| 1 | 立元神: | 君人者，國之元，發言動作，萬物之樞機。樞機之發，榮辱之端也。失之豪厘，駟不及追。故為人君者，謹本詳始，敬小慎微，誌如死灰，安精養神，寂莫無為。休形無見影，搶聲無出音，虛心下士，觀來察往。謀於眾賢，考求眾人，得其心遍見其情，察其好惡，以參忠佞，考其往行，驗之於今，計其蓄積，受於先賢。釋其讎怨，視其所爭，差其黨族，所依為臬，據位治人，用何為名，累日積久，何功不成。可以內參外，可以小佔大，必知其實，是謂開闔。君人者，國之本也。夫為國，其化莫大於崇本，崇本則君化若神，不崇本則君無以兼人。無以兼人，雖峻刑重誅，而民不從，是所謂驅國而棄之者也，患孰甚焉？何謂本？曰：天地人，萬物之本也。天生之，地養之，人成之。天生之以孝悌，地養之以衣食，人成之以禮樂，三者相為手足，合以成禮，不可一無也。無孝悌則亡其所以生，無衣食則亡其所以養，無禮樂，則亡其所以成也。三者皆亡，則民如麋鹿，各從其欲，家自為俗。父不能使子，君不能使臣，雖有城郭，名曰虛邑。如此，其君枕塊而僵，莫之危而自危，莫之喪而自亡，是謂自然之罰。自然之罰至，裹襲石室，分障險阻，猶不能逃之也。明主賢君必於其信，是故肅慎三本。郊祀致敬，共事祖禰，舉顯孝悌，表異孝行，所以奉天本也。秉耒躬耕，采桑親蠶，墾草殖彀，開闢以足衣食，所以奉地本也。立闢雍庠序，修孝悌敬讓，明以教化，感以禮樂，所以奉人本也。三者皆奉，則民如子弟，不敢自專，邦如父母，不待恩而愛，不須嚴而使，雖野居露宿，厚於宮室。如是者，其君安枕而臥，莫之助而自強，莫之綏而自安，是謂自然之賞。自然之賞至，雖退讓委國而去，百姓襁負其子隨而君之，君亦不得離也。故以德為國者，甘於飴蜜，固於膠漆，是以聖賢勉而崇本而不敢失也。君人者，國之證也，不可先倡，感而後應。故居倡之位而不行倡之勢，不居和之職而以和為德，常盡春下，故能為之上也。 |

《禁使 - Interdicts and Encouragements》 | English translation: J. J. L. Duyvendak [?] | Library Resources |
| 5 | 禁使: | 故至治，夫妻交友不能相為棄惡蓋非，而不害於親，民人不能相為隱。上與吏也，事合而利異者也。今夫騶虞，以相監不可，事合而利同者也。若使馬焉能言，則騶虞無所逃其惡矣，利異也。利合而惡同者，父不能以問子，君不能以問臣。吏之與吏，利合而惡同也。夫事合而利異者，先王之所以為端也。民之蔽主，而不害於蓋，賢者不能益，不肖者不能損。故遺賢去智，治之數也。 |
| Interdicts and Encouragements:...: | Therefore, in a condition of complete good government, husband and wife and friends cannot abandon each other's evil, cover up wrong-doing and not cause harm to relatives; nor can the men from the people mutually conceal each other from their superiors and government servants. That is because, although their affairs are connected, their interests are different. But nowadays a Zou and a Yu cannot control each other, because their business is the same and their interests are also similar... Suppose that horses could speak, then a Zou and a Yu would have no chance of escaping what they find hateful; that is because their interests would be different. When interests are connected and what they hate is the same, then a father cannot reprimand his son, nor a prince his minister. The relation of government servants to other government servants is this, that their interests are connected and what they hate is the same. Now, the early kings made it a principle that those whose business was connected, should have different interests. Though the people may hide things from their ruler, there is no harm done in thus covering them up, nor can there be advantage in having virtuous men or harm in having worthless ones. The system, therefore, of good government is to neglect the virtuous and to abolish the wise. |
