Ask for the vernacular translation of Xunzi s self cultivation! Translation and original text of Mo

Although a gentleman fights with a position, he must be brave; Although funerals are about etiquette, they must be based on grief; Although being an official is talented, he must be based on virtue. Therefore, if the foundation is not strong, there is no need to pay attention to the prosperity of the branches; If the people around you can't get close, you don't have to pay attention to attracting people from afar; If relatives can't make them attached, they don't have to pay attention to accommodating outsiders; If you do something from beginning to end, you don't have to talk about engaging in multiple careers; If you can't figure out one thing, you don't have to be well-informed.

2) Therefore, when the first king ruled the world, he must be aware of the left and right and attract people from afar. A gentleman can see the left and right, and the people on the left and right will be able to cultivate their own conduct. If a gentleman cannot cultivate his own character and be slandered by others, then he should self-reflect, so he complains less and cultivates his moral character.

Slander and slander do not come out of the ear, attacks do not come out of the mouth, and thoughts of hurting others do not exist in the heart, so even if there are people who are good at slandering and attacking, there will be no way to carry out it.

3) Therefore, the strength of the gentleman himself is strengthening day by day, his ambition is incomparably higher day by day, and his solemn character is improving day by day. The way of a gentleman (which should include the following): to show incorruptibility when poor, to show kindness when rich, to show love to the living, and to show sorrow to the dead.

These four qualities are not something that can be pretended, but must be possessed by themselves. Whatever exists in the heart is infinite love; He who behaves in the body is extremely humble; What is said is incomparably elegant. (Let the above four virtues) reach the limbs and skin, and refuse to give up until the gray hair is bald, probably only the saint!

4) If the will is not strong, the wisdom must not be high; If you don't speak with credibility, you must not be decisive in your actions; He who has wealth and refuses to give it to others is not worthy of befriending him; He is not firm in guarding the way, he is not extensive in things, he is not clear in distinguishing right from wrong, and he is not worth traveling with him. If it is not firm at all, the branches will be in danger. He who is brave and does not pay attention to moral cultivation will be lazy.

If the source is turbid, the reputation of those who are untrustworthy will be damaged, and their reputation will not arise and grow for no reason. Success must be famous, reputation must not be false, must seek for oneself. Speaking and acting slowly, although they can speak, no one listens to them.

Boasting of one's own merits despite one's efforts is not desirable. A wise man understands in his heart and does not say much, and works hard without boasting about his merits, so his reputation is known all over the world. Speaking is not complicated and full of wisdom, and not ** but pay attention to understanding.

Therefore if you have neither wisdom nor discernment, and you are lazy, you will turn away from the right way. Goodness cannot be retained if it is not born from the heart, deeds cannot be established without self-judgment, fame cannot be established by simplicity, reputation cannot be established by fraud, and a gentleman is a man of words and deeds. There has never been a person who has become a wise man in the world by focusing on profit, ignoring fame, (in this way).

Original text] Seeing goodness, cultivation must be self-existent; If you don't see it well, you will be stunned and introspective; If you are good in your body, you will be good at yourself; If you are not good in your body, you will be evil to yourself. Therefore, if it is not me, I am also a teacher; I am the one who belongs, and so am my friend; Whoever flatters me, so do I. Therefore, a gentleman is a teacher and a friend, so that he hates his thief; Good and tireless, admonished and admonished, although there is no progress, what is it?

On the contrary, the villain causes chaos, and the wicked are not themselves; To the unscrupulous, and the virtuous self of the desire; The heart is like a tiger and a wolf, and the act is like a beast, and the thief of the wicked is himself; The flattering person is pro, the admonishing person is sparse, the correction is laughing, the loyal is a thief, although he wants not to perish, what is it? "Poem" says: "The sorrow of Confucius."

If you seek it, you will be violated; If you can't make a plan, you will have to rely on. That's right. Seeing the kind behavior, Chi Chun must meticulously compare it with himself; When you see a bad behavior, you must use it with fear to reflect on yourself; The good character is in oneself, and one must love oneself unswervingly because of it; Bad conduct is in oneself, and it must be worthy of being hated as if Min was being harmed because of this.

So the one who accuses me and accuses me appropriately is my teacher; The one who agrees with me and agrees with me properly is my friend; Whoever flatters me is a thief who harms me. The gentleman respects his teachers and closes to his friends, but he hates those thieves to the extreme; A kind-loving character is never satisfied, and if you are advised to be vigilant, is it possible that even if you don't want to improve? The villain, on the other hand, is extremely confused, but he still hates the reproach of others; He is extremely incompetent, but he wants others to say that he is virtuous; His heart is like a tiger or a wolf, and he acts like a beast, but he hates others for pointing out his sins; Is it possible for such a person to be close to sycophants who flatter oneself, to alienate oneself from those who persuade oneself to correct one's mistakes, to regard kind and upright words as ridicule of oneself, and to regard acts of extreme loyalty as a disservice to oneself?

Poetry: "It's really sad to absorb and slander indiscriminately. The plan was perfect, but it was all against it; The plan was not good, but it was used according to it.

That's the kind of villain you are talking about.
