Legge XIII.28.
Tzu-lu asked, 'What must a man be like before he deserves to be called a Gentleman?' The Master said, 'One who is, on the one hand, earnest and keen and, on the other, genial deserves to be called a Gentleman–earnest and keen amongst friends and genial amongst brothers.'
Lau [13:28]
Tzeu lou pria Confucius de lui dire ce que doit être un gentilhomme. Le Maître répondit : « Celui qui est exigeant, affable et prévenant mérite le nom de gentilhomme. Il est exigeant et affable envers ses amis ; il est prévenant envers ses frères. »
