Lin Fang asked about the fundamental of the rites. “A significant question!” said the Master. “In ritual performance, it would be better to be thrift than lavish; in mourning service, it would be better to be deep in grief than minute in observance.”
A: 林放问礼之本。子曰:“大哉问!礼,与其奢也,宁俭;丧,与其易也,宁戚。”
B: 子曰:“饭疏食饮水,曲肱而枕之,乐亦在其中矣。不义而富且贵,于我如浮云。”
C: 子曰:“道千乘(shèng)之国,敬事而信,节用而爱人,使民以时。”
D: 子曰:“奢则不孙,俭则固。与其不孙也,宁固。”
