    孔子说："像夏禹的为人，我找不到可以指责的漏洞。自己吃著菲薄的饮食，而却用丰厚祭品祭拜祖先与神明；自己平时穿粗劣的衣裳，而在祭祀时穿戴华服礼帽；自己住小房子，却尽力开通水道沟渠。像夏禹这样的人，我实在找不到可以指责的漏洞了。"

    • 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."
