    Xi is the great treasure of the sovereign of a state. To win a state, one must win its people. To win the people, one must win their trust. Without trust, a sovereign cannot lead his people. Without people, the state will inevitably be lost. Thus, an ancient king would not forfeit the trust of his people, and the ancient overlord of a state would never bully his neighboring states. A good ruler never abuses his people and a good patriarch never abuses his family.
