儒家 -> 孟子 -> 告子下 -> 27.1

孟子Mencius said,
'The five chiefs of the princes
were sinners against the three kings.
诸侯The princes of the present day
are sinners against the five chiefs.
The Great officers of the present day
诸侯are sinners against the princes.
天子诸侯巡狩The sovereign visited the princes, which was called "A tour of Inspection."
诸侯天子The princes attended at the court of the sovereign, which was called "Giving a report of office."
It was a custom in the spring to examine the ploughing, and supply any deficiency of seed;
and in autumn to examine the reaping, and assist where there was a deficiency of the crop.
When the sovereign entered the boundaries of a State,
if the new ground was being reclaimed,
and the old fields well cultivated;
if the old were nourished and the worthy honoured;
and if men of distinguished talents were placed in office:
then the prince was rewarded
- rewarded with an addition to his territory.
On the other hand, if, on entering a State,
the ground was found left wild or overrun with weeds;
if the old were neglected and the worthy unhonoured;
and if the offices were filled with hard taxgatherers:
then the prince was reprimanded.
If a prince once omitted his attendance at court,
he was punished by degradation of rank;
if he did so a second time,
he was deprived of a portion of his territory;
if he did so a third time,
the royal forces were set in motion, and he was removed from his government.
天子Thus the sovereign commanded the punishment, but did not himself inflict it,
诸侯while the princes inflicted the punishment, but did not command it.
诸侯诸侯The five chiefs, however, dragged the princes to punish other princes,
and hence I say that they were sinners against the three kings.
