| 17 | 緇衣: | 子曰：「民以君為心，君以民為體；心莊則體舒，心肅則容敬。心好之，身必安之；君好之，民必欲之。心以體全，亦以體傷；君以民存，亦以民亡。《詩》云：『昔吾有先正，其言明且清，國家以寧，都邑以成，庶民以生；誰能秉國成，不自為正，卒勞百姓。《君雅》曰：『夏日暑雨，小民惟曰怨；資冬祁寒，小民亦惟曰怨。』」 |
| Zi Yi: | The Master said, 'To the people the ruler is as their heart; to the ruler the people are as his body. When the heart is composed, the body is at ease; when the heart is reverent, the body is respectful; when the heart loves anything, the body is sure to rest in it. (So), when the ruler loves anything, the people are sure to desire it. The body is the complement of the heart, and a wound in it makes the heart also suffer. So the ruler is preserved by the people, and perishes also through the people. It is said in an ode, "Once we had that former premier, His words were wise and pure; The states and clans by him were at rest, The chief cities and towns by him were well regulated, All the people by him enjoyed their life. Who (now) holds the ordering of the kingdom? Not himself attending to the government, The issue is toil and pain to the people." It is said in, the Jun-ya (Shu, V, xxv, 5), "In the heat and rain of summer days the inferior people may be described as murmuring and sighing. And so it may be said of them in the great cold of winter."' |

| 6 | 節南山: |
不弔昊天、亂靡有定。 式月斯生、俾民不寧。 憂心如酲、誰秉國成。 不自為政、卒勞百姓。 |
| Jie Nan Shan: |
O unpitying, great Heaven, There is no end to the disorder! With every month it continues to grow, So that the people have no repose. I am as if intoxicated with the grief of my heart. Who holds the ordering of the kingdom? Not attending himself to the government, The issue is toil and pain to the people. |
