1 五行对:
河闲献王问温城董君曰:“《孝经》曰‘夫孝,天之经,地之义。’何谓也?”对曰:“天有五行,木火土金水是也。木生火,火生土,土生金,金生水。水为冬,金为秋,土为季夏,木为春。春主生,夏主长,季夏主养,秋主收,冬主藏。藏,冬之所成也。是故父之所生,其子长之;父之所长,其子养之;父之所养,其子成之。诸父所为,其子皆奉承而续行之,不敢不致如父之意,尽为人之道也。故五行者,五行也。由此观之,父授之,子受之,乃天之道也。故曰:夫孝者,天之经也。此之谓也。”王曰:“善哉。天经既得闻之矣,愿闻地之义。”对曰:“地出云为雨,起气为风。风雨者,地之所为。地不敢有其功名,必上之于天。命若从天气者,故曰天风天雨也,莫曰地风地雨也。勤劳在地,名一归于天,非至有义,其孰能行此?故下事上,如地事天也,可谓大忠矣。土者,火之子也。五行莫贵于土。土之于四时无所命者,不与火分功名。木名春,火名夏,金名秋,水名冬。忠臣之义,孝子之行,取之土。土者,五行最贵者也,其义不可以加矣。五声莫贵于宫,五味莫美于甘,五色莫盛于黄,此谓孝者地之义也。”王曰:“善载!”
