Original text:

The king said, "The Book of Songs says,' If others have a heart, they can worry about it.' Master is also called. I do what I do, but what I ask is not my heart; What the master said is of great concern to me. Why is this heart suitable for the king? "

Translation:

Qi Xuanwang was very happy and said, "The Book of Songs says,' I can guess what others are thinking.' That's what I'm talking about, sir People like you. I did, and then I thought about it, and I couldn't figure out why. Sir, what you said really touched my heart! What is the reason for the combination of this kind of heart and the benevolent policy of Wang Dao? "

This article records Mencius' lobbying for Wang Xuan to implement benevolent policies. Explain that everyone has an unbearable heart. As long as he can carry forward this kindness in his heart, push himself and others, and be kind to the people, it will not be difficult to keep the people king. Through the dialogue between Mencius and Qi Xuanwang, this paper shows Mencius' kingly thought of "protecting the people as kings" and his political proposition of enriching the people and teaching the people, and also shows Mencius' eloquent character and superb argumentation skills. His proposition is, first of all, to give people a certain industry so that they can support their families and live and work in peace and contentment.
