論 語 Lun Yu – The Analects of Confucius

朋友之饋、雖車馬、非祭肉、不拜。

原文 263

Traits of Confucius in the relation of a friend.
[...] 2. When a friend sent him a present, though it might be a carriage and horses, he did not bow.
3. The only present for which he bowed was that of the flesh of sacrifice.

Legge X.15.

Even when a gift from a friend was a carriage and horses–since it lacked the solemnity of sacrificial meat–he did not bow to the ground.

Lau [10:23]

[...] Quand il recevait des présents de ses amis, fût-ce des chars avec des chevaux, il ne se prosternait pas, à moins que ce ne fût de la viande offerte aux défunts.

Couvreur X.14.
