Origin Story
话说春秋时期，某个诸侯国国君十分暴虐，动不动就杀害大臣和百姓，一点也不顾及他们的死活。他的手下曾经劝谏过他，说应该先教育他们，然后才能对他们的过错进行惩罚，但他根本听不进去。一次，一个大臣犯了一个小错误，国君二话不说就把他杀了。他的行为激怒了其他大臣，引发了更大的动乱。这个国家后来因为国君的不教而诛，以及其他错误的统治，最终走向了衰败。 这个故事体现了不教而诛的危害性。统治者应该以仁义治国，而不是只靠暴力来维持统治。只有教育和引导百姓，才能使国家长治久安。
During the Spring and Autumn period, a certain feudal lord was very tyrannical, and often killed ministers and people without regard for their lives. His subordinates had once advised him that he should educate them first and then punish their mistakes, but he did not listen. One time, a minister made a minor mistake, and the lord killed him without saying a word. His actions angered other ministers, leading to greater unrest. The country later went into decline due to the ruler's failure to teach and then punish, as well as other mistakes in governance.
Usage
