5 孔子閒居:
子夏曰:「三王之德,參於天地,敢問:何如斯可謂參於天地矣?」孔子曰:「奉三無私以勞天下。」
Kongzi Xian Ju:
Zi-xia said, '(It is said that) the virtue of the kings (who founded the) three dynasties was equal to that of heaven and earth; allow me to ask of what nature that virtue was which could be said to put its possessors on an equality with heaven and earth.' Confucius said, 'They reverently displayed the Three Impartialities, while they comforted all beneath the sky under the toils which they imposed.'
子夏曰:「敢問何謂三無私?」孔子曰:「天無私覆,地無私載,日月無私照。奉斯三者以勞天下,此之謂三無私。其在《》曰:『帝命不違,至於湯齊。湯降不遲,聖敬日齊。昭假遲遲,上帝是祗。帝命式於九圍。』是湯之德也。
Zi-xia said, 'Allow me to ask what you call the "Three Impartialities."' Confucius said, 'Heaven overspreads all without partiality; Earth sustains and contains all without partiality; the Sun and Moon shine on all without partiality. Reverently displaying these three characteristics and thereby comforting all under heaven under the toils which they imposed, is what is called "the Three Impartialities." It is said in the Book of Poetry (IV, iii, ode 4, 3), "God in His favour Tang's House would not leave, And then Tang rose that favour to receive. Tang's birth was not from Xie too far removed, His sagely reverence daily greater proved. For long to Heaven his brilliant influence rose, And while his acts the fear of God disclose, God Tang as model fit for the nine regions chose" - such was the virtue of Tang.
「天有四時,春秋冬夏,風雨霜露,無非教也。地載神氣,神氣風霆,風霆流形,庶物露生,無非教也。清明在躬,氣志如神,嗜欲將至,有開必先。天降時雨,山川出云。其在《》曰:『嵩高惟岳,峻極于天。惟岳降神,生甫及申。惟申及甫,惟周之翰。四國于蕃,四方于宣。』此文武之德也。三代之王也,必先令聞,《》云:『明明天子,令聞不已。』三代之德也。『弛其文德,協此四國。』大王之德也。」子夏蹶然而起,負墻而立曰:「弟子敢不承乎!」
'To Heaven belong the four seasons, spring, autumn, winter, summer, with wind, rain, hoar-frost, and dew;--(in the action) of all and each of these there is a lesson. Earth contains the mysterious energy (of nature). That mysterious energy (produces) the wind and thunder-clap. By the wind and thunder-clap the (seeds of) forms are carried abroad, and the various things show the appearance of life - in all and each of these things there is a lesson. When the personal character is pure and bright, the spirit and mind are like those of a spiritual being. When what such an one desires is about to come, there are sure to be premonitions of it in advance, (as when) Heaven sends down the seasonable rains, and the hills produce the clouds. As it is said in the Book of Poetry (III, iii, ode 5, 1), "How grand and high, with hugest bulk, arise. Those southern hills whose summits touch the skies! Down from them came a Spirit to the earth, And to the sires of Fu and Shan gave birth. In those two states our Zhou a bulwark has, O'er which the southern foemen dare not pass, And all its states they screen, and through them spread. Lessons of virtue, by themselves displayed" - such was the virtue of (kings) Wen and Wu. As to the kings (who founded) the three dynasties, it was necessary that they should be preceded by the fame of their forefathers. As it is said in the Book of Poetry (III, iii, ode 8, 6), "Very intelligent were the sons of Heaven, Their good fame was without end" - such was the virtue of (the founders) of the three dynasties. (And again), "He displayed his civil virtues, And they permeated all parts of the kingdom" - such was the virtue of king Tai.' Zi-xia rose up with a sudden joy, and, standing with his back to the wall, said, 'Your disciple dares not but receive (your instructions) with reverence.'

天有四時:春夏秋冬,風雨霜露,無非教也。清明在躬,氣志如神,嗜欲將至,有開必先。天降時雨,山川出雲。《》曰:「崧高維嶽,駿極于天。維嶽降神,生甫及申。維申及甫,維周之翰。四國于蕃,四方于宣。」此文武之德也。三代之王也,必先其令名。《》曰:「明明天子,令聞不己。矢其文德,洽此四國。」此大王之德也。

2 問玉:
孔子曰:「入其國,其教可知也:其為人也,溫柔敦厚,《》教也;䟽通知遠,《》教也;廣博易良,《樂》教也;潔靜精微,《》教也;恭儉莊敬,《禮》教也;屬辭比事,《春秋》教也。故《》之失愚,《》之失誣。《樂》之失奢,《》之失賊,《禮》之失煩,《春秋》之失亂。其為人溫柔敦厚而不愚,則深於《》者矣;䟽通知遠而不誣,則深於《》者矣;廣博易良而不奢,則深於《樂》者矣;潔靜精微而不賊,則深於《》者矣;恭儉莊敬而不煩,則深於《禮》者矣;屬辭比事而不亂,則深於《春秋》者矣。天有四時,春夏秋冬,風雨霜露,無非教也。地載神氣,吐納雷霆,流形庶物,無非教也。清明在躬,氣志如神,有物將至,其兆必先。是故天地之教,與聖人相參。其在《》曰:『嵩高惟嶽,峻極于天。惟嶽降神,生甫及申。惟申及甫,惟周之翰。四國于蕃,四方于宣。』此文武之德也。矢其文德,恊此四國,此文王之德也。凡三代之王,必先其令問。《》云:『明明天子,令問不已。』三代之德也。」
