《君子卷第十二 - The Junzi》 | English translation: Jeffrey S. Bullock [?] | Library Resources |
| 1 | 君子卷第... : | 或問：「君子言則成文，動則成德，何以也？」曰：「以其弸中而彪外也。般之揮斤，羿之激矢。君子不言，言必有中也；不行，行必有稱也。」 |
| The Junzi: |
Someone asked: When the junzi speaks, it becomes literature. When he acts, it becomes de. How does this happen? Yangzi said: It is because internally he is like a fully drawn bow and externally he is elegantly patterned like a tiger. He is like Gong Shuban wielding axes and Hou Yi shooting arrows. The junzi does not speak but that his speech hits the mark, does not act but that his act is in perfect balance. |
