The forester would not come, and the duke was going to kill him. With reference to this incident, Confucius said, "The determined officer never forgets that his end may be in a ditch or a stream; the brave officer never forgets that he may lose his head." What was it in the forester that Confucius thus approved? He approved his not going to the duke, when summoned by the article which was not appropriate to him. If one go to see the princes without waiting to be invited, what can be thought of him? Moreover, that sentence, "By bending only one cubit, you make eight cubits straight," is spoken with reference to the gain that may be got. If gain be the object, then, if it can be got by bending eight cubits to make one cubit straight, may we likewise do that? Formerly, the officer Zhao Jian made Wang Liang act as charioteer for his favourite Xi, when, in the course of a whole day, they did not get a single bird. The favourite Xi reported this result, saying, "He is the poorest charioteer in the world." Some one told this to Wang Liang, who said, "I beg leave to try again." By dint of pressing, this was accorded to him, when in one morning they got ten birds. The favourite, reporting this result, said, "He is the best charioteer in the world." Jian said, "I will make him always drive your chariot for you." When he told Wang Liang so, however, Liang refused, saying, "I drove for him, strictly observing the proper rules for driving, and in the whole day he did not get one bird. I drove for him so as deceitfully to intercept the birds, and in one morning he got ten. It is said in the Book of Poetry, 'There is no failure in the management of their horses; The arrows are discharged surely, like the blows of an axe.' I am not accustomed to drive for a mean man. I beg leave to decline the office." Thus this charioteer even was ashamed to bend improperly to the will of such an archer. Though, by bending to it, they would have caught birds and animals sufficient to form a hill, he would not do so. If I were to bend my principles and follow those princes, of what kind would my conduct be? And you are wrong. Never has a man who has bent himself been able to make others straight.'<p class="ctext"></p></td></tr> <tr id="n1661"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"><a href="mengzi/teng-wen-gong-ii#n1661" class="popup" style="font-size: 12pt;">7</a> <div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="dictionary.pl?if=en&id=1661" class="sprite-more" title="Jump to dictionary" rel="nofollow">Jump to dictionary<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="text.pl?node=1661&if=en&show=parallel" class="sprite-parallel" title="Show parallel passages" >Show parallel passages<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="javascript:getCommentary('1661');" class="sprite-zhu" title="Show commentary" >Show commentary<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="text.pl?node=1661&if=en&show=meta" class="sprite-meta" title="Show additional information" >Show additional information<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div></td><td valign="top" style="white-space: nowrap; color: #777777;" class="ctext opt">滕文公下:</td><td class="ctext"> <div id="comm1661"></div>景春曰：「公孫衍、張儀豈不誠大丈夫哉？一怒而諸侯懼，安居而天下熄。」</td></tr> <tr id="n13337"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"></td><td valign="top" style="color: #777777;" class="etext opt">Teng Wen Gong II:</td><td class="etext"> <div id="comm13337"></div>Jing Chun said to Mencius, 'Are not Gong Sun Yan and Zhang Yi really great men?

You must be respectful; you must be careful. Do not disobey your husband.'" Thus, to look upon compliance as their correct course is the rule for women. To dwell in the wide house of the world, to stand in the correct seat of the world, and to walk in the great path of the world; when he obtains his desire for office, to practise his principles for the good of the people; and when that desire is disappointed, to practise them alone; to be above the power of riches and honours to make dissipated, of poverty and mean condition to make swerve from principle, and of power and force to make bend - these characteristics constitute the great man.'<p class="ctext"></p></td></tr> <tr id="n1662"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"><a href="mengzi/teng-wen-gong-ii#n1662" class="popup" style="font-size: 12pt;">8</a> <div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="dictionary.pl?if=en&id=1662" class="sprite-more" title="Jump to dictionary" rel="nofollow">Jump to dictionary<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="javascript:getCommentary('1662');" class="sprite-zhu" title="Show commentary" >Show commentary<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="text.pl?node=1662&if=en&show=meta" class="sprite-meta" title="Show additional information" >Show additional information<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div></td><td valign="top" style="white-space: nowrap; color: #777777;" class="ctext opt">滕文公下:</td><td class="ctext"> <div id="comm1662"></div>周霄問曰：「古之君子仕乎？」</td></tr> <tr id="n13339"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"></td><td valign="top" style="color: #777777;" class="etext opt">Teng Wen Gong II:</td><td class="etext"> <div id="comm13339"></div>Zhou Xiao asked Mencius, saying, 'Did superior men of old time take office?'</td></tr> <tr id="n13305"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"> <div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="dictionary.pl?if=en&id=13305" class="sprite-more" title="Jump to dictionary" rel="nofollow">Jump to dictionary<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="text.pl?node=13305&if=en&show=parallel" class="sprite-parallel" title="Show parallel passages" >Show parallel passages<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="text.pl?node=13305&if=en&show=meta" class="sprite-meta" title="Show additional information" >Show additional information<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div></td><td valign="top" style="white-space: nowrap; color: #777777;" class="ctext opt"></td><td class="ctext"> <div id="comm13305"></div>孟子曰：「仕。傳曰：『孔子三月無君，則皇皇如也，出疆必載質。』公明儀曰：『古之人三月無君則弔。』」</td></tr> <tr id="n13340"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"></td><td valign="top" style="color: #777777;" class="etext opt"></td><td class="etext"> <div id="comm13340"></div>Mencius replied, 'They did.

It is said in the Book of Rites, "A prince ploughs himself, and is assisted by the people, to supply the millet for sacrifice. His wife keeps silkworms, and unwinds their cocoons, to make the garments for sacrifice." If the victims be not perfect, the millet not pure, and the dress not complete, he does not presume to sacrifice.

Tang sent messengers to inquire why he did not sacrifice. He replied, "I have no means of supplying the necessary victims." On this, Tang caused oxen and sheep to be sent to him, but he ate them, and still continued not to sacrifice. Tang again sent messengers to ask him the same question as before, when he replied, "I have no means of obtaining the necessary millet." On this, Tang sent the mass of the people of Bo to go and till the ground for him, while the old and feeble carried their food to them. The chief of Ge led his people to intercept those who were thus charged with wine, cooked rice, millet, and paddy, and took their stores from them, while they killed those who refused to give them up. There was a boy who had some millet and flesh for the labourers, who was thus slain and robbed. What is said in the Book of History, "The chief of Ge behaved as an enemy to the provision-carriers," has reference to this. Because of his murder of this boy, Tang proceeded to punish him. All within the four seas said, "It is not because he desires the riches of the kingdom, but to avenge a common man and woman." When Tang began his work of executing justice, he commenced with Ge, and though he made eleven punitive expeditions, he had not an enemy in the kingdom. When he pursued his work in the east, the rude tribes in the west murmured. So did those on the north, when he was engaged in the south. Their cry was "Why does he make us last." Thus, the people's longing for him was like their longing for rain in a time of great drought. The frequenters of the markets stopped not. Those engaged in weeding in the fields made no change in their operations. While he punished their rulers, he consoled the people. His progress was like the falling of opportune rain, and the people were delighted. It is said in the Book of History, "We have waited for our prince. When our prince comes, we may escape from the punishments under which we suffer." There being some who would not become the subjects of Zhou, king Wu proceeded to punish them on the east. He gave tranquillity to their people, who welcomed him with baskets full of their black and yellow silks, saying "From henceforth we shall serve the sovereign of our dynasty of Zhou, that we may be made happy by him." So they joined themselves, as subjects, to the great city of Zhou. Thus, the men of station of Shang took baskets full of black and yellow silks to meet the men of station of Zhou, and the lower classes of the one met those of the other with baskets of rice and vessels of congee. Wu saved the people from the midst of fire and water, seizing only their oppressors, and destroying them.' In the Great Declaration it is said, "My power shall be put forth, and, invading the territories of Shang, I will seize the oppressor. I will put him to death to punish him - so shall the greatness of my work appear, more glorious than that of Tang." Song is not, as you say, practising true royal government, and so forth. If it were practising royal government, all within the four seas would be lifting up their heads, and looking for its prince, wishing to have him for their sovereign. Great as Qi and Chu are, what would there be to fear from them?'<p class="ctext"></p></td></tr> <tr id="n1665"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"><a href="mengzi/teng-wen-gong-ii#n1665" class="popup" style="font-size: 12pt;">11</a> <div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="dictionary.pl?if=en&id=1665" class="sprite-more" title="Jump to dictionary" rel="nofollow">Jump to dictionary<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="javascript:getCommentary('1665');" class="sprite-zhu" title="Show commentary" >Show commentary<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="text.pl?node=1665&if=en&show=meta" class="sprite-meta" title="Show additional information" >Show additional information<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div></td><td valign="top" style="white-space: nowrap; color: #777777;" class="ctext opt">滕文公下:</td><td class="ctext"> <div id="comm1665"></div>孟子謂戴不勝曰：「子欲子之王之善與？我明告子。有楚大夫於此，欲其子之齊語也，則使齊人傅諸？使楚人傅諸？」</td></tr> <tr id="n13359"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"></td><td valign="top" style="color: #777777;" class="etext opt">Teng Wen Gong II:</td><td class="etext"> <div id="comm13359"></div>Mencius said to Dai Bu Sheng, 'I see that you are desiring your king to be virtuous, and will plainly tell you how he may be made so.

Shun employed Yu to reduce the waters to order. Yu dug open their obstructed channels, and conducted them to the sea. He drove away the snakes and dragons, and forced them into the grassy marshes. On this, the waters pursued their course through the country, even the waters of the Jiang, the Huai, the He, and the Han, and the dangers and obstructions which they had occasioned were removed.

Oppressive sovereigns arose one after another, who pulled down houses to make ponds and lakes, so that the people knew not where they could rest in quiet; they threw fields out of cultivation to form gardens and parks, so that the people could not get clothes and food. Afterwards, corrupt speakings and oppressive deeds became more rife; gardens and parks, ponds and lakes, thickets and marshes became more numerous, and birds and beasts swarmed. By the time of the tyrant Zhou, the kingdom was again in a state of great confusion. Zhou Gong assisted king Wu, and destroyed Zhou. He smote Yan, and after three years put its sovereign to death.

He drove far away also the tigers, leopards, rhinoceroses, and elephants - and all the people was greatly delighted. It is said in the Book of History, "Great and splendid were the plans of king Wen! Greatly were they carried out by the energy of king Wu! They are for the assistance and instruction of us who are of an after day.

Unemployed scholars indulge in unreasonable discussions. The words of Yang Zhu and Mo Di fill the country. If you listen to people's discourses throughout it, you will find that they have adopted the views either of Yang or of Mo. Now, Yang's principle is "each one for himself," which does not acknowledge the claims of the sovereign. Mo's principle is "to love all equally," which does not acknowledge the peculiar affection due to a father. But to acknowledge neither king nor father is to be in the state of a beast. Gong Meng Yi said, "In their kitchens, there is fat meat. In their stables, there are fat horses. But their people have the look of hunger, and on the wilds there are those who have died of famine. This is leading on beasts to devour men." If the principles of Yang and Mo be not stopped, and the principles of Confucius not set forth, then those perverse speakings will delude the people, and stop up the path of benevolence and righteousness. When benevolence and righteousness are stopped up, beasts will be led on to devour men, and men will devour one another. I am alarmed by these things, and address myself to the defence of the doctrines of the former sages, and to oppose Yang and Mo. I drive away their licentious expressions, so that such perverse speakers may not be able to show themselves. Their delusions spring up in men's minds, and do injury to their practice of affairs. Shown in their practice of affairs, they are pernicious to their government. When sages shall rise up again, they will not change my words.</td></tr> <tr id="n13331"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"> <div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="dictionary.pl?if=en&id=13331" class="sprite-more" title="Jump to dictionary" rel="nofollow">Jump to dictionary<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="text.pl?node=13331&if=en&show=parallel" class="sprite-parallel" title="Show parallel passages" >Show parallel passages<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div><div style="display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;'"><a href="text.pl?node=13331&if=en&show=meta" class="sprite-meta" title="Show additional information" >Show additional information<div style="display: inline;"></div></a></div></td><td valign="top" style="white-space: nowrap; color: #777777;" class="ctext opt"></td><td class="ctext"> <div id="comm13331"></div>「昔者禹抑洪水而天下平，周公兼夷狄驅猛獸而百姓寧，孔子成《春秋》而亂臣賊子懼。《<a href="book-of-poetry" class="popup">詩</a>》云：『戎狄是膺，荊舒是懲，則莫我敢承。』無父無君，是周公所膺也。我亦欲正人心，息邪說，距詖行，放淫辭，以承三聖者；豈好辯哉？予不得已也。能言距楊墨者，聖人之徒也。」</td></tr> <tr id="n13371"><td align="right" valign="top" style="width: 50px; text-align: left;"></td><td valign="top" style="color: #777777;" class="etext opt"></td><td class="etext"> <div id="comm13371"></div>'In former times, Yu repressed the vast waters of the inundation, and the country was reduced to order.

Confucius completed the "Spring and Autumn," and rebellious ministers and villainous sons were struck with terror. It is said in the Book of Poetry, "He smote the barbarians of the west and the north; He punished Jing and Shu; And no one dared to resist us." These father-deniers and king-deniers would have been smitten by Zhou Gong. I also wish to rectify men's hearts, and to put an end to those perverse doctrines, to oppose their one-sided actions and banish away their licentious expressions - and thus to carry on the work of the three sages.

Just then his brother came into the house, and said, "It is the flesh of that cackling thing," upon which he went out and vomited it.
