Fighting a War with a Moral Justification
興兵開戰(zhàn)要有正當(dāng)?shù)拿x或理由。泛指做事有正當(dāng)?shù)睦碛?。它包含兩層意思：其一，師直為壯，謂出兵理由正當(dāng)，則士氣旺盛，戰(zhàn)斗力強(qiáng)，否則難以服眾；其二，無(wú)故不得興兵，防止因貪、怒而窮兵黷武。其核心在于強(qiáng)調(diào)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的正義性。這是文明精神的體現(xiàn)。
To wage a war, one must have a legitimate cause, just as we ought to have such a reason for doing all things. The term has two meanings. The first is that moral justification is a source of strength when waging a war. With moral justification, the troops will have high morale and strength in fighting. Without it, it would be difficult to command the troops. The second meaning is that war must not be waged without a just cause. Greed or anger should not be allowed to lead to militarism and aggression. The underlying notion of this concept is that war can only be fought with a just cause, which represents the spirit of civilization.
