《孝治 - Filial Piety in Government》 | English translation: James Legge [?] | Books referencing 《孝治》 Library Resources |
| 1 | 孝治: | 子曰：“昔者明王之以孝治天下也，不敢遗小国之臣，而况于公、侯、伯、子、男乎？故得万国之欢心，以事其先王。治国者，不敢侮于鳏寡，而况于士民乎？故得百姓之欢心，以事其先君。治家者，不敢失于臣妾，而况于妻子乎？故得人之欢心，以事其亲。夫然，故生则亲安之，祭则鬼享之。是以天下和平，灾害不生，祸乱不作。故明王之以孝治天下也如此。《诗》云：‘有觉德行，四国顺之。’” |
| Filial Piety in Government:...: |
The Master said, "Anciently, when the intelligent kings by means of filial piety ruled all under heaven, they did not dare to receive with disrespect the ministers of small states. How much less would they do so to the dukes, marquises, counts, and barons! Thus it was that they got (the princes of) the myriad states with joyful hearts (to assist them) in the (sacrificial) services to their royal predecessors. The rulers of states did not dare to slight wifeless men and widows. How much less would they slight their officers and the people! Thus it was that they got all their people with joyful hearts (to assist them) in serving the rulers, their predecessors. The heads of clans did not dare to slight their servants and concubines. How much less would they slight their wives and sons! Thus it was that they got their men with joyful hearts (to assist them) in the service of their parents. In such a state of things, while alive, parents reposed in (the glory of) their sons, and, when sacrificed to, their disembodied spirits enjoyed their offerings. Therefore for all under heaven peace and harmony prevailed; disasters and calamities did not occur; misfortunes and rebellions did not arise. It is said in the Book of Poetry: To an upright, virtuous conduct All in the four quarters of the state render obedient homage." |
《纪孝行 - An Orderly Description of the Acts of Filial Piety》 | English translation: James Legge [?] | Library Resources |
| 1 | 纪孝行: | 子曰：“孝子之事亲也，居则致其敬，养则致其乐，病则致其忧，丧则致其哀，祭则致其严。五者备矣，然后能事亲。事亲者，居上不骄，为下不乱，在丑不争。居上而骄则亡，为下而乱则刑，在丑而争则兵。三者不除，虽日用三牲之养，犹为不孝也。” |
| An Orderly Description of...: |
The Master said, "The service which a filial son does to his parents is as follows: In his general conduct to them, he manifests the utmost reverence. In his nourishing of them, his endeavor is to give them the utmost pleasure. When they are ill, he feels the greatest anxiety. In mourning for them (dead), he exhibits every demonstration of grief. In sacrificing to them, he displays the utmost solemnity. When a son is complete in these five things, (he may be pronounced) able to serve his parents. He who (thus) serves his parents, in a high situation will be free from pride, in a low situation will be free from insubordination, and among his equals will not be quarrelsome. In a high situation pride leads to ruin; in a low situation insubordination leads to punishment; among equals quarrelsomeness leads to the wielding of weapons. If those three things be not put away, though a son every day contribute beef, mutton, and pork to nourish his parents, he is not filial." |
《五刑 - Filial Piety in Relation to the Five Punishments》 | English translation: James Legge [?] | Library Resources |
| 1 | 五刑: | 子曰：“五刑之属三千，而罪莫大于不孝。要君者无上，非圣人者无法，非孝者无亲。此大乱之道也。” |
| Filial Piety in Relation...: |
The Master said, "There are three thousand offenses against which the five punishments are directed, and there is not one of them greater than being unfilial. When constraint is put upon a ruler, that is the disowning of his superiority. When the authority of the sages is disallowed, that is the disowning of (all) law. When filial piety is put aside, that is the disowning of the principle of affection. These (three things) pave the way to anarchy." |
