Hello everyone, I would like to ask you about a work by Confucius.

Is it easy to do things in the world? If you do it, it will be easy for those who are difficult; If you don't, it's easy and it's hard. Is it easy to learn? If you learn it, it will be easy for those who are difficult; If you don't learn, it's easy and difficult.

I am faint, and I don't catch people; I am mediocre, and I don't catch people; After learning it, it will not be slack off for a long time, and it will be successful, and I don't know its faintness and mediocrity. I am smart, and I am also a person; I am sensitive to materials, and I am also very human; Abandon it without using it, it is no different from faint and mediocre. The way of the saint died in Lu and passed it on.

However, the use of mediocrity and intelligence is not constant!

There are two monks in Shu: one is poor and the other is rich. The poor speak to the rich"What is the South China Sea I want? "

The rich man said:"Why should the son go? "

Said:"One bottle and one bowl are enough. "

The rich man said:"I have wanted to buy a boat for several years, but I still can't, so why should I go! "

The next year, the poor will be returned from the South China Sea, in order to sue the rich. The rich are ashamed.

Xishu goes to the South China Sea, I don't know how many thousands of miles, the rich monks can't go to the poor to the poor, the determination of the people, not as good as the monks of Shu? It is so smart and sensitive, but it can be feared but not feared; Self-reliance on its intelligence and sensitivity but not scholars, self-defeating also. faint and mediocre, limitable but unlimited; Those who do not limit themselves to their faintness and mediocrity and are tireless in mechanics are also self-reliant.

It is supposed to be an excerpt from the Analects.

If you look at this translation, if this is probably the meaning, it is very good if you find the original text in the Analects.

If it is "Persuasion", it is Xunzi's.

Confucius's works are "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", "Music", and "Spring and Autumn". Confucius's compilation of "Poems", "Books", "Rites" and "Music" is based on the original materials and clues, collecting, searching, sorting, and revising, which is "narration".
