论《孟子》之君子的出处进退

On Junzi’s Officialdom or Retreat Described in "Book of Mencius"

儒家君子风范向来以天下为己任,能大行其道则出则进之用之则行,无法行其大道则处则退之舍之则藏。孟子以道自尊,匡世济民抱负,善养浩然之气。以“大丈夫”充塞天地万物间的一种至大至刚的风骨气魄,出则积极行道,退亦洁身自守,扬弃“贱丈夫”的贪鄙人格,提升“小丈夫”的桎梏格局。其“士”道情怀,相对于动荡时代中的出处进退,更见其承担历史责任的真我气概。

According to the Confucianism,junzi,a man of noble character,always regards helping the world as his responsibility.He will do things seriously when he can act as an official,and he will retire if he retreats from an officialdom.Mencius adhered to the "Dao" or "Tao," rescued the people in the world,and relied on the great spirit.As a "real man," junzi actively strives to be an official,or passively retreats from it.He abandons the greedy personality of a "low man" and raises the potential of an "unknown man." The ideal of Junzi,being an official or retreating from officialdom in a turbulent era,is to bravely take up historical responsibilities on his shoulders.
