子 张 问：“ 十 世 可 知 也？” 子 曰：“ 殷
因于夏礼，所损益，可知也 ; 周因于殷礼，
所损益，可知也 ; 其或继周者，虽百世可知也。”
Tsze-chang asked whether the affairs of ten
ages after could be known. Confucius said, “The
Yin dynasty followed the regulations of the Hsia:
— wherein it took from or added to them may
be known. The Chau dynasty has followed the
regulations of Yin: —wherein it took from or added
to them may be known. Some other may follow the
Chau, but though it should be at the distance of a
hundred ages, its affairs may be known. ”
【译文】子张问：“今后十代的情况可以预知
吗？”孔子说：“殷代沿袭夏代的礼仪制度，
增减之处可以知道；周代沿袭殷代的礼仪制
