Ancient Classics -> Shang Shu -> Zhou Shu -> Announcement about Drunkenness -> 2

文王'King Wen admonished and instructed the young nobles, who were charged with office or in any employment,
that they should not ordinarily use spirits;
and throughout all the states,
he required that such should drink spirits only on occasion of sacrifices,
and that then virtue should preside so that there might be no drunkenness.
He said, 'Let my people teach their young men that they are to love only the productions of the soil,
for so will their hearts be good.
Let the young also hearken wisely to the constant instructions of their fathers;
and let them look at all virtuous actions, whether great or small,
in the same light (with watchful heed).
