First, the original text of "Tian Lun"

Nature is the real law. Governance is good, governance is chaotic. Strong is frugal, poor is not poor. Get ready, move, and you won't get sick. Practice without two things, and heaven can't be a disaster. So floods and droughts can't make it hungry, cold and heat can't make it sick, and monsters can't make it fierce. If you use it frugally, you can't make it rich.

If you improve and move a little, then God can't make it all. God can't make things auspicious in a fake way. So we were hungry before the flood and drought, sick before the cold and summer, and fierce before the monster was born. It is the same as managing the world, but it is different from managing the world. You can't blame the sky, but it's also true. Therefore, if you know the difference between heaven and man, you can be said to be the most human.

The husband's duty is to get what he wants without asking. If so, though profound, this person is rash; Although it is large, it does not add energy; Although it is fine, it is not observed; Husband's intention is not to contend with heaven. Heaven has its time, land has its wealth, people have their governance, and husbands can participate. It is confusing to give up its participation and wish it!

The stars rotate with each other, and the sun and the moon pass by, so the four seasons are royal, the yin and yang are big, and the wind and rain are generous. Everything has its own harmony and life, and its own cultivation and success. If you don't see its merits, you will see its merits. Husband is called a god. Everyone knows its success, but it is invisible and called genius. Only saints don't understand knowledge. The bounden duty is established, the achievement is achieved, the shape is tangible and the spirit is born, the likes and dislikes are hidden, and the husband is called the sky. The eyes, ears, nose and mouth can be connected separately, but not interconnected, and the husband is called a celestial official.

The weak heart treats the five senses, and the husband is called Tianjun. Wealth is not the kind to raise its kind, but the husband is naturally raised. Let nature take its course and call it blessing, while the opposite is called disaster, and the husband is called heavenly politics. It is a great evil for a husband to hide the heavenly monarch, confuse the heavenly officials, abandon the cultivation of heaven, go against the politics of heaven, betray the feelings of heaven, and lose his heavenly power.

The sage knows his heavenly monarch, is his celestial official, prepares his heavenly supplement, follows his heavenly politics, nurtures his heavenly feelings, and makes the best of his heavenly strength. If so, you know what you do and what you don't do, then heaven and earth are the officials and everything is the service. It is said that a husband knows heaven, and if he practices Qu Zhi and nurtures Quyi, it will not harm his life.

So if Joe doesn't do it, great wisdom won't do it. Those who yearn for heaven remember what they can expect to see. Those who are eager for land can have a rest when they see fit. Those who aim at four have seen what they can do. Those who yearn for Yin He will make peace with what they see and know. The official is the sky and the Tao is for himself.

Cure evil spirits? Yue: The sun, the moon, the stars and the auspicious calendar are the same as Yujie. Yuji, Jiezhi chaos, chaos is not heaven. Time demon? Yue: Fan Qifan is good at collecting livestock in spring and summer and autumn and winter, just like Yu Jie. It is out of place to govern, to defy chaos, and to govern chaos. Soil evil? If you say it, you will live, and if you lose it, you will die, just like Yu Jie. Danger, Jie, chaos, chaos is not for the ground. The poem says: "The sky is a high mountain and the king is a barren land. He did it, and Wang Wenkang. " This is also called.

The weather is not evil for people, and it is very cold. The land is not evil to people, it is far and wide. A gentleman does not retreat for the villain's Hungary. The sky is constant, the earth is constant, and the gentleman is constant. A gentleman is always on the road, and a villain is also on the road. The poem says: "The propriety and righteousness are not satisfactory, so there is no need to sympathize with others' words. "This is also called.

The king of Chu traveled all over Qian Shan without knowing it. It is not foolish for a gentleman to drink water. This is a festival. If my husband is cultivated, virtuous, knowledgeable and understanding, he was born today, but he is in me. Therefore, a gentleman respects himself and does not envy those who are in heaven. The villain misjudges the people in himself, but envies the people in heaven. A gentleman respects himself rather than the sky, and makes progress day by day.

If the villain blames himself wrongly and admires the sky, it is the day to retire from the DPRK. Therefore, it is reasonable for a gentleman to advance day by day, and it is also reasonable for a villain to retreat day by day. The reason why gentlemen and villains hang in this ear!

Everyone is afraid that the stars will fall. Yue: What is it? Nothing, only the change of heaven and earth, the transformation of yin and yang, and the scarcity of things is precious. Strange, but also. And fear it, don't also. The eclipse of the sun and the moon, which is seen from time to time by the Qixing Party, is unparalleled and not often tasted. If you are enlightened and politically peaceful, it means that although you are in harmony with the world, there is no harm. It's no use getting dark, it's politically dangerous, although no one is coming. The team of stars, the sound of wood, is the change of heaven and earth, the change of yin and yang, and the scarcity of things. Strange, but also. And fear it, don't also.

The shemale is the most terrible when things come. Yue: What is a shemale? As the saying goes: dry farming hurts crops, plowing loses filth, and political risks lose people. The fields are filthy, the people are hungry, and there are dead people on the road. Husband is called shemale. If the law is unclear, there are mistakes from time to time, and the skills are ignored, the husband is called a shemale. There is no distinction between inside and outside, men and women are promiscuous, father and son are suspicious, separated from each other, and it is difficult to get together. Husband is called shemale. Magic is born in chaos, three mistakes and no security. What it said was terrible, and its disaster was terrible.

Sometimes there are cows and horses, and six animals are strange, which can be blamed and not to be feared. Chuanyue: Don't mention the wonderful book of everything. Unnecessary arguments, no hurry to examine, abandon and die. The meaning of husband, monarch and minister, the relationship between father and son, and the difference between husband and wife, complement each other's strengths and give up the basics.

It's raining, why? Nothing, but it's raining. Save it by an eclipse, the weather will dry up, and then make a fortune, not thinking about begging, but also writing. Therefore, the gentleman thinks literature, while the people think God. Think that the text is auspicious and that the gods are fierce.

Those who are in heaven do not know the sun and moon, those who are in the earth do not know fire and water, and those who are in things do not know pearls and jade, nor do they know propriety and righteousness. Therefore, the sun and the moon are not high and the light does not shine; If fire and water don't accumulate, it will be moist and rich; If Zhu Yu didn't see it, the princes wouldn't think it was precious; Courtesy is not added to the country, and fame and fortune are not white. The life of an old friend lies in heaven, and the life of a country lies in ceremony. The monarch respects the virtuous monarch, values the law, loves the people and looks down. He is so greedy, treacherous and dangerous, and seeks power, overthrow and risk and death.

Think about it in the big sky made up of things and animals! Praise it from heaven and use it to control your destiny! I hope it can be made in time after a while! Because there are many things, it is better than anything else! Thinking about things and thinking about things is to manage things without losing money! May things be born, may things be accomplished! Therefore, thinking about the sky with the wrong people will lose the love of everything.

A hundred kings remain the same, which is enough to make sense. A waste together, should be consistent, not chaotic. I don't know consistency, and I don't know how to change it. On the whole, Infiltration is not dead. It's a mess. Treat it in detail. The goodness of the old road can be followed in the middle, but the deformation can't be done, and the concealment is confusing. Water walkers are deep in the surface, but if the surface is unknown, they will fall into the trap. Those who govern the people show their ways, and those who do not show their ways are chaotic. Ceremony, table also. Indecent assault, unconsciousness; Confused, chaotic. There is nothing unknown about the old road, which is different externally and internally. Whether it is hidden or obvious, the people are trapped.

Everything is biased towards Tao, and everything is biased towards everything. A fool who is biased against one thing but thinks he knows it is ignorant. Caution is seeing later, not seeing before. I have seen it in my trust, but not in my letter. Mozi exists in qi, but not in abnormality. Song Zi is few, but very few.

If there is a rear without a front, the masses will have no way out. If there is trust but no faith, there is no distinction between high and low. There is unity without exception, government decrees are not implemented, few are not many, and the masses do not reform. The book says: "If you accomplish nothing, learn from Wang Zhidao;" Do all kinds of evil and take the road of being king. "This is also called.

Second, the translation of Tian Lun

The operation of heaven has certain rules, and it will not exist because of the sage Yao, nor will it perish because of the tyrant Jie. It will be auspicious for (people) to cooperate with (heaven) with courtesy, and it will be dangerous for (people) to cooperate with heaven with violence (not with courtesy). Work hard and save money in agricultural production, then the sky can't make people poor. If you take care of yourself every week and take action in time, you won't make people sick.

If you follow the right path of propriety and righteousness without making any mistakes, then God can't bring disaster to people, so floods and droughts can't make people hungry, cold and hot changes can't make people sick, and natural disasters can't make people dangerous. Give up agricultural production and extravagant consumption, then the sky can't make people rich.

If the maintenance is simple and the action is against time, the sky will be lost. If you run amok and violate the right path of propriety and righteousness, then heaven can't make people lucky. So there was famine before the flood and drought, disease before the cold and heat, and disaster before the natural disaster. These accepted times are exactly the same as governing the world, but disasters are different from governing the world. This can't be blamed, it's the law of things. Therefore, knowing the difference between the duties of heaven and man is the most human.

You don't have to do it deliberately to succeed, and you don't have to ask for it deliberately. This is called "duty". Like this, although profound, "knowing benevolence" will not deliberately think about it; Although great, "Zhiren" will not deliberately work hard; Although subtle, "knowing benevolence" will not be deliberately pursued, which is called competing with heaven.

The right time, the right place and the right people. This is called participation and cooperation with heaven and earth. It is wrong to give up your ability of cooperation and participation and envy the role of time and land.

Many stars turn to each other, the sun and the moon alternate, spring, summer, autumn and winter alternate, yin and yang combine, and everything is widely used. Everything grows in harmony with these things and is nourished and matured by them. You can't see what he is doing but only the result. This is called "God". Everyone knows that they have achieved everything, but they don't know that they are invisible. This is called "Tiangong". Only saints do not deliberately seek to understand heaven.

After the establishment of "Duty", "Tianli" has been completed, and people's spirit has emerged. Emotions such as kindness, evil, joy, anger, sadness and joy are all included in it, which is called "heavenly feeling". Ear, eye, nose, mouth and shape have their sympathetic external functions and cannot replace each other. This is called "Tianguan". The mind dominates the five senses (ears, eyes, nose, mouth and shape) in the chest, which is called "Tianjun".

Choosing other things to support human beings is called "natural support". Conforming to people's needs is called blessing, and violating people's needs is called disaster. This is called "Heaven Politics". Covering up the heavenly monarch, confusing the heavenly officials, abandoning the heavenly nourishment, violating the heavenly principles and the heavenly feelings, and losing the heavenly rights, is called the great murder.

The sage knows his heavenly monarch, adjusts his heavenly officials, prepares for his heavenly cultivation, follows his heavenly politics, and protects his heavenly feelings, thus preserving his heavenly merits. In this way, saints will know what they should and should not do; You can do your duty between heaven and earth and serve everything. The saint's behavior is completely reasonable, his health is completely comfortable, and his existence will not hurt everything. This is called knowing heaven.

Therefore, a really smart person has something to do with him; The real wise man lies in his thoughtlessness. The sage's concern for heaven is limited to showing predictable phenomena; Concern for land is limited to showing soil suitable for growth; Attention to the four seasons is limited to the order in which they can engage in labor; Attention to yin and yang is limited to manageable methods and conditions. Saints will appoint experts to guard heaven and human nature itself.

Is it heaven or chaos? I said, "The sun, the moon, the stars, the morning, auspicious signs and the calendar are all faced by Dayu and Xia Jie. Dayu, the world is at peace, Xia Jie, the world is in chaos. (Visible) Governance or chaos is not caused by heaven. " Cure or chaos, is it caused by the four seasons?

I said, "crops germinate, flourish and grow in succession in spring and summer, and bear fruit, accumulate and collect in autumn and winter. This is what Dayu and Xia Jie are facing. Dayu, the world is at peace, Xia Jie, the world is in chaos. (Visible) Governance or chaos is not caused by the four seasons. " Governance or chaos, is it caused by land? I said, "Everything is born with the earth. Without the earth, everything will die. This is what Dayu and Xia Jie are facing." . (Visible) Governance or chaos is not caused by the ground. "

The Book of Songs says: "God built a high mountain, which was reclaimed by King Tai of Zhou. After his management and Zhou Wenwang's inheritance, the people were able to live a stable life. " That's the truth.

God will not cooperate with people who hate the cold to stop the arrival of winter, and the earth will not cooperate with people who hate the distance to change its breadth. A gentleman will not stop his moral cultivation because a villain is noisy. There is a constant way in heaven and a constant way in earth. A gentleman has an agreement, a gentleman emphasizes an agreement, and a villain only cares about utility.

The Book of Songs says, "We practice propriety and righteousness without making mistakes. Why should we be afraid of others gossiping?" This is a fact. There are thousands of troops behind the king of Chu, not how smart he is; It's not how stupid a gentleman is to eat beans and drink water, it's all caused by accident.

As for my ambition to cultivate beauty and purity, my virtue is profound and honest. I was born in the contemporary era and I am interested in ancient roads. That's (completely) in my hand! Therefore, a gentleman will be eager to (seriously do) those things in my hands, rather than covet those things that belong to heaven; Little people will give up what belongs to me and long for what belongs to heaven.

A gentleman will be eager (seriously) to do things that belong to me, not greedy for things that belong to heaven, so he is making progress every day; Little people give up those things related to me, but covet those things that belong to heaven (blindly), so they are regressing every day. Therefore, the reason why a gentleman makes progress every day is the same as the reason why a villain regresses every day. This is why there is such a big difference between a gentleman and a villain.

The falling of meteors and the strange sounds of trees made people in China very afraid. Ask: "What's the matter?" I said, "Nothing. This is just the change of heaven and earth, the change of yin and yang, and the phenomenon that things are rare is precious! Feel strange, yes; It is wrong to be afraid. The sun and the moon are in deficit, the wind and rain are out of place, and there are occasional strange stars, which have never appeared in that generation!

If the superiors are wise and the politics are clear, then even if they rise at the same time, there is no harm; Superior, dark and politically dangerous, even if no one is there, it will not help. The falling of stars and the strange sounds of trees are just the phenomena of the change of heaven and earth, the change of yin and yang, and the scarcity of things is precious. Feel strange, yes; It is wrong to be afraid. "Of all the things that have happened, only people are the most terrible. Hasty farming will hurt crops, and careless weeding will lose crops.

Political risks will lose people's hearts, fields will be barren, crops will wither, food prices will be expensive, people will starve to death, and people will starve to death on the road. This is called "human suffering". Unclear government orders, improper action measures, poor farming management, and people not coming according to the season, resulting in cattle and horses crossing and six animals perverting. This is called "human abuse". It is difficult to leave at the same time because of poor etiquette and righteousness, no distinction between inside and outside, promiscuity between men and women, mutual suspicion between father and son. This is called "human abuse".

People are born because of chaos. If the above three kinds of people appear alternately, the country will have no peace. This statement is simple, but its disaster is very heavy, which can be strange and should be feared. The ancient book says: "The strange phenomenon of all things is not explained in detail in the classics." Useless arguments and unnecessary investigations should be abandoned without governance. As for the meaning of monarch and minister, the affection between father and son, and the differences between husband and wife, we should study and discuss them every day and never give up.

It rained when praying for rain. Why? I said, "Nothing! It's like rain without asking for rain. Eclipses save the sun and the moon, pray for rain when the weather is dry, and make predictions before deciding major events. It is not really that prayer is possible, but (just) as a political ornament (just to comfort the people). "

Therefore, the superior people think it is a political ornament, while the people think it is a performance of the gods in the sky. It is auspicious to think that it is a political ornament, and it is dangerous to think that it is a performance of the gods in the sky. "

Nothing in the sky is brighter than the sun and the moon; Nothing is brighter than fire and water on the ground; Of all things, nothing is brighter than Zhu Yu; Nothing is more obvious than politeness in human society. In fact, Xunzi advocated that "law is higher than king". His "ceremony" includes not only ethics and morality, but also the idea of "rule of law", which is different from Confucius' claim that "law is higher than king".

Therefore, if the sun and the moon are not in the sky, their brilliance will not be grand; Fire and water do not accumulate, and its brilliance is not vast; If the brilliance of Zhuyu is not revealed, then emperors and princes will not regard it as a treasure; If the etiquette is not implemented in the country, then a country's political achievements and reputation will not be prominent.

Therefore, the fate of mankind depends on how to treat nature, and the fate of a country depends on how to treat etiquette. Those who govern the people, respect the ritual system, and respect the sages can rule the world with the king; Only by attaching importance to the rule of law and caring for the people can you lead and be a leader. It is dangerous to covet personal gain and use fraudulent means more. If you try to use political power to harm or overthrow others, if you are insidious, you will be completely destroyed.

Instead of blindly looking up at the sky and breathing, how can we control it as one thing? Instead of blindly obeying and praising heaven, how can it be compared with mastering its laws and using them? Instead of waiting for a bumper harvest just because the weather is right, how can it be used to meet the seasonal changes? Instead of blindly letting things grow naturally and expecting them to increase, how can it be compared with giving full play to human intelligence to help them reproduce?

Instead of blindly thinking that natural materials will become useful things, how can it be compared with developing materials without burying them? Instead of blindly hoping to understand how everything came into being, how can it be compared with helping everything and making everything grow? Therefore, it is against the principle of everything to give up man-made efforts and hope in heaven.
