The officer said,
'The arts by which you try to remove calamity are shallow.
Think of the close-furred fox and of the elegantly-spotted leopard.
They lodge in the forests on the hills,
and lurk in their holes among the rocks
- keeping still.
At night they go about, and during day remain in their lairs
- so cautious are they.
Even if they are suffering from hunger, thirst, and other distresses,
they still keep aloof from men, seeking their food about the Jiang and the Hu
- so resolute are they.
Still they are not able to escape the danger of the net or the trap;
and what fault is it of theirs?
It is their skins which occasion them the calamity.
And is not the state of Lu your lordship's skin?
I wish your lordship to rip your skin from your body,
to cleanse your heart, to put away your desires,
and to enjoy yourself where you will be without the presence of any one.
In the southern state of Yue, there is a district called "the State of Established Virtue."
The people are ignorant and simple;
their object is to minimise the thought of self and make their desires few;
they labour but do not lay up their gains;
they give but do not seek for any return;
they do not know what righteousness is required of them in any particular case,
nor by what ceremonies their performances should be signalised;
acting in a wild and eccentric way as if they were mad,
they yet keep to the grand rules of conduct.
Their birth is an occasion for joy;
their death is followed by the rites of burial.
I should wish your lordship to leave your state; to give up your ordinary ways,
。” and to proceed to that country by the directest course.'
