《孔子閒居 - Kongzi Xian Ju》 | English translation: James Legge [?] | Books referencing 《孔子閒居》 Library Resources |
| 1 | 孔子閒居: | 孔子閒居，子夏侍。子夏曰：「敢問《詩》云：『凱弟君子，民之父母』，何如斯可謂民之父母矣？」孔子曰：「夫民之父母乎，必達於禮樂之原，以致五至，而行三無，以橫於天下。四方有敗，必先知之。此之謂民之父母矣。」 |
| Kongzi Xian Ju: | Confucius being at home at leisure, with Zi-xia by his side, the latter said, 'With reference to the lines in the Book of Poetry (III, ii, ode 8, 1), "The happy and courteous sovereign, is the father and mother of the people;" I beg to ask what the sovereign must be, who can be called "the parent of the people."' Confucius said, 'Ah! the parent of the people! He must have penetrated to the fundamental principles of ceremonies and music, till he has reached the five extreme points to which they conduct, and the three that have no positive existence, and be able to exhibit these all under heaven; and when evil is impending in any part of the kingdom, he must have a foreknowledge of it - such an one is he whom we denominate 'the parent of the people.' | |
| 2 | 孔子閒居: | 子夏曰：「民之父母，既得而聞之矣；敢問何謂『五至』？」孔子曰：「志之所至，詩亦至焉。詩之所至，禮亦至焉。禮之所至，樂亦至焉。樂之所至，哀亦至焉。哀樂相生。是故，正明目而視之，不可得而見也；傾耳而聽之，不可得而聞也；志氣塞乎天地，此之謂五至。」 |
| Kongzi Xian Ju: | Zi-xia said, 'I have thus heard (your explanation) of the name "parent of the people;" allow me to ask what "the five extreme points" (that you mention) mean.' Confucius said, 'The furthest aim of the mind has also its furthest expression in the Book of Poetry. The furthest expression of the Book of Poetry has also its furthest embodiment in the ceremonial usages. The furthest embodiment in the ceremonial usages has also its furthest indication in music. The furthest indication of music has also its furthest indication in the voice of sorrow. Sorrow and joy produce, each the other; and thus it is that when we look with the directest vision of the eyes at (these extreme points) we cannot see them, and when we have bent our ears with the utmost tension we cannot hear them. The mind and spirit must embrace all within heaven and earth - these are what we denominate "the five extreme points."' |
《表記 - Biao Ji》 | English translation: James Legge [?] | Books referencing 《表記》 Library Resources |
| 26 | 表記: | 子言之：「君子之所謂仁者其難乎！《詩》云：『凱弟君子，民之父母。』凱以強教之；弟以說安之。樂而毋荒，有禮而親，威莊而安，孝慈而敬。使民有父之尊，有母之親。如此而後可以為民父母矣，非至德其孰能如此乎？ |
| Biao Ji: | These were the words of the Master - 'Difficult is it to attain to what is called the perfect humanity of the superior man! It is said in the Book of Poetry, "The happy and courteous prince Is the father and mother of his people." Happy, he (yet) vigorously teaches them; courteous, he makes them pleased and restful. With all their happiness, there is no wild extravagance; with all their observance of ceremonial usages, there is the feeling of affection. Notwithstanding his awing gravity, they are restful; notwithstanding his son-like gentleness, they are respectful. Thus he causes them to honour him as their father, and love him as their mother. There must be all this before he is the father and mother of his people. Could any one who was not possessed of perfect virtue be able to accomplish this? | |
| 今父之親子也，親賢而下無能；母之親子也，賢則親之，無能則憐之。母，親而不尊；父，尊而不親。水之於民也，親而不尊；火，尊而不親。土之於民也，親而不尊；天，尊而不親。命之於民也，親而不尊；鬼，尊而不親。」 | ||
| 'Here now is the affection of a father for his sons - he loves the worthy among them, and places on a lower level those who do not show ability; but that of a mother for them is such, that while she loves the worthy, she pities those who do not show ability - the mother deals with them on the ground of affection and not of showing them honour; the father, on the ground of showing them honour and not of affection. (So we may say of) water and the people, that it manifests affection to them, but does not give them honour; of fire, that it gives them honour, but does not manifest affection; of the ground, that it manifests affection, but does not give honour; of Heaven, that it gives them honour, but does not manifest affection; of the nature conferred on them, that it manifests affection, but does not give them honour; and of the manes of their departed, that they give honour, but do not manifest affection.' |
《大學 - Da Xue》 | English translation: James Legge [?] | Books referencing 《大學》 Library Resources |
| 12 | 大學: | 所謂平天下在治其國者：上老老而民興孝，上長長而民興弟，上恤孤而民不倍，是以君子有絜矩之道也。所惡於上，毋以使下；所惡於下，毋以事上；所惡於前，毋以先後；所惡於後，毋以從前；所惡於右，毋以交於左；所惡於左，毋以交於右。此之謂絜矩之道。《詩》云：「樂只君子，民之父母。」民之所好好之，民之所惡惡之，此之謂民之父母。《詩》云：「節彼南山，維石巖巖。赫赫師尹，民具爾瞻。」有國者不可以不慎，辟則為天下戮矣。 |
| Da Xue: | What is meant by "The making the whole kingdom peaceful and happy depends on the government of his state," this: When the sovereign behaves to his aged, as the aged should be behaved to, the people become filial; when the sovereign behaves to his elders, as the elders should be behaved to, the people learn brotherly submission; when the sovereign treats compassionately the young and helpless, the people do the same. Thus the ruler has a principle with which, as with a measuring square, he may regulate his conduct. What a man dislikes in his superiors, let him not display in the treatment of his inferiors; what he dislikes in inferiors, let him not display in the service of his superiors; what he hates in those who are before him, let him not therewith precede those who are behind him; what he hates in those who are behind him, let him not bestow on the left; what he hates to receive on the left, let him not bestow on the right:-this is what is called "The principle with which, as with a measuring square, to regulate one's conduct." In the Book of Poetry, it is said, "How much to be rejoiced in are these princes, the parents of the people!" When a prince loves what the people love, and hates what the people hate, then is he what is called the parent of the people. In the Book of Poetry, it is said, "Lofty is that southern hill, with its rugged masses of rocks! Greatly distinguished are you, O grand-teacher Yin, the people all look up to you. "Rulers of states may not neglect to be careful. If they deviate to a mean selfishness, they will be a disgrace in the kingdom. |

| 30 | 禮論: | 君之喪，所以取三年，何也？曰：君者、治辨之主也，文理之原也，情貌之盡也，相率而致隆之，不亦可乎？《詩》曰：「愷悌君子，民之父母。」彼君子者，固有為民父母之說焉。父能生之，不能養之；母能食之，不能教誨之；君者，已能食之矣，又善教誨之者也。三年畢矣哉！乳母、飲食之者也，而三月；慈母、衣被之者也，而九月；君曲備之者也，三年畢乎哉！得之則治，失之則亂，文之至也。得之則安，失之則危，情之至也。兩至者俱積焉，以三年事之，猶未足也，直無由進之耳。故社，祭社也；稷、祭稷也；郊者，並百王於上天而祭祀之也。 |

《廣至德 - Amplification of 'the Perfect Virtue' in Chapter I》 | English translation: James Legge [?] | Library Resources |
| 1 | 廣至德: | 子曰：「君子之教以孝也，非家至而日見之也。教以孝，所以敬天下之為人父者也。教以悌，所以敬天下之為人兄者也。教以臣，所以敬天下之為人君者也。《詩》云：『愷悌君子，民之父母。』非至德，其孰能順民如此其大者乎！」 |
| Amplification of 'the Perfect...: |
The Master said, "The teaching of filial piety by the superior man does not require that he should go to family after family and daily see the members of each. His teaching of filial piety is a tribute of reverence to all the fathers under heaven. His teaching of fraternal submission is a tribute of reverence to all the elder brothers under heaven. His teaching of the duty of a subject is a tribute of reverence to all the rulers under heaven. It is said in the Book of Poetry: The happy and courteous sovereign Is the parent of the people. If it were not a perfect virtue, how could it be recognized as in accordance with their nature by the people so extensively as this?" |

| 22 | 卷六: | 《詩》曰：「愷悌君子，民之父母。」君子為民父母何如？曰：「君子者、貌恭而行肆，身儉而施博，故不肖者不能逮也。殖盡於己，而區略於人，故可盡身而事也。篤愛而不奪，厚施而不伐；見人有善，欣然樂之；見人不善，惕然掩之；有其過而兼包之；授衣以最，授食以多；法下易由，事寡易為；是以中立而為人父母也。築城而居之，別田而養之，立學以教之，使人知親尊，親尊故為父服斬縗三年，為君亦服斬縗三年，為民父母之謂也。」 |

| 10 | 卷八: | 子賤治單父其民附，孔子曰：「告丘之所以治之者。」對曰：「不齊時發倉廩，振困窮，補不足。」孔子曰：「是小人附耳，未也。」對曰：「賞有能，招賢才，退不肖。」孔子曰：「是士附耳，未也。」對曰：「所父事者三人，所兄事者五人，所友者十有二人，所師者一人。」孔子曰：「所父事者三人，〔足以教孝矣，〕所兄事者五人，足以教弟矣；所友者十有二人，足以袪壅蔽矣；所師者一人，足以慮無失策，舉無敗功矣。惜乎！不齊〔之所為者小也，〕為之大，功乃與堯舜參矣。」《詩》曰：「愷悌君子，民之父母。」子賤其似之矣。 |
