孔子 说 說 :" 像 夏禹 的 为人 為人 , 我 找不到 可以 指责 指責 的 漏洞 。 自己 吃 着 著 菲薄 的 饮食 飲食 , 而 却 卻 用 丰厚 豐厚 祭品 祭拜 祖先 与 與 神明 ; 自己 平时 平時 穿 粗劣 的 衣裳 , 而 在 祭祀 时 時 穿戴 华 華 服 礼帽 禮帽 ; 自己 住 小 房子 , 却 卻 尽力 盡力 开通 開通 水道 沟渠 溝渠 。 像 夏禹 这样 這樣 的 人 , 我 实在 實在 找不到 可以 指责 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."
