1. One day, Mencius was received by Qi Xuanwang. Mencius said to Xuan Wang, Is it true that the king once told Zhuang Bao about your love of music? Xuanwang changed his face and said, I can't like the elegant music of ancient holy kings, but I just like secular and popular music. Mencius said that as long as the king loves music very much, the state of Qi will be governed almost. King Xuan said, can you tell me about this truth? Mencius asked, which one is happier, enjoying music alone or enjoying music with others? Xuan Wang said that it is not as happy to enjoy music as to enjoy music with others. Mencius asked again, which is happier, enjoying music with a few people or enjoying music with many people? King Xuan replied that it is better to enjoy music with most people.

2. Then Mencius said, Please let me talk to the king about enjoying music. If the king is playing music here now, the people will feel headache when they hear your bells, drums, flutes and flutes, and they will tell each other sadly, why did our king love music so much? Father and son can't meet, brothers run around, wives and children are separated. If the king hunts here, the people will feel headache when they hear the sound of your horses and chariots and see the splendor of ceremonial ceremonies. They will tell each other sadly that our king loves hunting so much, why did he make us fall into such a bad situation? Father and son can't meet, brothers run around, wives and children are separated. There is no other reason for this, but you refuse to be happy with the people.
