Meng Mu's Three Movements (I)

Mencius lived near the tombs when he was young and often played between them. His mother said, "That's not why I'm with my son." Then he moved to the edge of the city, and Mencius laughed and called it Jiaren Street. His mother said, "This is not my place." Back to Gong Xue. Mencius made a fool of himself for cowpea, and his mother said, "This is my son." Live there.

Meng Mu's Three Movements (Ⅱ)

When Mencius was young, his father died early and his mother [Zhang] kept a festival. Living by the grave, Mencius learned to do funerals, [full] [finished, without saying anything] and cry. Mother said, "This is not the reason why I have a house." Is to go, give up the city, near slaughter, Mencius learned to buy and sell slaughter. Mother added, "That's not the reason to live in a house." And then moved to Gong Xue. On the first day of each month in the new moon, the official entered the Confucian Temple, bowed down, bowed [bowing, bowing hands] and let him advance and retreat. Mencius met them and studied them one by one. Meng Mu said, "This is really a place to live." So I live here.

[Vernacular] In the past, when Mencius was a child, his father died and his mother kept a festival. Living near the cemetery, Mencius learned something, such as funerals and crying. Mother thought, "This place is not suitable for children to live in." He left and moved his family to the street, close to where the pigs and sheep were slaughtered. Mencius knew something about business and slaughter. The mother thought again, "This place is still not suitable for children to live in." His family moved to Gong Xue. On the first day of each month in the summer calendar, officials enter the Confucian Temple, bow down and bow down, and retreat from the DPRK. Mencius saw it and recorded it one by one. Meng Mu thought, "This is where children live." Settle here.
