颜渊问为邦，子曰：“行夏之时，乘殷之辂，服周之冕，乐则《韶》、《舞》，放郑声，远佞人。郑声淫，佞人殆。”
1Yen Yuan asked how the government of a country should be administered.
2The Master said, 'Follow the seasons of Hsia.
3'Ride in the state carriage of Yin.
4'Wear the ceremonial cap of Chau.
5'Let the music be the Shao with its pantomimes.
6Banish the songs of Chang, and keep far from specious talkers. The songs of Chang are licentious; specious talkers are dangerous.'
