周文王、周武王处治国度像使用弓弩雷同有紧有松，宽严辩论。“文武”指周文王、周武王；“张”本指拉紧弓弦，譬如严及垂危；“弛”指松开弓弦，譬如宽及松开。儒家观念治国应以德礼教育为主，武力刑罚为辅，文武并施，宽猛相济。后世也用它来譬如东谈主们对责任、活命合理安排，松紧实现，劳逸辩论。

The Rules of King Wen and King Wu Are Like Slack and Taut Bowstrings.

This term means that two kings Wen and Wu of Zhou applied the idea of taut and slack bowstrings in archery to governing: a mixture of strictness and leniency. Wenwu refers to King Wen and King Wu of Zhou; zhang taut bowstring, or strictness; and chi slack bowstring, or leniency. The Confucian school of thought advocated that governance should be based foremost on morality, propriety and education, with the use of force and punishment in second place only. The pen and the sword, leniency and strictness should complement each other. In the modern sense, people should apply this attitude to organizing their life: a balance of work and play.

引例张而不弛，文武弗能也；弛而不张，文武弗为也。一张一弛，文武之谈也。（《礼记·杂记下》）（只垂危而不随意，周文王、周武王不成能作念到；只随意而不垂危，周文王、周武王也不会这么作念。宽严相济、张弛有度、劳逸辩论，才是天地久安长治之谈。）

To rule only with strictness and no leniency was not possible for King Wen and King Wu of Zhou; to rule only with leniency and no strictness was not what they wished to do. A mixture of pen and sword was the way they chose to rule. (The Book of Rites)
