穆公子思Duke Mu asked Zi-si
?」 whether it was the way of antiquity for a retired officer still to wear the mourning for his old ruler.
子思:「君子'Princes of old,' was the reply,
退 'advanced men and dismissed them equally according to the rules of propriety;
and hence there was that rule about still wearing mourning for the old ruler.
君子But nowadays princes
advance men as if they were going to take them on their knees,
退 and dismiss them as if they were going to push them into an abyss.
Is it not good if (men so treated) do not head rebellion?
?」 How should there be the observance of that rule about still wearing mourning (for old rulers)?'
