cháo ㄔㄠˊ (4): 朝見的地方，朝廷。 Court, place where ministers meet with the ruler.
| 《·》: | 子退朝，曰：「傷人乎？」 | | When he was at court, on his return he said, "Has any man been hurt?" | | 《·》: | 今王發政施仁，使天下仕者皆欲立於王之朝，耕者皆欲耕於王之野，商賈皆欲藏於王之市，行旅皆欲出於王之塗，天下之欲疾其君者皆欲赴愬於王。 | | Now if your Majesty will institute a government whose action shall be benevolent, this will cause all the officers in the kingdom to wish to stand in your Majesty's court, and all the farmers to wish to plough in your Majesty's fields, and all the merchants, both travelling and stationary, to wish to store their goods in your Majesty's market-places, and all travelling strangers to wish to make their tours on your Majesty's roads, and all throughout the kingdom who feel aggrieved by their rulers to wish to come and complain to your Majesty. | | 《·》: | 若使人於君所，則必朝服而命之。 | | If (a minister) send a message to his ruler, he must wear his court-robes when he communicates it to the bearer. | | 《·》: | 四年，朝群臣，安陽君來朝，主父從旁觀窺，群臣宗室見章儽然也，反臣於弟，心憐之。 |
