If you don't go against the farming season, the valley can't take food; If the number (ù) does not enter the pool (wū), the fish and turtles will not be able to eat; Axe gold gets into the mountain in time, and mywood can't be used. Welcome Julian Waghann to eat kettle pulp. Valley and fish turtles can't be eaten, and wood and wood can't be used, which makes people lose their lives (sāng) and die without regret. Keeping in good health and dying without regret is the beginning of kingly way.

Interpretation of vernacular:

If you don't go against the farming season, you can't eat all the food. Fish and turtles won't be eaten up unless they fish in the pond (in ancient times, it was stipulated that meshes less than four inches [now more than two inches and seven minutes] were dense nets, and fishing in the pond was forbidden). If the trees are cut down according to the season (when the vegetation withers, when the growing season ends), the wood is inexhaustible. People welcome their beloved army with rice bowls and soup pots.

Food, fish and turtles can't be eaten up, and firewood can't be used up. There is nothing wrong with letting the people feed people and bury the dead. People can't live in poverty, and the dead can't be buried. This is the beginning of kingliness.

Extended data creation background:

Mencius is the most famous Confucian master after Confucius. The core of his theory is benevolence, that is, the practice of the so-called king. Its theoretical basis is people-oriented thought, which attaches importance to people's right to exist. Therefore, Mencius hated the feudal princes for being heartless and brutally plundering the people. He satirized Liang, who claimed to be a saint, and angrily pointed out that some feudal princes claimed to be the parents of the people, but in fact they were worse than animals and ate people, which was the bane of the people.

Mencius is good at using metaphors and fables to explain the truth, and his argumentation skills are very clever, which is clearly reflected in this paper. Use various methods to lure the enemy into submission, use broad and sharp words, sometimes sharp, like to use parallelism to fight, and use a pen to be aggressive.
