– The Doctrine of the Mean
Confucius' grandson comments about the Way and human nature. Tr. Legge (en)
Zhongyong XXVIII. 4.
One may occupy the throne, but if he have not the proper virtue, he may not dare to make ceremonies or music. One may have the virtue, but if he do not occupy the throne, he may not presume to make ceremonies or music.
Legge XXVIII.4.
孔子说：“我讲夏代的礼，夏的后裔杞国不能引用它来作证明；我学殷商的礼，还有商的后代宋国在，可供参考；我学周的礼仪，现在用的就是，我赞成周代的礼仪。”
