Whose famous saying is that the weather is not as good as the place?

"The weather is not as good as the geographical position" is a famous saying of Mencius, which comes from Mencius.

Excerpts from the original text:

Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are outmatched by terrestrial advantages, which in turn are outmatched by the harmony among people. 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, it will be the right time, and if it is invincible, it will be the right place.

Translation:

The weather and seasons that are conducive to combat are not comparable to the geographical situation that is conducive to combat, and the geographical situation that is conducive to combat is not comparable to the people's hearts and internal unity in combat. (For example, in a small town in Lisan, Fiona Fang, there is only an outer city in Qili, Fiona Fang, surrounded by all sides to attack, but it can't win. Surrounding the city on all sides will certainly give you weather and seasons conducive to combat, but you can't win. The season is not as good as the geographical situation conducive to combat.

Text appreciation

During the Warring States period, the ruling class waged many unjust wars for cities and land. Starting from advocating benevolent government and winning people's hearts, Mencius thought that the weather was not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position was not as good as human harmony, and put forward the idea of "winning people's hearts and winning the world". He emphasized the role of "human harmony" in the war, that is, the will of the people and internal unity.

This idea was an excellent opinion at that time and had universal significance. The center of the article is to clarify the key to the victory or defeat of the war and begin to put forward arguments. The following three conditions are compared to prove the importance of human harmony, and finally the conclusion that "Tao is invincible" is drawn. The structure is compact and the words are full of momentum.
