上編

牧民

凡有地牧民者，務在四時，守在倉廩。國多財，則遠者來；地辟舉，則民留處；倉廩實，則知禮節；衣食足，則知榮辱；上服度，則六親固；四維張，則君令行。故省刑之要，在禁文巧；守國之度，在飾四維；順民之經，在明鬼神、祇山川、敬宗廟、恭祖舊。不務天時，則財不生；不務地利，則倉廩不盈。野蕪曠，則民乃菅；上無量，則民乃妄。文巧不禁，則民乃淫；不璋兩原，則刑乃繁。不明鬼神，則陋民不悟；不祇山川，則威令不聞；不敬宗廟，則民乃上校；不恭祖舊，則孝悌不備。四維不張，國乃滅亡。右國頌

國有四維，一維絕則傾，二維絕則危，三維絕則覆，四維絕則滅。傾可正也，危可安也，覆可起也，滅不可復錯也。何謂四維？一曰禮，二曰義，三曰廉，四曰恥。禮不逾節，義不自進，廉不蔽惡，恥不從枉。故不逾節，則上位安；不自進，則民無巧詐；不蔽惡，則行自全；不從枉，則邪事不生。右四維

政之所興，在順民心；政之所廢，在逆民心。民惡憂勞，我佚樂之；民惡貧賤，我富貴之；民惡危墜，我存... Continue reading book >>
