The Benevolent Person Is Invincible

　　The term means that the one who is benevolent is invincible. The benevolent refers to a ruler who has the virtue of benevolence or to a state with benevolent rule. In terms of political affairs, benevolence manifests itself as benevolent governance based on love and care for the people, use of penalties with restraint, lighter taxes, and benefiting the people to the greatest extent possible. In this way, the ruler will gain the support of the people and achieve unshakeable unity of will among his subjects and himself, so that the state will be invincible.

引例

　　孟子對曰：“地方百里而可以王。王如施仁政于民，省刑罰，薄稅斂，深耕易耨；壯者以暇日修其孝悌忠信，入以事其父兄，出以事其長上，可使制梃以撻秦楚之堅(jiān)甲利兵矣……故曰：‘仁者無敵?！保ā睹献印ち夯萃跎稀罚献踊卮鹫f：“有方圓百里的土地就可以使天下歸順。君王如果對老百姓施行仁政，慎用刑罰，減少賦稅，深耕細(xì)作，及時除草；使壯年男子能有空余時間修養(yǎng)自己孝順父母、敬愛兄長、為人盡心、待人誠信的品德，在家能侍奉父母兄長，出門能侍奉尊長上級，這樣即使他們拿著加工的木棒也能抗擊裝備精良的秦、楚軍隊(duì)了……所以說：‘具有仁德的人無敵于天下?！保?/p>

　　Mencius replied, "With a territory of a hundred square li, it is possible for one to rule as a true king. If Your Majesty governs with benevolence, refrains from imposing harsh punishment, and lightens taxes and imposts on the people, they will plow deeply and weed thoroughly. The able-bodied will, on their days off, care for their parents, and they will show fraternal love, loyalty and good faith. At home, they will serve their fathers and brothers, and away from home, their elders and superiors. So they are able to defeat the Qin and Chu troops even with wooden sticks…That is why I believe that the benevolent person is invincible." (Mencius)
