Mencius said: "The weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony." What do you mean?

Mencius said: "The weather is not conducive to combat, the geographical location is not conducive to combat, the geographical location is not conducive to combat, and the people's hearts and internal unity are not conducive to combat."

Excerpt from the original text of "Tao helps more, Tao helps less" (selected from Mencius Gongsun Chou):

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.

Translation:

Mencius said: "The weather conditions conducive to combat are not comparable to the geographical situation conducive to combat, and the geographical situation conducive to combat is not comparable to the people's hearts and internal unity in combat."

The inner city of Li San in Fiona Fang and the outer city of Qi Li in Fiona Fang were surrounded and attacked, but they could not win. Surround and attack it, you will definitely get a weather season that is conducive to combat, but you can't win, because the weather conditions that are conducive to combat are not as good as the geographical situation that is conducive to combat.

About the author:

Mencius (about 372 BC-289 BC) was born in Zou (now Zoucheng City, Shandong Province) during the Warring States Period. A famous philosopher, thinker, politician and educator in the Warring States period, one of the representatives of Confucianism, was second only to Confucius, and was also called "Confucius and Mencius" with Confucius. Advocating "benevolent government", he first put forward the idea that "the people are more expensive than the monarch".

The Original Road by Han Yu listed Mencius as a Confucian figure who inherited the Confucian orthodoxy in the pre-Qin period, while the Yuan Dynasty posthumously awarded Mencius as "elegant Gong Sheng" and respected him as "elegant saint". Mencius is a collection of essays compiled by Mencius and his disciples, which advocates "benevolence-oriented".

Representative works include "I want what I want" and "If you get it, you will get more help, and if you lose it, you will get less help". Born in sorrow, died in happiness, wealth can not be immoral, and I am the same in the countryside, all of which have been included in middle school Chinese textbooks.
