"Zhong Da said: "Although I tried to dissuade the emperor, the court did not adopt it, and it had no effect in fact. Can I have such good deeds? The official in the underworld said: "Although the imperial court did not adopt it, you are thinking of all the people. If the imperial court adopts it, your good deeds will be even greater." "So for those who are motivated to think about the common people in the world, the good deeds may be small but big. If they are done for themselves, the good deeds may be big but small. What is difficult and easy? In the past, Confucianism said that to restrain yourself from doing bad things, you must follow The most difficult thing to do is to take action. Like Shu Weng in Jiangxi, he gave up his salary for two years to repay the money owed to the government on behalf of others, and saved his wife from being separated. Or like Zhang Weng in Handan, he gave up. The money saved for ten years was used to pay off other people's debts and save their wives, but it was difficult to give up. Another example is Zhenjiang Leweng who was old and childless, and his wife bought him a young girl as a concubine. . He couldn't bear to take his young daughter as a concubine and give her back to his family. Therefore, the blessings they received were also very generous. But it is very easy. If you don’t do it, you will give up and miss the opportunity. It is difficult for poor people to do good things, but it is difficult to do it. This is the most valuable thing. Doing good things must start from small things around you. Do not do good deeds because they are small, and do not do evil just because it is small."
