Mohism -> Mozi -> Book 13 -> Lu's Question -> 8

Upon the death of a favourite concubine of the Lord of Lu,
somebody in Lu wrote an obituary for her.
The Lord of Lu was pleased with it and employed the writer.
墨子 Mozi heard of it and remarked:
An obituary
is but to narrate the ambitions of the dead.
To employ the man because his obituary is pleasing
。」 is like making the wild cat pull a carriage.
