Legge III.12.

'Sacrifice as if present' is taken to mean 'sacrifice to the gods as if gods were present.'
The Master, however, said, 'Unless I take part in a sacrifice, it is as if I did not sacrifice.

Lau [3:12]

Confucius faisait des offrandes à ses parents défunts et aux esprits tutélaires, comme s'il les avait vus présents. Il disait : « Un sacrifice auquel je n'assisterais pas en personne, et que je ferais offrir par un autre, ne me paraîtrait pas un sacrifice véritable. »

Couvreur III.12.

Beramal hanya kepada yang nampak, beramal kepada dewa kalau dewa itu nampak.
