Second, the original text (excerpt)

Confucius said, "Why not? Also speak your mind! " He said: "Mo Chun, who has taken the spring clothes, has five or six champions and six or seven boys, bathed in deduction, dancing in the wind and singing back." The master sighed and said, "I have a point." The third son came out and Zeng Xi was the queen. Zeng said, "What about the words of one husband and three sons?" Confucius said, "Let's stop talking!"

He said, "What's the reason, Master?" He said, "be polite to the country. If you don't let it, that's one reason. If you only want it, you are not a country. Who is comfortable in sixty or seventy, say fifty or sixty, not the country? Only red is not a state? Ancestral temples will be harmonious, not princes. The red one is small, how can it be big? "

Three. translate

Confucius said, "What does that matter? Just talk about your own ambitions. " (Zeng) said: "In late spring (the weather is warm), spring ploughing has been finished. (I and) five or six adults, six or seven teenagers, went swimming in Lishui, played the trumpet on the stage and sang songs to go home. "

Confucius sighed and said, "I agree with Zeng Xi!" " You Ran and Gong Xihua all went out and were the last to leave. Zeng Xi asked Confucius, "What about the three of them?" Confucius said, "I'm just talking about my ambition!" Zeng Xi said, "Why do you laugh at Zhong You?"

Confucius said, "Ruling a country requires courtesy first, but Lutz's words are not humble, so I laugh at them. Isn't You Ran talking about state affairs? How can we see that a small country 60 or 70 miles across or 50 or 60 miles across is not a national event?

Isn't Gong Xihua talking about vassal affairs? Sacrificing the ancestral temple, the alliance of governors and meeting the emperor are not major events for governors. What is this? Gong Xihua can only make small pictures for princes, so who can make big pictures for princes? "
