? (original) people are born by their own, but they don't know why they are born; People know what they know, but they don't know why they know it. Knowing what it knows means knowing, and not knowing what it knows means abandoning treasure, and those who abandon treasure will be blamed. Most people in the world regard the jade and jade swords as treasures. The more treasures there are, the more resentful the people are. The more dangerous the country is and the more tired the body is, the more they lose their treasures. The joy of troubled times is the same as this. If it is the sound of wood leather, it will be thunderous, if it is the sound of stone, it will be awkward, and if it is the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing, it will be noisy. It's enough to scare people, move their eyes and ears, and shake their lives, but it's not fun to be happy. Therefore, the more extravagant the joy is, the more depressed the people are, the more chaotic the country is, and the more humble the Lord is, the more unhappy he will be.
? It is also fun for those who enjoy what the ancient holy king did. Xia Jie and Yin Zhou, as extravagant music, sound of drums, bells, chimes, pipes and flutes, take the giant as beauty, take the public as view, and they are strange and magnificent, which have never been heard or seen by their ears and eyes, so they need not be measured. The decline of the song dynasty is also a thousand bells; Qi's decline is also, as Da Lu; The decline of Chu is also a witch sound. If you are extravagant, you will be extravagant. If you have a Taoist view, you will lose your happiness. If you are unhappy, you will be unhappy. People who are unhappy will complain and their lives will be hurt. Its life and joy, if ice is to the hot sun, is to be a soldier. In this life, I don't know how to be happy, but I take extravagance as my service.
? Music is affectionate, for example, if the skin and body are sexual, then there must be sexual cultivation. Cold, warmth, fatigue, relaxation, hunger and satiety are not suitable. Anyone who raises it is also a person who is not suitable for it. If you can stay in the right place for a long time, you will grow. If you are born, your body will be still, and then you will know, or you will make it. If you don't return, you will be addicted to it; If you are addicted to lust, you will lose your days. And the husband's lust is endless, there will be greed and rebellion, and adultery and treachery. Therefore, the strong rob the weak, the many are violent and widowed, the brave are timid, and the strong are young, and they are born from now on.
? Man lives on his own life, but he doesn't know the root of his life. Man has to rely on his own perception to perceive, but he doesn't know the root of his perception. Knowing the root of one's perception is called knowing the Tao, and not knowing the root of one's perception is called abandoning treasure, and those who abandon treasure are bound to suffer. Most monarchs in the world treasure the jade sword. The more such treasures, the more resentful the people, the more dangerous the country, and the more worried the monarch himself, thus losing the original intention of the treasure. The music in troubled times is the same. The sound of playing wooden leather instruments is like thunder, the sound of playing stone instruments is like thunderbolt, and the sound of playing silk and bamboo instruments and singing and dancing is like shouting. It's ok to shock people's spirit, shock people's eyes and ears and shake people's temperament with such a voice, but it can't make people happy as music. Therefore, the more extravagant music is, the more melancholy the people are, the more chaotic the country is, and the more humble the monarch is, which will lose the original intention of music.
? The reason why the ancient holy king attached importance to music was because it could make people happy. Xia Jie and Yin Zhou made extravagant and lewd music, and enlarged the sounds of drums, bells, chimes, pipes, flutes and other musical instruments, taking the huge sound as beauty, taking the numerous musical instruments as spectacular, strange and magnificent, which was unheard of and unseen, so as to go too far and disobey the law. When the Song Dynasty declined, it made thousands of bells; When Qi declined, he made Da Lu; When the state of Chu declined, it made witchcraft. These musical luxuries are extravagant enough, but in the eyes of a man of insight, they have lost the original intention of music. Without the original intention of music, such music cannot make people happy. Music can't make people happy, people are bound to have resentment, and the monarch's nature is bound to be hurt. Its nature meets such music, just like ice meets the scorching sun, which can only destroy itself in turn. This all comes from the fact that I don't know the true meaning of music and I want luxury and grandeur.
? Music has a true meaning, just like skin and body have a nature. If there is a nature, there must be a way to maintain it. Cold, warmth, fatigue, leisure, hunger and satiety are all unsuitable for nature. Generally speaking, maintenance is to examine the reasons for its unsuitability and make it suitable. Being able to stay in a suitable environment for a long time will lead to a long life. Life itself is quiet and ignorant, and you can't feel it until you feel something outside, or it is made by the influence of something outside. If you indulge your heart without knowing how to fold it, you will be restrained by lust; If you are restrained by lust, you will inevitably lose your nature. Moreover, the endless pursuit of lust will inevitably lead to greedy, despicable and chaotic ideas and make dissolute, corrupt and treacherous things. Therefore, things like robbing the weak by the earth, invading the lonely by the powerful, bullying the timid by the bold, insulting the young by the strong, and so on are all produced from this.
