– The Doctrine of the Mean
Développements du petit-fils de Confucius sur le Tao et la nature humaine. Tr. Legge (en)
Zhongyong XXVI. 9.
The Heaven now before us is only this bright shining spot; but when viewed in its inexhaustible extent, the sun, moon, stars, and constellations of the zodiac, are suspended in it, and all things are overspread by it. The earth before us is but a handful of soil; but when regarded in its breadth and thickness, it sustains mountains like the Hwâ and the Yo, without feeling their weight, and contains the rivers and seas, without their leaking away. The mountain now before us appears only a stone; but when contemplated in all the vastness of its size, we see how the grass and trees are produced on it, and birds and beasts dwell on it, and precious things which men treasure up are found on it. The water now before us appears but a ladleful; yet extending our view to its unfathomable depths, the largest tortoises, iguanas, iguanodons, dragons, fishes, and turtles, are produced in it, articles of value and sources of wealth abound in it.
Legge XXVI.9.
《诗经·周颂·维天之命》上说：“想那天道在运行，啊！庄严肃穆永不停。”大概就是说的天之所以为天吧！又说：“啊呀！多么光明显赫！文王的德性确纯真！”大概就是说的文王之所以为文王，纯洁真挚得无止境！
