杂家 -> 淮南子 -> 齐俗训 -> 5

由此观之，廉有所在，而不可公行也。From this we see that integrity has its place but cannot be universally practiced.
故行齐于俗，可随也；Therefore, to act in accordance with the customs of society is something one can follow;
事周于能，易为也。to entrust affairs to those who are capable makes things easy to accomplish.
矜伪以惑世，伉行以违众，圣人不以为民俗。To pretend virtue in order to deceive the world, or to behave defiantly against the majority—sages do not regard such conduct as a model for folk customs.
广厦阔屋，连闼通房，人之所安也；Spacious halls and wide houses, with connecting doors and open rooms—are what people find comfortable;
鸟入之而忧。birds entering them would feel anxious.
高山险阻，深林丛薄，虎豹之所乐也；High mountains and perilous terrain, dense forests and thick undergrowth—are what tigers and leopards enjoy;
人入之而畏。humans entering them would feel fear.
川谷通原，积水重泉，鼋鼍之所便也；Rivers and valleys flowing through the plains, with accumulated water and deep springs—are what soft-shelled turtles and crocodiles find convenient;
人入之而死。humans entering them would die.
咸池、承云，九韶、六英，人之所乐也；Xianchi, Chengyun, Jiushao, and Liuying—are music that people enjoy;
鸟兽闻之而惊。birds and beasts hearing it would be startled.
深溪峭岸，峻木寻枝，猿狖之所乐也；Deep ravines with steep banks, tall trees with long branches—are what gibbons and macaques enjoy;
人上之而栗。humans climbing them would tremble.
形殊性诡，所以为乐者，乃所以为哀；Different forms and strange natures—what brings joy to one being may bring sorrow to another;
所以为安者，乃所以为危也。what provides safety for one may be the source of danger for another.
乃至天地之所覆载，日月之所昭誋，使各便其性，安其居，处其宜，为其能。Even as to what is covered and borne by heaven and earth, illuminated by the sun and moon—each thing finds convenience in its nature, peace in its dwelling, suitability in its environment, and fulfills its capacity.
故愚者有所修，智者有所不足。Therefore, even fools have something to cultivate, while the wise may still lack something.
柱不可以摘齿，筐不可以持屋，马不可以服重，牛不可以追速，铅不可以为刀，铜不可以为弩，铁不可以为舟，木不可以为釜。A pillar cannot be used as a toothpick, a basket cannot hold a house, a horse cannot bear heavy loads, a cow cannot run swiftly, lead cannot make a knife, copper cannot make a crossbow, iron cannot build a boat, and wood cannot serve as a cauldron.
各用之于其所适，施之于其所宜，即万物一齐，而无由相过。When each thing is used in accordance with its suitability, applied where it fits best—then all things become one and the same, and none can surpass another.
夫明镜便于照形，其于以函食，不如箪；A clear mirror is convenient for reflecting one's form; but when it comes to holding food, it is no match for a bamboo basket;
牺牛粹毛，宜于庙牲，其于以致雨，不若黑蜧。a sacrificial ox with pure white hair is suitable as an offering in the ancestral temple, but when it comes to summoning rain, it cannot rival a black turtle.
