谆芒将东之大壑, | Zhun Mang, on his way to the ocean, |
适遇苑风于东海之滨。 | met with Yuan Feng on the shore of the eastern sea, |
苑风曰:“子将奚之?” | and was asked by him where he was going. |
曰:“将之大壑。” | 'I am going,' he replied, 'to the ocean;' |
曰: | and the other again asked, |
“奚为焉?” | 'What for?' |
曰: | Zhun Mang said, |
“夫大壑之为物也, | 'Such is the nature of the ocean |
注焉而不满, | that the waters which flow into it can never fill it, |
酌焉而不竭, | nor those which flow from it exhaust it. |
吾将游焉。” | I will enjoy myself, rambling by it.' |
苑风曰: | Yuan Feng replied, |
“夫子无意于横目之民乎? | 'Have you no thoughts about mankind? |
愿闻圣治。” | I should like to hear from you about sagely government.' |
谆芒曰: | Zhun Mang said, |
“圣治乎, | 'Under the government of sages, |
官施而不失其宜, | all offices are distributed according to the fitness of their nature; |
拔举而不失其能, | all appointments are made according to the ability of the men; |
毕见其情事而行其所为, | whatever is done is after a complete survey of all circumstances; |
行言自为而天下化, | actions and words proceed from the inner impulse, and the whole world is transformed. |
手挠顾指, | Wherever their hands are pointed and their looks directed, |
四方之民莫不俱至, | from all quarters the people are all sure to come (to do what they desire): |
此之谓圣治。” | this is what is called government by sages.' |
“愿闻德人。” | 'I should like to hear about (the government of) the kindly, virtuous men,' (continued Yuan Feng). |
曰: | The reply was, |
“德人者, | 'Under the government of the virtuous, |
居无思, | when quietly occupying (their place), they have no thought, |
行无虑, | and, when they act, they have no anxiety; |
不藏是非美恶。 | they do not keep stored (in their minds) what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad. |
四海之内,共利之之谓悦, | They share their benefits among all within the four seas, and this produces what is called (the state of) satisfaction; |
共给之之谓安; | they dispense their gifts to all, and this produces what is called (the state of) rest. |
怊乎若婴儿之失其母也, | (The people) grieve (on their death) like babies who have lost their mothers, |
傥乎若行而失其道也。 | and are perplexed like travellers who have lost their way. |
财用有馀而不知其所自来, | They have a superabundance of wealth and all necessaries, and they know not whence it comes; |
饮食取足而不知其所从。 | they have a sufficiency of food and drink, and they know not from whom they get it: |
此谓德人之容。” | such are the appearances (under the government) of the kindly and virtuous.' |
“愿闻神人。” | 'I should like to hear about (the government of) the spirit-like men,' (continued Yuan Feng once more). |
曰: | The reply was, |
“上神乘光, | 'Men of the highest spirit-like qualities mount up on the light, |
与形灭亡, | and (the limitations of) the body vanish. |
此谓照旷。 | This we call being bright and ethereal. |
天地乐而万事销亡, | They carry out to the utmost the powers with which they are endowed, and have not a single attribute unexhausted. Their joy is that of heaven and earth, and all embarrassments of affairs melt away and disappear; |
万物复情, | all things return to their proper nature: |
此之谓混冥。” | and this is what is called (the state of) chaotic obscurity.' |
