XXXI. The eulogium on Confucius continued.

Zhongyong XXXI. 3.

All-embracing and vast, he is like Heaven. Deep and active as a fountain, he is like the abyss. He is seen, and the people all reverence him; he speaks, and the people all believe him; he acts, and the people all are pleased with him.

Legge XXXI.3.

所以他的荣誉充满于中国,传播到落后部落中去,在车船所到,人迹所通,天所覆盖,地所负载,日月所照耀,霜露所润泽之处,凡是有血气的人没有不尊敬而亲近他的,所以他能和天相配。
