《法仪 - On the necessity of standards》 | English translation: W. P. Mei [?] | Library Resources |
| 3 | 法仪: | 然则奚以为治法而可？故曰莫若法天。天之行广而无私，其施厚而不德，其明久而不衰，故圣王法之。既以天为法，动作有为，必度于天，天之所欲则为之，天所不欲则止。然而天何欲何恶者也？天必欲人之相爱相利，而不欲人之相恶相贼也。奚以知天之欲人之相爱相利，而不欲人之相恶相贼也？以其兼而爱之，兼而利之也。奚以知天兼而爱之，兼而利之也？以其兼而有之，兼而食之也。 |
| On the necessity of...: | What then should be taken as the standard in government? Nothing better than following Heaven. Heaven is all-inclusive and impartial in its activities, abundant and unceasing in its blessings, and lasting and untiring in its guidance. And, so, when the sage-kings had accepted Heaven as their standard, they measured every action and enterprise by Heaven. What Heaven desired they would carry out, what Heaven abominated they refrained from. Now, what is it that Heaven desires, and what that it abominates? Certainly Heaven desires to have men benefit and love one another and abominates to have them hate and harm one another. How do we know that Heaven desires to have men love and benefit one another and abominates to have them hate and harm one another? Because it loves and benefits men universally. How do we know that it loves and benefits men universally? Because it claims all and accepts offerings from all. |

《天志上 - Will of Heaven I》 | English translation: W. P. Mei [?] | Library Resources |
| 5 | 天志上: | 然则何以知天之爱天下之百姓？以其兼而明之。何以知其兼而明之？以其兼而有之。何以知其兼而有之？以其兼而食焉。何以知其兼而食焉？四海之内，粒食之民，莫不犓牛羊，豢犬彘，洁为粢盛酒醴，以祭祀于上帝鬼神，天有邑人，何用弗爱也？且吾言杀一不辜者必有一不祥。杀不辜者谁也？则人也。予之不祥者谁也？则天也。若以天为不爱天下之百姓，则何故以人与人相杀，而天予之不祥？此我所以知天之爱天下之百姓也。 |
| Will of Heaven I: | How do we know Heaven loves the people? Because it teaches them all. How do we know it teaches them all? Because it claims them all. How do we know it claims them all? Because it accepts sacrifices from them all. How do we know it accepts sacrifices from all? Because within the four seas all who live on grains feed oxen and sheep with grass, and dogs and pigs with grains, and prepare clean cakes and wine to do sacrifice to God on High and the spirits. Claiming all the people, why will Heaven not love them? Moreover, as I have said, for the murder of one innocent individual there will be one calamity. Who is it that murders the innocent? It is man. Who is it that sends down the calamity? It is Heaven. If Heaven should be thought of as not loving the people, why should it send down calamities for the murder of man by man? So, I know Heaven loves the people. |
