Ancient prose, the widow is also translated into the country.

Translations. King Liang Hui said: "I am dedicated to the country!"

When there was a famine north of the Yellow River, the people there moved to the east of the Yellow River, and the grain east of the Yellow River was transported to the north of the Yellow River. The same was true of the famine years east of the Yellow River. There is no one who has been so attentive to the administration of a neighbouring country as I have been. But there are no fewer people in the neighboring country, and no more of my people, why?

Mencius said, "The great king loves to fight, and allow me to use the analogy of war." The drums beat and marched, the blades of the weapons had already collided, throwing away the armor and dragging the weapons to escape.

Some people ran a hundred steps and stopped, and some people ran fifty steps and stopped. How about laughing at others for running a hundred steps while laughing at others for running a hundred steps with only fifty paces yourself? King Hui said:

No. It's just that he didn't run a hundred steps, and this is also an escape! Mencius said:

If the king understands this, then he doesn't have to expect your country to have more people than its neighbors. If you don't go against the agricultural season, you won't be able to eat all the food (this means that the people should not be allowed to serve the public during the busy agricultural season). If the net does not enter the pond to fish, the fish and turtles will not be eaten (in ancient times, it was stipulated that the mesh was less than four inches [more than two inches and seven minutes now] was a dense net, and it was forbidden to fish in the pond).

When a tree is cut down according to the season (when the grass is dying, when the growing season has passed), the wood will not run out. There is no end to food, fish and turtles, and no wood to be used, so that the people have no dissatisfaction with feeding the living and burying the dead. The people were not dissatisfied with the provision of the living and the burial of the dead, and this was the beginning of the royal road.

Mulberry trees were planted next to the five acres (five acres: more than one and a half acres of the current acre) large residential fields, and when they were fifty years old, they could wear silk clothes. Livestock chickens, pigs, dogs and other poultry, livestock (porpoise:

Piglet. Biao: Big pig), don't miss the breeding season, you can eat meat when you are seventy years old.

100 acres of arable land, do not delay its production season, a family of several people will not be hungry (count: several). Conscientiously set up school education, and repeatedly preached the principle of honoring one's parents to the people

School, Shang (Yin) Dynasty called Xu, Zhou Dynasty called Xu), gray-haired old people will not carry or carry things on the road. When he was seventy years old, he could wear clothes and eat meat, and ordinary people could not go hungry or freeze, and it was never possible to reach such a point, but he could not unify the world and become king. "Pigs and dogs eat the food that people eat, but (the nobles) do not stop it, and there are people who die of hunger on the road (the government) but they do not know to open the granaries to help the victims, and the common people die, so they say:

It's not my sin, it's the result of a bad year. What is the difference between saying this and stabbing someone with a knife and killing someone, but saying, 'It's not me, it's a weapon'? The king does not blame the year of the year, and then all the people of the world (referring to the people of other princely states) will come and submit. ”

Translation and original text of the widow in the country:

Original text: King Liang Hui said: "The widow is also devoted to the country. If Hanoi is fierce, its people will be moved to the east of the river, and its millet will be moved to Hanoi; The same is true of Hedong. Those who observe the politics of neighboring countries are not as good as those who have the intentions of a few people. If the people of the neighbouring countries do not add less, and the people of the few do not increase more? ”

Translation: Liang Hui Wang said: "I am very dedicated to the country!

When there was a famine in Hanoi, they moved the people there to Hedong and transferred grain from Hedong to Hanoi. When there is a famine in the east of the river, do the same, and look at the monarchs of neighboring countries who preside over political affairs, and there is no one who is as dedicated as me. Why is it that the people of the neighbouring countries are not decreasing, and my people are not increasing?

>The Widow to the Country" is a chapter in Mencius or Liang Hui Wang, which is one of the articles that express Mencius's idea of "benevolent government", discussing how to implement "benevolent government" and unify the world with "royal road".

There is no regret in health and death, and the beginning of the royal road is also", "Seventy people eat meat in clothes, and the people are not hungry or cold, but those who are not kings are not there" is the finishing touch of the article, highlighting the theme of the article: Only by implementing benevolent government can we win the hearts of the people; Only by winning the hearts of the people can we win the world. This proposition of "protecting the people and being the king" is actually the embodiment of Mencius's "people-oriented" thought.
