Translation: Mencius is good at metaphors, not urgent, but unique in meaning .

Zhao Qi wrote in Mencius.

In the Chapters and Sentences Inscription, it is said: "Mencius is good at parables. Mencius was quite good at using metaphors to illustrate his own points of view in the debates of others, and turned abstract things into concrete and vivid things.

This makes the arguments vivid and convincing. In "Lilou Shang", Mencius discussed: "If you lose the world, you will lose your people."

Those who lose their people will also lose their hearts. There is a way to win the world: to win the people, to win the world.

There is a way to win its people: to win its heart, to win its people. There is a way to get it:

Gather with it as much as you want, and don't do anything evil. , used a metaphor "the people return to benevolence, the water goes down, and the beasts go around." The metaphor is so vivid and apt that it's unexpected.

It is a simple analogy, but it clearly explains the question of the gain and loss of the people and the return of the people to the benevolence of the people to be debated. "Liang Hui Wang.

Mencius, when King Hui of Liang was devoted to his heart and the people did not ask too many questions, once said: "The king likes war, please let me use war as an analogy." Drums.

There was a bang, and the blades of the two sides met, and then they lost their armor and dragged their weapons to escape. Some ran a hundred steps and stopped, and some ran fifty steps and stopped. Is it okay for those who have run fifty steps to laugh at those who have run a hundred steps?

The use of soldiers fleeing in war to explain why the people did not add more is easy to understand, and Mencius's metaphor seems illogical but has a strange imagination. It is also artistic expression and literary prose. When Mencius talked to King Hui of Liang about desire, it gradually deepened.

In the end, it was concluded that King Hui's desire was to expand the territory, and Mencius used the phrase "If you have a lot of trouble, you will seek fish from the wood, although you can't fish, there will be no disaster." If you do what you want, do your best, and there will be disaster in the future. To illustrate the serious consequences caused by the expansion of territory, there is still the metaphor of the idiom "seeking fish from the wood".

Mencius was good at using metaphors to illustrate things, and his words were not intense, but the truth contained in them was unique and supreme.

Mencius was good at argumentation and good use of metaphors.

Zhao Qi of the Han Dynasty said in "Mencius Chapters and Inscriptions": "Mencius is good at metaphors, and his words are not urgent, but his meaning is already unique. Mencius set up metaphors according to the different objects and contents of the debate, eclectic and easy, vivid, visualized, and concretized abstract truths, and could easily defeat the opponents.

Mencius was the most prestigious master of Confucianism after Confucius. The core of his doctrine is to stress "benevolence and righteousness" and practice "benevolent government", that is, to practice the so-called "royal road". Its theoretical basis is the people-oriented ideology, which attaches importance to people's right to survival.

Therefore, Mencius hated those feudal princes who did not practice benevolent government and cruelly plundered the people. "The Widow to the Country" bitterly ridiculed King Liang Hui, who regarded himself as a virtuous monarch, and angrily pointed out that some feudal princes claimed to be "parents of the people", but in fact they "led beasts and cannibals" and were the people's disasters. Mencius's use of metaphors and allegories to explain reason, as well as his great polemic skills, are evident in this text.

Using a variety of techniques to drive away the enemy and talk about the enemy's obedience, the rhetoric is extravagant and vigorous, sometimes scathing, and likes to use comparisons and dual sentences, and the pen is aggressive.

Topics such as environmental protection, such as low-carbon economy, living in harmony with nature, etc.

It's "talking about it left and right", which means that you are talking about something absent-mindedly, pointing to the east and west.

The correct one is "Wang Gu talks about him left and right".It means to pull away from the topic and say something else.

The third wolf is the edge of the wood to ask for fish, and the wolf is to suffer, which is also ridiculous.

People say that they climb trees to ask for fish, but this wolf climbs up trees to ask for disaster. That's funny!

The idiom Yuanmu begging for fish is.

During the Warring States period, King Xuan of Qi, the king of Qi, wanted to conquer the world by force, and Mencius advised him to abandon force and adopt benevolent political measures. Mencius said to King Qi Xuan: "If the king wants to conquer the world by force, it will be like 'seeking fish from a tree', and the result will definitely be in vain, not only will it fail to achieve its goal, but it may also cause disaster."

King Xuan of Qi felt that Mencius's words were very reasonable, so he listened to his advice.

"Yuan" here means to follow and follow, and "wood" refers to trees; "Seeking fish from the wood" is to climb the tree along the tree to find the fish. How can there be fish in the trees? Of course not!

Therefore, this idiom is used as a metaphor for the wrong direction, method, or violation of objective laws, and the result will certainly not achieve the goal.

There is no big difference. All refer to the inability to achieve the goal.
