Time is not as important as terrain.

Mencius said: "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony." The city of three miles, the country of seven miles, was invincible when attacked by the Lord of the Rings. If the husband attacks it, he will get the right time; However, if you don't win, it's better to be in the right place at the right time. The city is not high, the pond is not deep, the army is not strong, and there are not many meters; Entrusting it to others is not as good as human harmony.

Mencius said: "The season and climate that are conducive to combat are not as important as the terrain that is conducive to combat. The terrain that is conducive to combat is not as important as the will of the people and the unity of mind (important). Surrounded by Three Mile City and a seven-mile-high wall, (the enemy) surrounded and attacked it but could not win. Since (the enemy) surrounded and attacked it, there must be conditions suitable for the season and climate; But we can't win yet. This is a season and climate conducive to combat, and the terrain conducive to combat is not as good as it is. The city wall is not high, the moat is not deep, the weapons are not sharp, the armor is not weak, and there is not much food; However, the defenders abandoned the city. This is because the terrain conducive to combat is not as good as the will of the people. Therefore, restricting people's movement cannot rely on the demarcated border, consolidating national defense cannot rely on mountains and rivers, and establishing prestige in the world cannot rely on the firmness and sharpness of weapons and equipment. A monarch who can practice benevolent government will have more people to help him; A monarch who cannot be benevolent will have fewer people to help him. Few people help him to the extreme, and even people inside and outside the family will betray him; Many people help him to the extreme, and everyone in the world will obey him. Attack those who are betrayed by their own families and others with the power that everyone in the world obeys. Therefore, a gentleman has learned the Tao, that is, not to fight. If he enters the war, he will surely win.

(1) the right time, the right place and the right people: Gou Wang Ziba said: "A simple but incompetent farmer who can't go to heaven or go to the ground will win the peace of people and will never waste everything." Gou Zi's "good weather" refers to farming time, "favorable location" refers to fertile soil, and "harmony between people" refers to division of labor. The "timing" mentioned by Mencius here refers to the timing and climate of fingertip soldiers; "Geographical location" refers to steep mountains and rivers and strong cities.

Mencius said, "The right time and place are not as good as human harmony, and the right place is not as good as the cooperation of Qi Xin. A small town with an inner wall of three miles and an outer wall of seven miles cannot be attacked on all sides. Since we are besieged on all sides, there is always a good time or place, but we still can't break through. It can be seen that the good time and place are not as good as people. On the other hand, the city wall is not high, the moat is not deep, the weapons and armor are not extremely strong, and the food and grass are not insufficient, but they still abandon the city and flee. It can be seen that the favorable terrain is not as good as Qixin cooperation. Therefore, people can't be bound by blocking the border, the country can't be saved by mountains and rivers, and the world can't be achieved by sharp weapons. People with morality get more help, while people without morality get less help. When there are few people to help, even relatives will betray; When the number of people who help is extremely high, all people will obey. To attack those who will betray their loved ones with the power of universal obedience will inevitably defeat the enemy without fighting. "

The relationship between heaven, earth and people has always been concerned by people. Who is the most important of the three has become a topic of discussion. As we quoted in the notes, Xunzi once discussed the problems of climate, geography, people and harmony from the perspective of agricultural production. But he didn't distinguish who was important and who wasn't, but the three were unequal, and the most important thing was harmony. Mencius mainly analyzes and discusses the relationship between climate, geography and human harmony from the military aspect, and has a clear-cut banner: "climate is not as good as geography, and geography is not as good as human harmony." Among the three, "harmony between people" is the most important decisive factor, followed by "geographical location" and "weather". This is inseparable from his thought of always attaching importance to people's subjective initiative, and also from his purpose of discussing climate, geography, people and relations, and also from his purpose of discussing climate, geography, people and relations. It is from emphasizing the importance of "harmony between people" that he came to the conclusion that "those who gain the Tao will help more, while those who lose the Tao will help less". This led the problem from military to politics, and actually returned to his "old-fashioned" topic of "benevolent governance". According to Mencius, the people can't be bound by blocking the border, and the country can't be saved by mountains and rivers. Therefore, there is no way to go abroad. We should reform and open up, strengthen our national strength and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. As long as this is achieved, that is, "those who get the word will help more", and if they help to the extreme, the people of the world will submit. Then there must be what Confucius said-"Then people from all directions will come without children." People from all over the world come to apply for studying abroad, doing business, and even applying for immigration and settlement with their wives and children. Where is the necessity of Frontier of Frontier? I'm afraid I can't get rid of it. In this way, "those who gain the Tao help more, those who lose it help less" has become a famous saying, so that we still often use it to evaluate international relations and condemn hegemonism. Of course, "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as the harmony between people" is also a famous saying, which is also widely used in business competitions, sports competitions, especially football competitions. This fully shows that its philosophy is rich, profound and broad. The so-called "people are United, Taishan is the top." Who said that "human harmony" is not the most important wealth?

This chapter analyzes many factors that determine the outcome of the war from the aspects of weather, geography and human harmony, and draws the conclusion that "those who gain the Tao will help more, while those who lose it will help less". The conclusion that "weather is not as good as geography, and geography is not as good as human harmony" reflects that Mencius regards "human harmony" as the key among the factors that determine the outcome of the war, showing his special attention to human factors. In the era of Mencius, it should be said that it is remarkable to have such an understanding. However, we should also see that the relationship among "time", "geographical location" and "human harmony" is inseparable, and under certain conditions, the priority of their important position will also change. Therefore, it is not appropriate to separate or even oppose the three, and make an absolutely unchanged understanding of which one is more important. This paper can be repeatedly demonstrated around the central argument, with prominent theme, full reasoning, clear hierarchy and smooth expression. The relationship between heaven, earth and people has always been concerned by people. Who is the most important of the three has become a topic of discussion. As we quoted in the notes, Xunzi once discussed the problems of climate, geography, people and harmony from the perspective of agricultural production. But he did not distinguish who is important and who is not, but the three are equally important and indispensable. Mencius mainly analyzes and discusses the relationship between climate, geography and human harmony from the military aspect, and has a clear-cut banner: "climate is not as good as geography, and geography is not as good as human harmony." Of the three, "harmony between people" is the most important and decisive factor, followed by "location" and "weather". This is inseparable from his thought of always attaching importance to people's subjective initiative, and also from his purpose of discussing weather, geography, people and relations. It is from emphasizing the importance of "harmony between people" that he came to the conclusion that "those who gain the Tao will help more, while those who lose the Tao will help less". This led the problem from military to politics, and actually returned to his "old-fashioned" topic of "benevolent governance". According to Mencius' point of view, border sealing can't control people and Jiangshan can't save the country. Therefore, there is no way out of the country. We should reform and open up, strengthen our national strength and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. As long as this is achieved, that is, "those who get the word will help more", and if they help to the extreme, the people of the world will submit. Then there must be what Confucius said-"Then people from all directions will come without children." People from all over the world come to apply for studying abroad, doing business, and even applying for immigration and settlement with their wives and children. Where is the need for "edge sealing"? I'm afraid I can't get rid of it. "Those who gain the Tao help more, those who lose it help less" has become a famous saying, so that we still often use it to evaluate international relations and condemn hegemonism. Of course, "the weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as the harmony between people" is also a famous saying, which is also widely used in business competitions, sports competitions, especially football competitions. This fully shows that its philosophy is rich, profound and broad. The so-called "people are United, Taishan is the top." Who said that "human harmony" is not the most important wealth? "

How do modern people view Mencius' thought of "harmony between people"?

Evaluation 1:

"Good weather" means "being in harmony with people at the right time and in the right place", and "being in harmony with people" means "the will of the people and internal unity". Among them, "harmony between people" is more important. Because "the right time" and "the right place" are objective conditions and external. And "human harmony" is subjective and internal. Good opportunities can be created, and bad environment can be changed. Once the good cooperative relationship between people is lost, it will only lead to failure. In the era when Mencius lived, it was quite remarkable to have such foresight.

Evaluation 2:

We should see that "the right time, the right place and the harmony between people" are inseparable, and under certain conditions, the priority of its important position will also change. Therefore, it is not appropriate to separate or even oppose the three, nor can we make an absolutely constant understanding of which side is more important. Off-topic: an example of the ancients winning by "time" A straw boat borrows an arrow. With the help of foggy weather, Cao Jun was confused and forced to shoot many arrows at his straw boat. Battle of Red Cliffs. Zhuge Liang, with the help of the east wind, made many burning ships rush to Cao Jun's warships, burning Cao Jun to pieces, killing more than half.

Mencius (372 BC-289 BC), whose name was Ke, Zi Ju (to be determined),No. Zou (now Zoucheng City, Shandong Province), was a disciple of Confucius' grandson. China, a thinker, educator, essayist and politician in the ancient Warring States period, was one of the founders and a famous representative of Confucianism. Mencius' ancestors were aristocrats in the state of Lu, and later his family declined and moved from the state of Lu to Zou (now southeast of Zoucheng, Shandong). He lost his father when he was three years old, and Meng Mu brought him up. When Mencius was a child, his mother moved three times to give him a good learning environment. Later, people called it the Three Major Movements in Meng Mu. Meng Mu's godson is very strict, and his "moving godson" and "broken loom" have become a beautiful talk throughout the ages. There is a saying in Saint Amethyst that "Meng Mu used to choose a neighbor". Mencius lived in an era when a hundred schools of thought contended, and "Yang Zhu's words prevailed in the world". Mencius criticized it fiercely from the standpoint of Confucianism. Mencius inherited and developed Confucius' thoughts and put forward a complete ideological system. Mencius traveled around Qi, Jin, Song, Xue, Lu, Teng and Liang countries to lobby his thoughts of "benevolent governance" and "kingliness". However, because the vassal states were busy with war at that time, his theory of benevolent governance was considered as "circuitous and wider than things", and almost no one adopted his thought of governing the country. He returned to China to give lectures and write books with his disciples, and wrote seven "Mencius". Mencius maintained and developed Confucianism, put forward the theory of "benevolent governance" and "good nature" and adhered to "people-oriented". His thoughts have a great influence on later generations. But his position was not very high before the Song Dynasty. Since Han Yu listed Mencius as the only figure in pre-Qin Confucianism who inherited Confucius' "Taoist orthodoxy", there has been a "promotion movement" of Mencius, and his status has gradually improved. His theory had a great influence on the Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Xining in northern Song Shenzong (107 1), Mencius was first listed as one of the subjects in the imperial examination, and was later promoted to a Confucian classic. Zhu in the Southern Song Dynasty combined it with The Analects of Confucius, Daxue and The Doctrine of the Mean into four books. From the Yuan Dynasty to the first year of Shun Dynasty (1330), Mencius was named "Yashenggong" and later called "Yashenggong", ranking second only to Confucius. His thoughts and Confucius' thoughts are collectively called "The Way of Confucius and Mencius". One-year-old: In 390 BC, in the twelfth year of Zhou 'an, Mencius was born in Fu Village, west foot of Zou Maanshan. According to the inscription in Mencius, he was "the son of Lu Gong and Meng Sun" and moved to Zou. In the autumn of 389 BC, Mencius was one year old. Mencius once imitated Confucius and led his disciples to lobby countries. However, it was not accepted by all countries at that time, and he retired to write with his disciples. Mencius has been handed down for seven generations, and its theoretical starting point is the theory of good nature, which puts forward "benevolent government" and "kingly way" and advocates rule by virtue.

The honor and disgrace behind it

Mencius is one of the most important representatives of Confucianism, but his position before the Song Dynasty was not very high. Since Han Yu wrote The Original Road in the mid-Tang Dynasty and listed Mencius as the only figure in pre-Qin Confucianism who inherited Confucian orthodoxy, there has been an "upgrading movement" of Mencius, and the status of Mencius and his works has gradually risen. Song Shenzong Xining four years (107 1), Mencius was included in the imperial examination for the first time. In the sixth year of Yuanfeng (1083), Mencius was officially named "Zou Guogong" for the first time, and he was allowed to enjoy the Confucius Temple the following year. Later, Mencius was promoted to a Confucian classic. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu combined Mencius with The Analects of Confucius, Daxue and The Doctrine of the Mean into four books, and their actual status was even higher than that of the Five Classics. From the Yuan Dynasty to the first year of Shun Dynasty (1330), Mencius was named "Ya", and later it was called "Ya", which means Confucius who is second only to "Most Holy". Together with Confucius, they are called "Confucius and Mencius". For Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, there was a collection of essays on Mencius, which deleted the chapters and sentences in Mencius, such as "People are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the least", "A thief is called a husband, and killing a gentleman is unheard of".
