Idioms and stories about Mencius, idioms and stories about Mencius

Well, I've heard of Meng's mother's three moves.

Three idioms and stories about Mencius's calling pants. Meng's mother moved three times. Mencius's mother moved three times in order to provide him with a good learning environment.

Initiator. This idiom comes from "Mencius: King Hui of Liang": Confucius Zhongni said:

The initiator has no aftermath. It is also used for its image of a man. During the Warring States period, Mencius and King Hui of Liang once discussed the way to govern the country.

Mencius asked King Hui of Liang: Is there any difference between beating someone to death with a wooden stick and killing someone with a knife? King Liang Hui said:

Nothing different. Mencius also asked: What is the difference between killing people with a knife and killing people with politics?

Liang Huiwang said: It is no different. Mencius went on to say:

Now the king's kitchen has fat, and the stable has strong horses, but the common people are hungry, and there are starving people lying in the field. This is the people in power leading the beasts to eat people. The king thinks about it, wild beasts cannibalize and disgust people, so how can those in power bring wild beasts to eat people, how can they be good parents and officials of the common people.

Confucius once said that the first person who began to use figurines to accompany the dead to the burial of the dead in ancient times must have cut off their children and grandchildren. You see, it is not possible to use human-shaped clay puppets for burial, but how can the common people starve to death. According to Confucius, the initiator has no aftermath of this sentence, and later generations have cited the initiator as an idiom, which is a metaphor for the first person to do something bad or the founder of a bad atmosphere.

Fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps to laugh at fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps and to sing Jane. During the Warring States Period, the princely kingdoms all adopted the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal, and attacked from afar and closely. The wars have continued for many years, but they have suffered the common people of various countries.

Mencius saw this and decided to travel around the world to persuade the warlike monarchs. Mencius came to the kingdom of Liang and went to meet the warlike king Hui of Liang. King Hui of Liang said to Mencius:

What is the reason why I have tried my best to govern the country and love the people, but I have not seen the number of people increase? Mencius said, "Let me use the analogy of war."

When the two armies meet on the battlefield, it is inevitable that there will be a fight. As a result of the fight, the defeated side will inevitably abandon its armor and run for its life. Suppose a soldier runs slowly, only fifty paces, but mocks the soldier who has run a hundred paces as 'greedy for life and afraid of death'

After Mencius finished telling the story, he asked King Liang Yingyin Hui: Is this right? King Liang Hui immediately said:

Of course not. Mencius said, "Although you love the people, but you like to fight, the people will suffer."

It's the same as fifty steps. The idiom is a metaphor for those who laugh at big defeats with small defeats. Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter are used as a metaphor for different degrees, but the essence is the same.
