7
If a thing is approved by his prince but not approved by his
father, the filial son will not do it. If it is approved by his father
but not by his prince, the superior man likewise will not do it.
Thus it is not proper to do violence to either one's prince or one's
parents.[1]
The Ode says,[2]
O happy and courteous superior man,
You are a pattern to the four quarters.
You are a pattern to the four quarters.
