“气足以御材,度足以养智”--《何博士备论》之《邓禹论》论析

“Tolerance Can Control Talents,and a Generous Chest Can Support counsellors”——Analysis of Deng Yu’s Opinions in Dr.He’s Theories

邓禹是东汉著名开国功臣之一。《何博士备论》之《邓禹论》立足“坚制之气”与“善待之度”的视角分析邓禹的用兵得失,并认为邓禹之错在于“气与度者不足以持守之”,这实际是对孙子“君命有所不受”思想的继承与发展,同时对后世用兵者也颇有启示意义。

Deng Yu was one of the famous founders of the Eastern Han Dynasty.Deng Yu’s Opinions in Doctor He’s Theories analyzes Deng Yu’s military gains and losses from the perspectives of“insistent tolerance”and“kind treatment”,and believes that Deng Yu’s fault lies in“the person with insufficient temperament and tolerance cannot have an insistent attitude.”This is actually the inheritance and development of Sun Zi’s thought of“There are also occasions when the commands of the sovereign need not be obeyed.”It is also quite enlightening to the future military strategies.
