Philosophical Treasure Buried for Thousands of Years —— Collation and Translation of Guanzi infield

Guanzi is an important ancient book in China, which Mr. Luo Genze called "the academic treasure of the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties". This book covers philosophy, politics, economy, military science, management science and natural science, so it occupies an important position in the history of China thought. Internal Strength is a philosophical treatise with high gold content in Guanzi, in which the discussion on "essence" is unique in the history of China's philosophy. In fact, it is mutually confirmed with the core ideas of Zhouyi, Laozi and Zhuangzi, but it reveals the core information of monasticism more clearly than Zhouyi, Laozi and Zhuangzi, and it is directly revealed at the beginning. Unfortunately, scholars who blindly engage in book research can't understand the author's thoughts. Instead, I use my own imagination to correct it. This is called digging, which is a sigh.

The translation of this school is not for academic research, but for the reference and confirmation of Taoist colleagues. If scholars want to explore the essence of the text, they must get the guidance of discerning people and practice it themselves. They should be sincere, not just thinking about words and wasting their thoughts.

The original text is not divided into chapters. For the convenience of reading, the proofreading is divided into five chapters.

? chapter one

Original text:

The essence of all things, this is alive. The next grain is born, and the top is the star. Flowing between heaven and earth, called ghosts and gods; Hidden in the chest, it is called a saint. Therefore, qi is as if in the sky, as if in the jade garden, as if in the sea, and as if in oneself. Therefore, if you are angry, you can rely on your strength and be virtuous; Don't use voice to call, but use voice to say hello.) Modern people are puzzled by this, thinking that the shape of "Yi" is close to the error, and the diameter is changed to "Yi". Change it back according to the original. Respect without losing means to be virtuous, wise and achieve everything.

Vernacular meaning:

The essence of all things in the universe (each has its own characteristics and functions), and the biggest feature of this essence mentioned by monks (according to Da Yi called Ganyuan) is that it can give birth to all things. Particles on the ground are produced below, and the sun, moon and stars of celestial bodies are formed above. They flow between heaven and earth and are called ghosts and gods. Hiding in people's hearts makes them saints. Therefore, this essence, its bright appearance seems to rise to the sky, its dark appearance seems to be hidden in the abyss, its soft appearance seems to be immersed in the sea, but in the end it seems to be within itself. Therefore, this essence can be retained not by strength, but by virtue; You can't call it (external) sound, but you can welcome it by listening (smelling back) inward. If a yogi can respect it without losing it, it is called "becoming a virtue". Success in virtue will lead to wisdom consciousness, with which everything can be understood.

chapter two

Original text:

The punishment of normal mind (general form) is self-sufficient and self-sufficient. If you lose, you will take pleasure in sorrow. Being able to worry and be happy, being greedy for profit, is counterproductive. He's heart's love, Ang Lee Yi Ning, don't bother or mess, and be self-sufficient. Folding (with folding) seems to be on the edge, as if impossible, as if infinite. This record is not far away, and its virtues are used every day.

The husband is a Taoist, so he is full, and people can't be solid. Gone forever, here we go again. Don't hear the sound, die in your heart; I can't see its shape, and obscenity lives with me. See its shape, don't smell its sound, and make it, it is the Tao. Where there is nothing to do, be kind and safe (fake why) (through you). Calm down, Tao can stop. The road is not far, the people can produce; People know that roads are inseparable. Therefore, it is impossible to be alone, and it is impossible to be alone. Love of Tao, evil sound and sound, silence of heart (note diameter changed to "meaning", now changed back) can be used. Those who know can't say what they say, see what they see and listen to what they hear. Therefore, cultivate the mind and be conformal; What people lose is death, but what they get is life; What is lost is defeated, and what is gained is achieved. Where the Tao has no roots, no stems, no leaves and no glory, everything is born, everything is successful, and life is called Tao.

God is right, landlords are flat and people are quiet. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, when the air is also; Mountains, mountains, valleys, and the materials of the land are also; This is a man's plan to get what he wants. Therefore, saints change with the times, but move from things. You can be positive and quiet, and then decide. In the middle, eyes and ears are smart, limbs are strong, and it can be a quiet house. Those who are refined are also refined in qi. Qi and Tao are life, life is thinking, thinking is knowing, and knowing is stopping. The shape of a mortal's heart will kill him if he knows more.

Vernacular meaning:

The formation of sage wisdom is the result of the accumulation of essence, which is self-sufficient and self-sufficient. The reason why the heart loses its conscience must be because of worry, joy, happiness, anger, lust and greed. If we can get rid of the interference of worry, joy, happiness, anger, lust and greed, we can return to a calm and normal state. The characteristics of the heart need stability and tranquility most. If you remain undisturbed, inner peace will naturally occur. To the awakened one, this mind is clear and seems to be around, but to the fascinated one, it seems to be in a trance, as if you can't find it, and it seems to have no end. In fact, if we calm down and look at it, it is not far away, and people enjoy its benefits every day.

In fact, Tao Qi has filled our bodies, but people often can't persist. When it leaves, it never seems to come back. When it comes, people can't let it take root and sprout and live forever. It is so secret that no one can hear its movement, but it is prominently displayed in people's hearts; It's too dark to see its shape clearly, but it grows with us. You can't see its shape or hear its sound, but you can make everything grow in order. This power is the Tao. All Tao has no fixed place to live, and it is good to live. If you are calm, you can stay. The road is not far, and people are on it; Tao never leaves people, and people realize something. So since the Tao is clear, it seems that it can be found; Boundless and seemingly untraceable. The nature of Tao is abhorrence of spoken language. Only by listening to introspection and meditation can we gain enlightenment. Tao, this thing, can not be explained by words, can not be seen with eyes, can not be heard with ears; It is used to cultivate the mind and correct the body. People will die if they lose it, and they will live if they get it; If you lose it, you will fail, and if you get it, you will succeed. Tao has no roots, no stems, no leaves and no flowers. But everything is born of it and grows because of it, so it is called "Tao".

Heaven is based on righteousness (the movement of the sun determines the orientation of the four meanings of east, west, north and south), tunnels are based on flat (the plain is the representative of the earth, and mountains, rivers and valleys are based on the horizon), while people who are sons of heaven and earth are based on silence. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the four seasons of the day. Mountains, rivers and valleys are the material of the earth, and taking and taking are people's considerations. Therefore, saints conform to the times but their mentality does not change with the situation, allowing things to change without changing their inner self. Only when you can be positive can you be quiet and stable. If you have a stable heart, you can be smart and strong, and you can be a place to keep the essence. The so-called "essence" is the essence of the qi of heaven and earth. This kind of qi (vibration force) is produced through monasticism. After it is produced, it can draw back the attention of pedestrians. When the attention is focused inward, you will have the awareness of the present, and with the awareness of the present, you can stop. Generally speaking, if you seek too much from the outside, you will lose mindfulness and be ignorant of your own nature.

? chapter three

Original text:

One thing can be called God, and one thing can be called Wisdom. It's not easy to get angry, and it's not easy to get smart. Only a good gentleman can do it! If you don't lose, you can rule everything. A gentleman makes things, not for things, but for reasons. Governance is in the heart, governance is in the mouth, governance is imposed on others, but the world is governance. A word for the world, a word for the world. This is also called.

If the shape is wrong, Germany will not come; If you are restless, your heart will die. Take morality from the crowd, benevolence from righteousness, but obscene, but extremely conscious and omniscient. It is said that loyalty is right, not to confuse officials with things or with their hearts.

God is at home, and he won't think when he comes. If you lose, you will be chaotic, and if you win, you will be cured. Respect others, and the essence comes. Think carefully, prefer to think, be strict and respectful, and strive for perfection. Don't give up, eyes and ears are not obscene.

The heart has no other plan, the right heart is in the middle, and everything is measured. The Tao is in the world, and the Tao is in the people's place. The people must know it. In a word, the solution is to look up at the sky, down-to-earth and fill Kyushu. What is the solution? In my heart. My heart is in charge, and the official is in charge; I feel at ease, and the official is safe. The heart of the ruler is also the heart of the peacemaker.

The heart is full of scheming, and the heart is thoughtful. The heart of another heart, the sound (press: someone changed it to "meaning", wrong) said first. Sound (someone changed it to "meaning", wrong) and then shape, shape and then say. Do what you say, and cure what you do. Without treatment, it will be chaotic, and chaos is death.

The essence is self-generated, and the external security is glorious, while the internal thought is that Quan Yuan is peaceful and peaceful. If you don't do it, you will be solid; There is no shortage of springs, and the nine orifices are connected. It is the ability to be poor in heaven and earth and loved by the whole world. There is no chaos inside and no evil outside. The heart is all in the middle, the shape is all outside, and there is no natural disaster or man-made disaster, so it is called a saint.

Vernacular meaning:

One thing (called "Gan Yuan" in Zhouyi) can be changed, so it is called "God". One thing that people can do (that is, cultivate monasteries) to promote this change is called "wisdom". This thing has changed several times, but it is still its own "qi" after all, which has contributed to the change of qi, but its own heart remains unchanged, and only a persistent gentleman can do it! If you persist in not losing, you can command everything. A gentleman makes good use of foreign things instead of being dominated by them, because he has the means of "getting one" and knows the truth of self-cultivation. If there is a repaired heart in your heart, what you say will be appropriate and appropriate, and what you add to others will be appropriate and appropriate. In this way, the world will be well governed. The so-called "once a word is said, it is safe", which is the truth.

Ned won't come if his appearance is incorrect; If inner peace is not empty, the heart will not be repaired. Shaping Ned, such as the benevolence of heaven and the righteousness of earth, will suddenly reach the highest state of the gods and see the truth of all things. Keep quiet without making mistakes, don't let foreign things disturb your senses, and don't let your senses disturb your heart. This is called "gaining something".

God is in my heart. It comes and goes, but few people know it. When it leaves, people's hearts will be confused, and when it comes back, people's hearts will be stable. If you can be respectful and clean, this god will come naturally. Think deeply and understand it, calm your distractions, "grind" it like jade, and treat it with a serious and pious attitude, and this "essence" (god) will settle down forever. With this "essential" obsession, organs such as eyes and ears will not be confused by foreign objects.

If the mind has no plan, it can maintain a calm and stable state. With such a sitting heart, we can handle things just right, just right. Tao is everywhere, everyone has his own tools, but it is rare for all beings to know it. As long as you get the true story, even a few words, if it can be realized, you can go to heaven and land, release it to the ends of the earth, and fill Kyushu with dragons. How can it be achieved? You should cultivate your mind. When the mind is cultivated, the senses will be tamed; When you are calm, your senses will be quiet. The main body of cultivation is the heart, and it is the heart that finally calms down.

There is a heart in my heart, and there is a heart in my heart. The heart in that heart is guided by the "big voice", and that sincerity can be revealed. After the sincerity is revealed, the consciousness awakens, and the consciousness awakens to undertake the great task of nourishing qi and leveling the world, so that the body can be cultivated. If you can't manage it, it will cause confusion; Chaos will lead to extinction.

When essence exists, it will naturally grow, which is manifested in its outward expression and bright colors, while what it contains is an inexhaustible spring, which is the source of qi, vast and peaceful. The source is not dry, and the limbs can be strong; The fountain is not exhausted, and the nine orifices can be reached from it. Only in this way can we know what's going on in the world and have a broad mind. There is no chaos inside and no evil outside. A man with a sound mind inside and a sound body outside is called a saint.

? chapter four

Original text:

People can be calm, with broad skin, smart eyes and ears and strong bones. It is possible to be generous in big clothes. In view of the Qing Dynasty, it's up to Daming. There is nothing wrong with being cautious, new in virtue, well-known in the world, and extremely poor in four aspects. It is said that you got it from the heart. However, it is not the opposite. This kind of life is terrible.

Every road must be dense, wide and comfortable, firm and solid. Sticking to the good and driving away prostitution (explaining) is not only extreme, but also against morality. Heart and heart cannot be hidden, but in description, they can be found in skin color. Be kind to others and be close as brothers; Evil spirits welcome people and harm soldiers. Silent voice is a disease. The shape of the heart is bright, and parents look at it. Reward is not enough to persuade good, punishment is not enough to punish, and the world listens to it with spirit.

Beating (beating) is like a god, and everything is reserved. Can you fight? Can you do it? Can you know good or bad without divination? Can you stop? Can you do that? Can you get yourself without asking others? Think, think, think again. If you think about it, but you can't get it, ghosts and gods will get it. It is not the power of ghosts and gods, but also the essence.

Vernacular meaning:

Vernacular meaning:

If a person can achieve the state of calmness, his skin is full, his eyes and ears are smart, and his bones and muscles are strong. Mentally, he is an indomitable spirit, with clear eyes and insight into everything. Be careful, keep quiet, make no mistakes, gain new virtue, and know things in the world, even things far away. This development of respect for its intrinsic essence is called intrinsic gain. But some people can't return to this state, which is caused by the differences in life.

Tao must be circuitous and secret, broad and colorful, solid and powerful. You can keep good and never give up, exorcise evil spirits and float until you reach the highest state of Tao, and then you can start all over again and return to your original source. A sound heart cannot be hidden inside, but can only be hidden outside. It is naturally manifested in appearance and appearance, as well as in skin color. Treat people with kindness, not as good as brothers; Evil spirits do more harm than sword soldiers. Silence is better than sound. This image is brighter than the sun and the moon, and it is more thorough to see things than parents know their children. Reward does not necessarily persuade good, and punishment does not necessarily punish. And if a person grasps the mystery of this invisible qi, he will win the conviction of the world; If he is cool-headed, he can make people all over the world listen.

If I can concentrate on Qi, I will reach the realm where everything belongs to me with the help of God. The question is, can people concentrate? Can you care? Can you predict bad luck without divination? Can you stop (delusion)? Can you put it down if you want to? Can you solve the problem yourself without asking others? Think about it! Think about it! Think again! If you can't figure it out, the ghost will help you figure it out. In fact, this is not the power of ghosts and gods, but the highest function of essence.

? chapter five

Original text:

The whole body is healthy, the blood is calm, and the heart is single-minded, and the eyes and ears are not obscene, although far away. Thinking leads to knowledge, dullness leads to anxiety, arrogance leads to resentment, depression leads to disease, and disease leads to death. If you don't give up thinking, you will be trapped inside and thin outside (forced) Give up without making plans early. If you don't have enough food, if you don't want to, if you have a suitable festival, you will come.

When a mortal is born, his essence comes from the sky and his form comes from the earth, which makes him a man. Harmony is life, but disharmony is not life. The way to observe peace is that feelings are invisible and signs are not ugly. Zheng Ping is kind to Hungary (with the same chest) and treats it with heart, thus living a long life. Anger is lost because it restrains the fifth desire, gets rid of the second evil, is neither happy nor angry, and is fair and comfortable in Hungary.

The life of mortals must be fair. So, if you lose, you will worry. So stop your anger, stop your worries, be happy, be happy, be respectful, be respectful. Being quiet inside and respecting outside can be contrary to its nature, and sex will be settled.

How to eat: big stuffing, the shape of the injury is not hidden; When I took the big picture, my bones were dry and my blood was dying. Between filling and taking, this is called success. What you gave up is what you know. Hunger and loss of satiety are for it. Move quickly when you are full, think widely when you are hungry, and worry for a long time when you are old. If you are full, you will not move, and you will not be able to breathe; Hunger is not widely accepted, and fullness is not wasted; Don't forget your troubles when you are old, but you are tired when you are sleepy. Open-minded, generous, broad, its shape is safe and motionless, it can keep one and abandon everything, see benefits without temptation, see harm without fear, be lenient and benevolent, and enjoy the fun alone. It is said that the cloud (the same luck) is gas, and its intention is like heaven.

When a mortal is alive, he must live happily. Worry leads to loss of discipline, and anger leads to loss of goal. Sadness and anger have nowhere to go. Love is quiet. When it comes to chaos, don't introduce it, don't add fuel to the flames, and the blessings will come back. When the Tao comes, you can borrow it and ask for it. If you are quiet, you will get it. If you are anxious, you will lose it. Reiki is in my heart and dies, but its details are not in it, and its greatness is not in it. Therefore, if you lose, you will be hurt by impatience. The mind can be calm, and the Tao must be self-determined. Those who gain the Tao are sincere (thinking of steaming) and frustrated, and Hungary has no defeat (the same chest). Abstinence is harmless.

Vernacular meaning:

Monks are well balanced, calm in blood and gas, single-minded, and their eyes and ears are not confused by foreign objects. In this way, they can understand both things near and things far away. Thinking produces wisdom, laziness and negligence produce anxiety, violence and pride produce resentment, depression produces disease, and serious illness leads to death. But a person thinks too much and doesn't know that rest is also harmful. Blindly thinking can't make people smarter, worry about internal and external troubles, and worry about pain. If we don't find a way early, life will leave his body. Eat too much, think too much, and adjust properly, and that extraordinary consciousness will come.

Man's life is a combination of the essence given to him by God and the form given to him by nature. There is life when the two are combined, and there is no life when they are not combined. When we examine the law of "harmony", we can't see its real situation and its performance signs can't be compared. But it can make peace fill the chest and melt into the heart, which is the foundation of longevity. Anger is excessive and should be eliminated. Restrain the five desires (color, sound, fragrance, taste and touch), eliminate the two evils (joy and anger), and fill the chest with justice.

People's lives must depend on peace and justice. The loss of life must be due to emotions and worries. Therefore, it is very important to adjust your emotions. Nothing can control anger better than poetry, music can eliminate depression better, ceremony can control pleasure better, and silence can keep etiquette better. If you are quiet inside and cautious outside, you can return to your self and achieve a high degree of stability.

Diet rule: eating too much hurts the stomach and is in poor health; If you eat too little, your bones will dry up and your blood will stagnate because of insufficient nutrition. Only by eating moderately can you feel comfortable, let your essence have a rest place and increase your wisdom. If you are hungry, you must find a way to adjust. If you are too full, you should act quickly. If you are too hungry, you should stop thinking. Old people should cherish their spirit and think less. Eat well, move slowly, and the blood gas can't reach the limbs; Hunger without stopping thinking, satiety without gluttony, old age without cherishing spirit and painstaking thinking will all harm the body, shorten life span and accelerate death. Broad-minded, broad-minded, open-minded, stable in form, orderly in life, able to remain single-minded and not disturbed by foreign things, not tempted by benefits, not afraid of harm, relaxed and kind, and able to have fun alone. These are called "luck" kungfu, and their thoughts fluctuate like clouds in the sky. )

The quality of life depends on how many people are happy. Grief-come on, it will make life chaotic and disorderly. There is sorrow and anger in the heart, and there is no place for Tao. If you have greed, you must calm it down in time. If you have a messy idea, you must correct it quickly. Don't be artificially attracted, and happiness will come naturally.

The understanding of Tao is natural, and people can use the wisdom of Tao to plan and draw. Quiet leads to enlightenment, but urgent leads to ignorance. Reiki is in people's hearts, coming and going. If it is small, it can be said that there is nothing inside, and if it is big, it can be said that there is nothing outside. People lose their aura because of impatience. If the mind can be fixed, the Tao will be fixed naturally. When the Tao is attained, evil spirits will evaporate and excrete from the pores of the skin, and nothing in the chest will stagnate and rot. If you can control your material desires, you won't be hurt by everything.
