30 文王世子:
天子視學,大昕鼓徵,所以警眾也。眾至,然後天子至。乃命有司行事。興秩節,祭先師先聖焉。有司卒事,反命。始之養也:適東序,釋奠於先老,遂設三老五更群老之席位焉。適饌醴,養老之珍,具;遂發詠焉,退修之以孝養也。反,登歌清廟,既歌而語,以成之也。言父子、君臣、長幼之道,合德音之致,禮之大者也。下管《象》,舞《大武》。大合眾以事,達有神,興有德也。正君臣之位、貴賤之等焉,而上下之義行矣。有司告以樂闋,王乃命公侯伯子男及群吏曰:「反!養老幼於東序。」終之以仁也。
Wen Wang Shi Zi:
When the son of Heaven was about to visit the college, the drum was beaten at early dawn to arouse all (the students). When all were come together, the son of Heaven then arrived and ordered the proper officers to discharge their business, proceeding in the regular order, and sacrificing to the former masters and former Sages. When they reported to him that everything had been done, he then began to go to the nourishing (of the aged). Proceeding to the school on the east, he unfolded and set forth the offerings to the aged of former times, and immediately afterwards arranged the mats and places for the three (classes of the) old, and the five (classes of the) experienced, for all the aged (indeed who were present). He (then) went to look at the food and examine the liquor. When the delicacies for the nourishment of the aged were all ready, he caused the song to be raised (as a signal for the aged to come). After this he retired and thus it was that he provided for (the aged) his filial nourishment. When (the aged) had returned (to their seats after partaking of the feast), the musicians went up and sang the Qing Miao, after which there was conversation to bring out fully its meaning. They spoke of the duties between father and son, ruler and minister, elders and juniors. This union (of the conversation) with the highest description of virtue in the piece constituted the greatest feature of the ceremony. Below (in the court-yard), the flute-players played the tune of the Xiang, while the Da-wu was danced, all uniting in the grand concert according to their parts, giving full development to the spirit (of the music), and stimulating the sense of virtue. The positions of ruler and minister, and the gradations of noble and mean were correctly exhibited, and the respective duties of high and low took their proper course. The officers having announced that the music was over, the king then charged the dukes, marquises, earls, counts, and barons, with all the officers, saying, 'Return, and nourish the aged and the young in your eastern schools.' Thus did he end (the ceremony) with (the manifestation of) benevolence.
