Confucius said: "Don't mention what is past; don't undo what is cast; don't grasp what is blast." – The Analects of Confucius （子曰："成事不说，遂事不谏，既往不咎 。"—《论语》）
What does it mean?
If a person hurt（伤害）him, Confucius said, he would forgive（原谅）him. In his mind, people are never perfect and they make mistakes and do bad things. If people just remember others' bad actions, they will become unhappy. So, why not let the bad things go and look at the future?
The story of Guan Zhong and Duke Huan of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period is a good example.
Guan Zhong once tried to kill Duke Huan of Qi. But when the Duke knew that Guan could help him look after his kingdom (王国), he forgave what Guan did. So, Guan did his best to help Duke Huan of Qi. Together, they made the kingdom better.
But letting go of bad things in the past doesn't mean forgetting them. Instead, we should learn from them so that we don't make the same mistakes.

It is an autumn day. The wind and the sun have an argument（争论）.
The wind says, "I am stronger than you."
The sun answers with a warm smile, "No, you are not."
Just then, they see a man with a hat on his head on the street. The wind says, "Let's see who can take off the man's hat. Do you agree?"
The sun agrees and says, "OK, you go first."
The wind starts to blow. The man holds onto his hat tightly (紧紧地). The wind blows harder, but the man holds his hat even tighter.
The wind doesn't believe it, so it blows even harder. However, the man just doesn't let go of the hat. The wind can't make it.
Now, it is the sun's turn. The sun just smiles at the man. The man starts feeling warm. As the sun smiles and smiles, the man feels hotter and hotter, and finally, he takes off the hat.
Seeing this, the wind has no more words to say and agrees that on this day the sun is the stronger one.
