[Also known as: "Questions of Duke Ai"]

4 哀公问:
公曰:“敢问何谓为政?”孔子对曰:“政者正也。君为正,则百姓从政矣。君之所为,百姓之所从也。君所不为,百姓何从?”
Ai Gong Wen:
The duke said, 'I venture to ask what is meant by the practice of government.' Confucius replied, 'Government is rectification. When the ruler is correct himself, all the people will follow his government. What the ruler does is what the people follow. How should they follow what he does not do?'
