Confucius' grandson comments about the Way and human nature. Tr. Legge (en)
Chung-nî said, "The superior man embodies the course of the Mean; the mean man acts contrary to the course of the Mean.
Legge II.1.
促尼说:“君子实行的是不偏不倚、永恒不变的中庸之道,小人却声违反这中庸之道。
白话翻译
"The superior man's embodying the course of the Mean is because he is a superior man, and so always maintains the Mean. The mean man's acting contrary to the course of the Mean is because he is a mean man, and has no caution."
Legge II.2.
君子实行中庸之道,君子时时刻刻合乎中庸;小人违反中庸之道,因为小人无所顾忌,无所畏惧。”
