyone), and (everyone) emphasized honesty and advocated harmony. Therefore, people should not only support their parents and children, but also enable the elderly to live their entire lives, the middle-aged to serve society, and the young children to grow up smoothly and profitably, so that the old and without a wife, the old without a husband, the children who lost their fathers at a young age, the old and childless, and the disabled can all be supported.

Men should have careers, and women should be married in a timely manner. They abhor the abandonment of their goods on the earth (and go and store them), but not to enjoy them alone; (also) abhor the unwillingness to do one's best in common labor, and always do not work for selfish gain. In this way, no one will engage in conspiracies, no one will steal property and raise troops to cause rebellion, and there will be no need to close the door (every household), which is called the "Datong" social annihilation.

The old and the old, the young and the young, this sentence is estimated to have been seen in those elementary schools, but I don't understand this sentence, why is he so tongue-twisting, what does he have from **, and what does it mean? The part of speech represented by this old man is different, so it sounds very mouthful. <>

The earliest came from Qi Heng Jinwen, Confucius.

The Analects of Mencius, which is a classic dialogue between two people in a conversation, means that I treat my own old people with great respect, so I treat other old people as well, and I love my own children very much, so I love other people's children, and so I should love other people's children. This symbolizes a universal value.

That is to say, everyone should be treated equally, love other people and love their own families, their elders, and their own treasures should not make too many differencesThis is what two people said during their debate. <>

How can there be completely universal values in real life? That is to say, what most people recognize, and then it is also the love of everyone afterwards, and all people should be equal. This is not right, it is impossible to be completely equal, because complete equality is a kind of inequality, love others and love yourself, the children of the family are the same, then this is impossible for the children of your own family, because the children of other people's families do not need to bear the obligation of supporting their parents.

But in a sense, the children of their own family need it, and the children of their own family are not equal, so there is no complete equality, and everyone should not over-interpret this sentence. <>

But in a broad sense, this sentence still has its learning significance, that is, we should respect the elderly, love the children, just like respecting our own old people and our own children, and do not need to delve too deeply into this meaning. However, from the perspective of social harmony and civilization, if everyone does this, it will indeed be of great help to the progress of social civilization and harmony.

This phrase first came from Mencius, which means to respect the old people in your own family, but also to respect the old people in other people's families, take care of your own children, and also care for other people's children.

People often say that the old and the old, the young and the young, the first came from "Mencius", which is a good reflection of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

These two sentences first came from the matter of Qi Huan Gong of Mencius. It is about the elderly in your own family, so you have to push yourself and others and take care of the elderly in other people's homes. Be empathetic.
