What is the last sentence? Although the blessing has not arrived, the disaster is far away.

The original text is: people are good, although the blessing has not arrived, the disaster is far away; Man-made disaster, although the disaster has not arrived, the blessing is far away; People who do good, like the grass in the spring garden, grow longer without seeing its length. People who do evil are like grindstones. If they can't see the damage, they will lose money every day.

It means: kindness, although there is no blessing, will keep yourself away from disaster; Being vicious, even if there is no disaster from heaven, it will be farther and farther away from good luck. People who are kind to others are like grass in the spring park. It doesn't seem to be very high every day, but it grows every day. Evil people, like stones used to sharpen knives, seem to be intact, but they are actually consumed every day.

From Ceng Zi in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Academic circles have doubts about the historical value of Chunqiu. Hu Shi believes: "The book Spring and Autumn Annals can only be read as a reference book of orthodoxy, but not as a model history book. Later historians regarded Chunqiu as a model of history, which was a big mistake. Why? Because the purpose of history is to' tell the truth and remember the facts'.

The purpose of Chunqiu is not to record facts, but to write a personal judgment on facts. Mr. Xu also said: "It can be concluded that the motivation and purpose of Confucius' compilation of Chunqiu is not the so-called' historiography' today, but the solemn mission of giving full play to the good history of ancient times and replacing the judgment of God with the judgment of history. It can be said that this is a mission above historiography, so it is a classic rather than history. "

But there is no doubt about the record of Chunqiu in Historical Records.
