昔者昊英之世，以伐木杀兽，人民少而木兽多。	Of old, in the times of the Great and Illustrious Ruler, people found their livelihood by cutting trees and slaying animals; the population was sparse, and trees and animals numerous.
黄帝之世，不麛不卵，官无供备之民，死不得用椁。	In the times of Huang-di, neither young animals nor eggs were taken; the officials had no provisions, and when the people died, they were not allowed to use outer coffins.
事不同，	These measures were not the same,
皆王者，时异也。	but that they both attained supremacy was due to the fact that the times in which they lived were different.
神农之世，	In the times of Shen-nong,
男耕而食，	men ploughed to obtain food,
妇织而衣，	and women wove to obtain clothing.
刑政不用而治，	Without the application of punishments or governmental measures, order prevailed;
甲兵不起而王。	without the raising of mailed soldiers, he reigned supreme.
神农既没，以强胜弱，以众暴寡。	After Shen-nong had died, the weak were conquered by force and the few oppressed by the many.
故黄帝作为君臣上下之义，	Therefore Huang-di created the ideas of prince and minister, of superior and inferior,
父子兄弟之礼，	the rites between father and son, between elder and younger brothers,
夫妇妃匹之合；	the union between husband and wife, and between consort and mate.
内行刀锯，	At home, he applied sword and saw,
外用甲兵，	and abroad he used mailed soldiers;
故时变也。	this was because the times had changed.
由此观之，神农非高于黄帝也，然其名尊者，以适于时也。	Looking at it from this point of view, Shen-nong is not higher than Huang-di, but the reason that his name was honoured was because he suited his time.
故以战去战，	Therefore, if by war one wishes to abolish war,
虽战可也；	even war is permissible;
以杀去杀，	if by killing one wants to abolish killing,
虽杀可也；	even killing is permissible;
以刑去刑，	if by punishments one wishes to abolish punishments,
虽重刑可也。	even heavy punishments are permissible.
