tāng ㄊㄤ : 商朝第一個君王。 Tang, the first ruler of the Shang dynasty.
| 《·》: | 舜染於許由1、伯陽，禹染於皋陶、伯益，湯染於伊尹、仲虺，武王染於太公、周公。 | | Thus Shun came under the influences of Xu You and Bo Yang; Yu, under that of Gao Yao and Bo Yi; Tang, under that of Yi Yin and Zhong Hui; and King Wu, under that of the Grand Duke and Duke Zhou. | | 《·》: | 惟仁者為能以大事小，是故湯事葛，文王事昆夷。 | | But it requires a perfectly virtuous prince to be able, with a great country, to serve a small one - as, for instance, Tang served Ge, and king Wen served the Kun barbarians. | | 《·》: | 湯之問棘也是已。 | | In the questions put by Tang to Ji we have similar statements: | | 《·》: | 湯征諸侯。 | | When Tang made an expedition against the princes. | | 《·》: | 禹、湯、文、武、成王、周公，由此其選也。 | | And thus it was (also) that Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu, king Cheng, and the duke of Zhou obtained their distinction. | | 《·》: | 湯武之王也，不循古而興。 | | Tang and Wu succeeded in attaining supremacy without following antiquity. | | 《·》: | 伊尹毋變殷，太公毋變周，則湯、武不王矣。 | | 《·》: | 是以稱湯、武之賢。 | | 《·》: | 是若不行，則湯武在上曷益？ | | 《》: | 臧文仲曰，宋其興乎，禹湯罪己，其興也悖焉，桀紂罪人，其亡也忽焉，且列國有凶，稱孤禮也，言懼而名禮，其庶乎。 | | 《·》: | 伊尹相湯伐桀，升自陑，遂與桀戰于鳴條之野，作《》。 | | 《·》: | 故桀紂以不仁失天下，湯武以積德有海土，是以聖王貴德而務行之。 | | 《·》: | 進義誅惡絕之本，而以其施，此舉湯武同而有異。 | | 《·》: | 舜染於許由、伯陽，禹染於皋陶、伯益，湯染於伊尹、仲虺，武王染於太公望、周公旦，此四王者所染當，故王天下，立為天子，功名蔽天地，舉天下之仁義顯人必稱此四王者。 | | 《·》: | 湯放桀而復薄，三千諸侯大會，湯取天子之璽，置之天子之坐左，退而再拜，從諸侯之位。 | | 《·》: | 天地革而四時成，湯武革命，順乎天而應乎人，革之時大矣哉！ |
