| 2 | 干子十卷: | 執杓而飲河者，不過滿腹。棄室而灑雨者，不過濡身。 |
| Holding a ladle to drink from the Yellow River, one can fill no more than one's belly. Leaving the house to sprinkle rain, one wets only oneself. | ||
| 3 | 干子十卷: | 勢弱于己則虎步而凌之，勢强于己則躐行而事之：此姦雄之才也，亦且小人。 |
| If the opponent is weaker than oneself, one strides forward like a tiger to dominate them; if stronger, one scrambles ahead to serve them. This is the talent of a cunning warlord, and also that of a petty person. |
