XX. On government: showing principally how it depends on the character of the officers administering it, and how that depends on the character of the sovereign himself.
Zhongyong XX. 6.
"When those in inferior situations do not possess the confidence of their superiors, they cannot retain the government of the people.
Legge XX.6.
所以君子不可以不修养自身。想要修养自身，不可以不事奉亲族长辈；想要事奉亲族长辈，不可以不了解人；想要了解人，不可以不知道天地间的自然法则。”
