The Tamer

The sleeves should be round to correspond to the rule; the curved skirt should be like a square to correspond to the square; the rope should be carried to the ankle to correspond to the straightness; the lower part should be even like a scale to correspond to the balance. Therefore, the rule is to raise the hand for tolerance; the rope is carried to hold the square to straighten the politics and square the righteousness. Therefore, the Book of Changes says: Kun, "The movement of six two is straight and square." The lower part should be even like a scale to calm the mind and calm the heart. The five methods have been applied, so the sages follow them. Therefore, the rule is taken for its impartiality, the rope is taken for its straightness, and the scale is taken for its balance, so the ancient kings valued them. Therefore, he can be a civil servant, a military officer, a prime minister, or a military commander. He is perfect and not wasteful, which is the next best thing in clothing.

He sent someone to ask him, "The Yu clan did not show trust to the people, but the people trusted them; the Xia clan did not show respect to the people, but the people respected them. How did they get this from the people?" He replied, "In the ruins and tombs, they did not show grief to the people, but the people mourned; in the altars and ancestral temples, they did not show respect to the people, but the people respected them. The Yin people made an oath, but the people began to rebel; the Zhou people made a meeting, but the people began to doubt. If there is no courtesy, righteousness, loyalty, sincerity and honesty to govern them, even if they are firmly united, will the people not break away?"

When Yuan Hong first wrote the Fu on the Eastern Expedition, he did not mention Tao Yuanming at all. The Hu slave lured him into a narrow room, pointed a sword at him, and said, "The merits of our ancestors were so great! You wrote the poem about the Eastern Expedition, how could you ignore it?"
