2 天子遣使... :
說曰:古者封土建侯,並為列國,是以周制朝宗聘覜之禮,協天下之事,以結諸侯之好。而非朝之歲,久無事焉,則聘。大行人職曰:「時聘以結諸侯之好,殷覜以除邦國之慝,時聘者無常期,天子有事,諸侯使大夫來聘,親以禮見之,禮而遣之,所以結其恩好也。天子無事則已。殷覜謂一服朝之歲也。慝,惡也。一服朝之歲,五服諸侯皆使卿以聘禮來見天子,天子以禮見之,命以政禁之事,所以除其惡行。覜,他弔反。。」此四者,王使臣於諸侯之禮。閒問者,閒歲一問諸侯,謂存省之屬也。諭諸侯之志者,諭言語、諭書名其類也。交,或往或來者。贊,助也。致禬,凶禮之弔禮、禬禮,補諸侯之穣也。若諸侯相聘之制,則「比年小聘,三年大聘。相勵以禮,則外不相侵,內不相凌,此天子所以養諸侯、兵不用而諸侯自為正之具也。以珪璋聘,重禮也。已聘而還珪璋,此輕財重禮之義也。諸侯相勵以輕財重禮,則人皆讓矣。」
