allow his joy to be affected by it. Confucius praised
him. Mencius said, “Yu, Ji, and Yan Hui agreed in
the principle of their conduct. Yu thought that if
any one in the kingdom were drowned, it was as if
he drowned him. Ji thought that if any one in the
kingdom suffered hunger, it was as if he famished
him. It was on this account that they were so earnest.
If Yu and Ji, and Yanzi, had exchanged places, each
would have done what the other did. Here now in
the same apartment with you are people fighting: —
you ought to part them. Though you part them with
your cap simply tied over your unbound hair, your
conduct will be allowable. If the fighting be only in
the village or neighbourhood, if you go to put an end
to it with your cap tied over your hair unbound, you
will be in error. Although you should shut your door
in such a case, your conduct would be allowable.”
