言偃Yan Yan again asked,
?” 'Are the rules of Propriety indeed of such urgent importance?'
孔子 Confucius said,
'It was by those rules
that the ancient kings sought to represent the ways of Heaven,
and to regulate the feelings of men.
Therefore he who neglects or violates them may be (spoken of) as dead,
and he who observes them, as alive.
It is said in the Book of Poetry,
"Look at a rat-how small its limbs and fine!
Then mark the course that scorns the proper line.
Propriety's neglect may well provoke;
?’ A wish the man would quickly court death's stroke."
Therefore those rules
are rooted in heaven,
have their correspondencies in earth,
and are applicable to spiritual beings.
They extend to funeral rites, sacrifices, archery, chariot-driving, capping, marriage, audiences, and friendly missions.
圣人 Thus the sages made known these rules,
天下。”and it became possible for the kingdom, with its states and clans, to reach its correct condition.'
