Ancient poems about retribution

1. No pains, no gains. -Nirvana Sutra of Tang Dynasty

2. Doing evil in heaven can still be forgiven; You can't live if you commit a crime. -Excerpted from Shang Shu Tai Jia, an anonymous book in the pre-Qin period.

Disasters from the sky can still be avoided, but there is no escape from the crimes they have caused.

3, the report of good and evil, as for children and grandchildren, it will take a long time. -Su Shi's "Three Soups of Northern Song Dynasty Huai Ming"

Explanation: As for the retribution of good and evil to mankind, some will not appear until later generations, which is also decided by God for a long time.

4, Taishang Laojun said: Misfortunes never come singly, blessings never come singly, only people claim themselves. The report of good and evil is like a shadow. -Li Changling's "Tai Shang Induction" in the Northern Song Dynasty

5, cover history for good and evil, everything is written, and the inscription, cover the ancient people have the beauty of merit, fearing that future generations will be ignorant, they will be engraved and seen. -Ceng Gong's letter to Ouyang Scheeren in the Northern Song Dynasty
