Translations of the Classic Chinese Mencius·Teng Wengong
Mencius Teng Wen Gong's translation into classical Chinese is one of the Confucian classics of the Warring States Period. The original text is as follows: Mencius Teng Wen Gong's original text: Mencius said,"The question of Teng Wen Gong is like the question of the great tree. Trees are the sum of all trees, and no one in the world can do it. However, if you do it and don't use it, it will be big or small. Now someone saws the big part of the tree under the tree, cuts off the weak part, and takes the small part in the middle. Therefore, isn't it appropriate to abandon the great for the small?" Translated into modern Chinese: Mencius said,"Teng Wen Gong asked this question as if a big tree was asking it. A tree was the sum of many trees, and no tree in the world could exist alone. But isn't it fitting to let him give up the big one for the small one, like letting him give up the trunk for the branch?"

There was a person dressed in green clothes. Her name was Yellow Emperor Nvba. Back then, Chiyou had created many weapons to attack the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor had sent Yinglong to the wilderness of Jizhou to resist. Yinglong accumulated a lot of water, and Chiyou invited the Count of the Wind and the Rain Master to raise a storm. Yinglong retreated. So the Yellow Emperor sent down a fairy named Ba (also known as Hanba) to help fight. Soon, the rain stopped, and the Yellow Emperor was able to kill Chiyou. Nvba could not return to the sky because her divine power was exhausted. The place where she lived would not have rain. Shu Jun reported this matter to the Yellow Emperor. Later, the Yellow Emperor placed Nvba in the north of Chishui. After the crisis of the drought was resolved, Shu Jun became the God of Fields. However, Nvba was restless and often fled everywhere. Wherever she went, there would be droughts. Those who wanted to expel her had to clear the waterways and dredge the ditches, then pray to her,"God, please go north!"

The classic story in Mencius
Mencius was one of the founders of Confucianism in ancient China. His representative work, Mencius, was an important classic work with many classic stories. Here are a few famous stories: 1 King Hui of Liang asked Mencius,"A vassal came to court and asked,'What is your purpose?' And he answered,'I am a prince.' And he said, What shall I do? And he answered,'A minister serves the prince with loyalty.' He asked,'Can a loyal minister become a prince?' The answer was,'The reason why princes are loyal officials is that they serve the monarch with loyalty.' He asked,'I have heard that a wise man serves his prince with the Way, and an evil man serves his prince with the Power. How much is the Way compared with the Power?' He replied,'Tao and power are farther apart. The minister serves the king with loyalty, and the Tao is further away from the power." The story was about how King Hui of Liang asked Mencius how to govern the country, and Mencius replied that a wise monarch should govern the country with morality and loyalty instead of relying on power and status. A person who doesn't like power may serve the country like a loyal minister, but morality and loyalty are more important than power and status. 2 Mencius and King Xuan of Qi: "Mencius said,'What men do not learn, those who are capable are capable. There are things that people can't do. What people don't learn and can't do is because they are good at it. King Xuan said,'How do you know what it means to be a good man?' Mencius said,'If you want to learn, don't ask for external things; If you want to learn, don't give external things. If you follow the right way, you can get rid of evil and follow good. To get rid of evil and follow good is the reason why wise people are good." This story is about Mencius telling King Xuan of Qi that if a person could constantly learn and improve his ability, it would be an excellent quality. If a person is unwilling to learn and unwilling to improve his ability, he will be like a wise man who cannot make any useful contributions. On the contrary, if a person could constantly learn and improve his ability and follow the correct morality and values, this was the behavior of a wise person.
