Translation

Student 1 : Sanghoon Na


The mother of Meng ke(Mencius) of Zou was called Mother Meng. Her house was near tombs. When Mencius was little, he enjoyed playing and doing the [funeral] work among the tombs. Mother Meng said, "This is not the place where I dwell and house my son," and immediately went to [reside in] a house next to the market. Mencius enjoyed playing as a merchant by displaying things to sell. Mother Meng [once] again said, "This is not the place where I house my son,” and again moved to dwell next to a school. He, then, enjoyed arranging the sacrificial vessels and bowing, yielding, advancing, and retiring. Mother Meng said, “[This is] Suitable for dwelling and housing my son,” and accordingly settled down there. When Mencius grew up, he learned the six classical arts[1] and in the end achieved fame as a great scholar. The gentleman said, "Mother Meng was good at gradual edification."

The mother of Mengke1 of Zou2 was called 'Meng's mother'. Her house was near tombs. When Menzi3 was little, he liked to play out and act up the [funeral] matters among the tombs. Meng’s mother said: “This is not the place to make my son live at.” Therefore they left and dwelled next to a market. He liked to play out and act up the merchant advertizing. Meng’s mother said: “This is not the place to make my son live at.” They moved again to dwell next to a school. He then liked to play out, act up displaying the ritual vessels, bowing, yielding, advancing and retreating. Meng’s mother said: “Now I can make my son live [here].” Thus they lived there. Once Mengzi had grown older and learnt the Six Arts4, he finally became a great ritual scholar. The men of virtue say that Meng's mother was good at transformation by the [environment] changing.
