CHAPTER VIII Han shih wai chuan | ||
26[1]
Tsêng-tzŭ had committed a fault.[2]
[His father,] Tsêng Hsi
beat him with a stick until he fell to the ground. After a while
he revived and getting up, said, "I hope, sir,[3]
you have not injured
yourself."[4]
The people of Lu, esteeming Tsêng-tzŭ as a sage for this act,
reported the matter to Confucius, who said to his disciples, "If
Ts`an comes, [do not let him in." Tsêng-tzŭ felt himself innocent
of any wrong and sent a man to make his excuses to the Master,
who said,][5]
"Have you not heard how of old Shun played the part
it was with a large stick, he ran away. If [his father] looked
for him, having something for him to do, he was always at his side.
But if he looked for him with the intention of killing him, he was
never to be found. Now you gave yourself up and stayed [to suffer
the consequences of] his violent anger, standing with folded hands
without running away. Are you not a subject of the king? What
kind of crime is this [—causing one of the king's subjects to be
killed?]"[6]
The Ode says,[7]
Another says,[9]
Without any impatience he delivers his instructions.
SY 3.5a-b seems to be a free retelling of this paragraph, possibly from another
source, as Chia-yü 4.5a-6a is close to SY. HSWC appears to be defective; see notes
5 and 6 below.
I. e., in administering the beating. SY, Chia-yü: [OMITTED] "Did
vou sustain any injury in forcibly instructing me?"
CHy adds [OMITTED] from SY. Chou
also thinks the text is defective here. However, it reads satisfactorily without the
addition. [OMITTED] is usual in direct address.
[OMITTED]. Mao shih has [OMITTED] for [OMITTED]. My translation is made to agree with the HSWC context, and will not fit into the stanza from which it is taken. [OMITTED] as [OMITTED] "arrive" is an attested use in the Shih, and Legge's "How joyous, how happy,/Is their coming here" is unobjectionable.
