Classical Chinese Translation of Confucius s Family Language

Confucius's Family Sayings "Zhilan was born in a deep valley, and she is not fragrant without people; A gentleman cultivates morality and does not change his temper because of poverty. Therefore, it is said: living with good people, such as entering the room of Zhilan, and not smelling its fragrance for a long time, that is, it will be dissolved with it; and ungood people, such as into the abalone, for a long time without smelling its smell, but also with it.

The one who hides the Dan is red, and the one who hides the lacquer is black, so that the gentleman must be careful of where he is.

Translation: Two herbs, white mushroom and orchid, grow in deep valleys, but they don't become unfragrant just because no one comes to appreciate them; People with high moral character practice morality and stand up for virtue, and they do not change their temperament because of hardship and embarrassment or material greed. Therefore, living with a virtuous person is like living in a house with herbs, and after a long time you will not be able to smell its aroma, because you have been assimilated by it, and your body is full of incense; Living with people of inferior moral character is like living in a shop that sells salted fish, and after a long time, you can't smell its fishy smell, and you are also assimilated by it, and your body is full of stench.

The place where the cinnabar is placed is dyed red, and the place where the lacquer ink is placed is dyed black. Therefore, a person of high moral character must carefully choose the environment in which he lives.

From this passage, an idiom is summarized: those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Translation: It is easy to turn red near cinnabar, and it is easy to turn black near ink paint. The metaphor of the objective environment has a great impact on people's growth and change.

It turns red by the cinnabar, and blackened by the ink. The metaphor of approaching a good person can make a person good, and approaching a bad person can make a person bad. It refers to the fact that the objective environment has a great impact on people.

Translation: Mencius said to Dai Busheng, "Do you want your king to be good?

I tell you clearly. For example, there is a doctor in the state of Chu who wants his son to learn to speak the dialect of Qi, so is he looking for someone from the state of Qi to teach him? Or is it better to find someone from the Chu State to teach him?

Dai Busheng said: "It's good to find people from Qi to teach him." Mencius said:

If a Qi person comes to teach him, but there are many Chu people who are noisy around him and speak Chu dialect to disturb him, even if you whip him every day and ask him to speak Qi dialect, it will be impossible. If, on the other hand, you take him to the state of Qi and live there for a few years in a market like Zhuang Yue, then even if you whip him every day and ask him to speak the Chu dialect, it will be impossible. You said that Xue Juzhou was a good man, and asked him to live in the palace.

If the people in the palace, regardless of age or position, are good people like Xue Juzhou, then who does the king and do bad things? If, on the other hand, the people in the royal palace, regardless of age or status, were not as good as Xue Juzhou, then with whom would the king do good deeds? What can Xue Juzhou do to King Song? ”
