| 子云： | The Master said, |
| 「睦於父母之黨， | 'To cultivate harmony with all the kindred of parents |
| 可謂孝矣。 | may be pronounced filial! |
| 故君子因睦以合族。」 | |
| 《詩》云： | It is said in the Book of Poetry (II, vii, ode 9, 3), |
| 「此令兄弟， | "Brethren whose virtue stands the test, By bad example still unchanged, |
| 綽綽有裕； | Their generous feelings manifest, Nor grow among themselves estranged. |
| 不令兄弟， | But if their virtue weakly fails, The evil influence to withstand, |
| 交相為愈。」 | Then selfishness o'er love prevails, And troubles rise on every hand."' |
