• 孔子說："像夏禹的為人，我找不到可以指責的漏洞。自己吃著菲薄的飲食，而卻用豐厚祭品祭拜祖先與神明；自己平時穿粗劣的衣裳，而在祭祀時穿戴華服禮帽；自己住小房子，卻盡力開通水道溝渠。像夏禹這樣的人，我實在找不到可以指責的漏洞了。" Confucius said: " Yu the Great's conduct, I could not point out any flaws. He consumes meager amount of food, while offering boastful riches to the Gods and ancestors; He always don the crudest attire, but wears lavish garments when worshipping; He resides in a small house, yet forges water ways and ditches with all his might. Figures like Yu the Great, I honestly cannot point out any reprehensible flaws."
