Tsze-chang said, "The scholar, trained for public duty, seeing threateningdanger, is prepared to sacrifice his life. When the opportunity of gain ispresented to him, he thinks of righteousness. In sacrificing, his thoughtsare reverential. In mourning, his thoughts are about the grief which heshould feel. Such a man commands our approbation1 indeedTsze-chang said, "When a man holds fast to virtue2, but without seeking toenlarge it, and believes in right principles, but without firm sincerity,what account can be made of his existence or non-existence?"The disciples3 of Tsze-hsia asked Tsze-chang about the principles thatshould characterize mutual4 intercourse5. Tsze-chang asked, "What doesTsze-hsia say on the subject?" They replied, "Tsze-hsia says: 'Associatewith those who can advantage you. Put away from you those who cannot doso.'" Tsze-chang observed, "This is different from what I have learned. Thesuperior man honors the talented and virtuous6, and bears with all. Hepraises the good, and pities the incompetent7. Am I possessed8 of greattalents and virtue?-who is there among men whom I will not bear with? Am Idevoid of talents and virtue?-men will put me away from them. What have weto do with the putting away of others?"Tsze-hsia said, "Even in inferior studies and employments there issomething worth being looked at; but if it be attempted to carry them outto what is remote, there is a danger of their proving inapplicable.
Therefore, the superior man does not practice them."Tsze-hsia said, "He, who from day to day recognizes what he has not yet,and from month to month does not forget what he has attained9 to, may besaid indeed to love to learn."Tsze-hsia said, "There are learning extensively, and having a firm andsincere aim; inquiring with earnestness, and reflecting withself-application:-virtue is in such a course."Tsze-hsia said, "Mechanics have their shops to dwell in, in order toaccomplish their works. The superior man learns, in order to reach to theutmost of his principles."Tsze-hsia said, "The mean man is sure to gloss10 his faults."Tsze-hsia said, "The superior man undergoes three changes. Looked at from adistance, he appears stern; when approached, he is mild; when he is heardto speak, his language is firm and decided11."Tsze-hsia said, "The superior man, having obtained their confidence, maythen impose labors12 on his people. If he have not gained their confidence,they will think that he is oppressing them. Having obtained the confidenceof his prince, one may then remonstrate13 with him. If he have not gained hisconfidence, the prince will think that he is vilifying14 him."Tsze-hsia said, "When a person does not transgress15 the boundary line in thegreat virtues16, he may pass and repass it in the small virtues."Tsze-yu said, "The disciples and followers17 of Tsze-hsia, in sprinkling andsweeping the ground, in answering and replying, in advancing and receding,are sufficiently18 accomplished19. But these are only the branches of learning,and they are left ignorant of what is essential.-How can they beacknowledged as sufficiently taught?"Tsze-hsia heard of the remark and said, "Alas20! Yen21 Yu is wrong. Accordingto the way of the superior man in teaching, what departments are therewhich he considers of prime importance, and delivers? what are there whichhe considers of secondary importance, and allows himself to be idle about?
But as in the case of plants, which are assorted22 according to theirclasses, so he deals with his disciples. How can the way of a superior manbe such as to make fools of any of them? Is it not the sage23 alone, who canunite in one the beginning and the consummation of learning?"Tsze-hsia said, "The officer, having discharged all his duties, shoulddevote his leisure to learning. The student, having completed his learning,should apply himself to be an officer."Tsze-hsia said, "Mourning, having been carried to the utmost degree ofgrief, should stop with that."Tsze-hsia said, "My friend Chang can do things which are hard to be done,but yet he is not perfectly24 virtuous."The philosopher Tsang said, "How imposing25 is the manner of Chang! It isdifficult along with him to practice virtue."The philosopher Tsang said, "I heard this from our Master: 'Men may nothave shown what is in them to the full extent, and yet they will be foundto do so, on the occasion of mourning for their parents."The philosopher Tsang said, "I have heard this from our Master:-'The filialpiety of Mang Chwang, in other matters, was what other men are competentto, but, as seen in his not changing the ministers of his father, nor hisfather's mode of government, it is difficult to be attained to.'"The chief of the Mang family having appointed Yang Fu to be chief criminaljudge, the latter consulted the philosopher Tsang. Tsang said, "The rulershave failed in their duties, and the people consequently have beendisorganized for a long time. When you have found out the truth of anyaccusation, be grieved for and pity them, and do not feel joy at your ownability."Tsze-kung said, "Chau's wickedness was not so great as that name implies.
Therefore, the superior man hates to dwell in a low-lying situation, whereall the evil of the world will flow in upon him."Tsze-kung said, "The faults of the superior man are like the eclipses ofthe sun and moon. He has his faults, and all men see them; he changesagain, and all men look up to him."Kung-sun Ch'ao of Wei asked Tszekung, saying. "From whom did Chung-ni gethis learning?"Tsze-kung replied, "The doctrines27 of Wan26 and Wu have not yet fallen to theground. They are to be found among men. Men of talents and virtue rememberthe greater principles of them, and others, not possessing such talents andvirtue, remember the smaller. Thus, all possess the doctrines of Wan andWu. Where could our Master go that he should not have an opportunity oflearning them? And yet what necessity was there for his having a regularmaster?"Shu-sun Wu-shu observed to the great officers in the court, saying,"Tsze-kung is superior to Chung-ni."Tsze-fu Ching-po reported the observation to Tsze-kung, who said, "Let meuse the comparison of a house and its encompassing28 wall. My wall onlyreaches to the shoulders. One may peep over it, and see whatever isvaluable in the apartments.
"The wall of my Master is several fathoms29 high. If one do not find the doorand enter by it, he cannot see the ancestral temple with its beauties, norall the officers in their rich array.
"But I may assume that they are few who find the door. Was not theobservation of the chief only what might have been expected?"Shu-sun Wu-shu having spoken revilingly of Chung-ni, Tsze-kung said, "It isof no use doing so. Chung-ni cannot be reviled30. The talents and virtue ofother men are hillocks and mounds31 which may be stepped over. Chung-ni isthe sun or moon, which it is not possible to step over. Although a man maywish to cut himself off from the sage, what harm can he do to the sun ormoon? He only shows that he does not know his own capacity.
Ch'an Tsze-ch' in, addressing Tsze-kung, said, "You are too modest. How canChung-ni be said to be superior to you?"Tsze-kung said to him, "For one word a man is often deemed to be wise, andfor one word he is often deemed to be foolish. We ought to be carefulindeed in what we say.
"Our Master cannot be attained to, just in the same way as the heavenscannot be gone up by the steps of a stair.
"Were our Master in the position of the ruler of a state or the chief of afamily, we should find verified the description which has been given of asage's rule:-he would plant the people, and forthwith they would beestablished; he would lead them on, and forthwith they would follow him; hewould make them happy, and forthwith multitudes would resort to hisdominions; he would stimulate32 them, and forthwith they would be harmonious33.
While he lived, he would be glorious. When he died, he would be bitterlylamented. How is it possible for him to be attained to?"
子张篇第十九
19.1 子张曰：“士见危致命，见得思义，祭思敬，丧思哀，其可已矣。”
19.2 子张曰：“执德不弘，信道不笃，焉能为有？焉能为亡？”
19.3 子夏之门人问交于子张。子张曰：“子夏云何？”对曰：“子夏曰：‘可者与之，其不可者拒之。’”子张曰：“异乎吾所闻：君子尊贤而容众，嘉善而矜不能。我之大贤与，于人何所不容？我之不贤与，人将拒我，如之何其拒人也？”
19.4 子夏曰：“虽小道，必有可观者焉；致远恐泥，是以君子不为也。”
19.5 子夏曰：“日知其所亡，月无忘其所能，可谓好学也已矣。”
19.6 子夏曰：“博学而笃志，切问而近思，仁在其中矣。”
19.7 子夏曰：“百工居肆以成其事，君子学以致其道。”
19.8 子夏曰：“小人之过也必文。”
19.9 子夏曰：“君子有三变：望之俨然，即之也温，听其言也厉。”
19.10 子夏曰：“君子信而后劳其民，未信则以为厉己也。信而后谏，未信则以为谤己也。”
19.11 子夏曰：“大德不逾闲，小德出入可也。”
19.12 子游曰：“子夏之门人小子，当酒扫应对进退，则可矣，抑末也。本之则无，如之何？”子夏闻之，曰：“噫！言游过矣！君子之道，孰先传焉，孰后倦焉？譬诸草木，区以别矣。君子之道，焉可诬也？有始有卒者，其惟圣人乎！”
19.13 子夏曰：“仕而优则学，学而优则仕。”
19.14 子游曰：“丧致乎哀而止。”
19.15 子游曰：“吾友张也为难能也，然而未仁。”
19.16 曾子曰：“堂堂乎张也，难与并为仁矣。”
19.17 曾子曰：“吾闻诸夫子：人未有自致者也，必也亲丧乎！”
19.18 曾子曰：“吾闻诸夫子：孟庄子之孝也，其他可能也；其不改父之臣与父之政，是难能也。”
19.19 孟氏使阳肤为士师，问于曾子。曾子曰：“上失其道，民散久矣。如得其情，则哀矜而勿喜！”
19.20 子贡曰：“纣之不善，不如是之甚也。是以君子恶居下流，天下之恶皆归焉。”
19.21 子贡曰：“君子之过也，如日月之食焉；过也，人皆见之；更也，人皆抑之。”
19.22 卫公孙朝问于子贡曰：“仲尼焉学？”子贡曰：“文、武之道，未坠于地，在人。贤者识其大者，不贤者识其小者。莫不有文武之道焉。夫子焉不学？而亦何常师之有？”
19.23 叔孙武叔语大夫于朝，曰：“子贡贤于仲尼。”子服景伯以告子贡。子贡曰：“譬之宫墙，赐之墙也及肩，窥见室家之好。夫子之墙数仞，不得其门而入，不见宗庙之美，百官之富。得其门者或寡矣。夫子之云，不亦宜乎！”
19.24 叔孙武叔毁仲尼。子贡曰：“无以为也！仲尼不可毁也。他人之贤者，丘陵也，犹可逾也；仲尼，日月也，无得而逾焉。人虽欲自绝，其何伤于日月乎？多见其不知量也。”
19.25 陈子禽谓子贡曰：“子为恭也，仲尼岂贤于子乎？”子贡曰：“君子一言以为知，一言以为不知，言不可不慎也。夫子之不可及也，犹天之不可阶而升也。夫子之得邦家者，所谓立之斯立，道之斯行，绥之斯来，动之斯和。其生也荣，其死也哀。如之何其可及也？”
