庄子见鲁哀公。At an interview of Zhuangzi with duke Ai of Lu,
哀公曰： the duke said,
“鲁多儒士， 'There are many of the Learned class in Lu;
少为先生方者。”but few of them can be compared with you, Sir.'
庄子曰： Zhuangzi replied,
“鲁少儒。” 'There are few Learned men in Lu.'
哀公曰：“举鲁国而儒服，'Everywhere in Lu,' rejoined the duke, 'you see men wearing the dress of the Learned
何谓少乎？” - how can you say that they are few?'
庄子曰：“周闻之：'I have heard,' said Zhuangzi,
儒者冠圜冠者，'that those of them who wear round caps
知天时； know the times of heaven;
履句屦者，that those who wear square shoes
知地形； know the contour of the ground;
缓佩玦者，and that those who saunter about with semicircular stones at their girdle-pendents
事至而断。 settle matters in dispute as they come before them.
君子有其道者，But superior men who are possessed of such knowledge
未必为其服也； will not be found wearing the dress,
为其服者，未必知其道也。 and it does not follow that those who wear the dress possess the knowledge.
公固以为不然， If your Grace think otherwise,
何不号于国中曰 why not issue a notification through the state,
‘无此道而为此服者，其罪死’？” that it shall be a capital offence to wear the dress without possessing the knowledge.'
于是哀公号之五日，On this the duke issued such a notification, and in five days,
而鲁国无敢儒服者。throughout all Lu, there was no one who dared to wear the dress of the Learned.
独有一丈夫儒服而立乎公门， There was only one old man who came and stood in it at the duke's gate.
公即召而问以国事，The duke instantly called him in, and questioned him about the affairs of the state,
千转万变而不穷。 when he talked about a thousand points and ten thousand divergences from them.
庄子曰： Zhuangzi said,
“以鲁国而儒者一人耳， 'When the state of Lu can thus produce but one man of the Learned class,
可谓多乎？” can he be said to be many?'
