XXIX. An illustration of the sentence in the twenty-seventh chapter– "When he occupies a high station he is not proud;" or rather, the Sage and his institutions seen in their effect and issue.

Zhongyong XXIX. 6.

It is said in the Book of Poetry,– "Not disliked there, not tired of here, from day to day and night to night, will they perpetuate their praise." Never has there been a ruler, who did not realize this description, that obtained an early renown throughout the kingdom.

Legge XXIX.6.

孔子以尧舜之道为远祖而加以传述，取法周文王、武王之道而加以阐明；上则效法天时的运行，下则因袭水土的习性加以利用，
