It originated from Mencius.

original text

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. Therefore, the people in the territory do not take the border, the country does not take the risk of mountains and rivers, and the benefits of the world do not take the benefits of war. Those who gain the Tao help more, while those who lose the Tao help less. If you help less, your relatives will help, and if you help more, the world will be smooth. Take advantage of the world and attack your relatives. A gentleman wins without fighting. "

Mencius said: the weather suitable for fighting is not as good as the terrain conducive to fighting, and the terrain conducive to fighting is not as good as the unity of the people.

The inner city of Fiona Fang Sanli and the outer city of Fiona Fang Qili surrounded the attack, but they couldn't win. Surround and attack people who must have weather suitable for fighting, but there is no victory. This is the weather suitable for combat is not as good as the terrain conducive to combat. The city walls are not high, the moat is not deep, the weapons and armor are not sharp and strong, and there is not much food: but the defenders still abandon the city and flee, which is why the terrain conducive to fighting is not as good as the unity of the people up and down. Therefore, we cannot restrict the people by blocking the border, consolidate national defense by mountains and rivers, and establish prestige in the world by sharp weapons. A benevolent monarch will get more help, and a monarch who does not will get less help. When there is little help, relatives will betray; People all over the world will obey when help is extreme. Attacking people who betray their loved ones with the advantage of the world's submission, so the benevolent monarch will either not fight, but if he fights, he will win. ? 9? 0
