There is a tradition that T`ang I-jo [once] knocked at Confucius'
gate and said, "Is Ch`iu at home? Is Ch`iu at home?"

Tzŭ-kung answered, "The superior man honors the worthy and
bears with all. He praises the good and pities the incompetent.[2]
His affection for his family extends to outsiders. What he does
not want done to himself, he does not do to others.[3] Why do you
use my teacher's given name?"

T`ang I-jo said, "Why do you who are so immature speak
rudely?"[4] (?)

Tzŭ-kung said, "If a large chariot is not made tight,[4] it will
not be equal to its function. If [the strings of] a lute or cither
are not pulled tight,[4] they will not produce any music. Your
words were rude,[4] so I responded with rudeness."[4]

T`ang I-jo said, "At first I had the strength of a wild goose,
but now I simply flap my wings in vain."

Tzŭ-kung said, "Without the strength of a wild goose, how
can[5] you lift your wings?"

The Ode says,[6]

As from the knife and the file,
As from the chisel and the polisher.

This exchange of pleasantries is probably intended as a specimen of Wei-yen [OMITTED]
"insinuations," for which cf. Shih chi 46.9b-10b (Mém. hist. 5.246-9).

[OMITTED]. In Tzŭ-kung's answer there is a pun on [OMITTED] "abrupt, rude," and [OMITTED] "bind,
wrap"; cf. Analects 208 (8/2.1): [OMITTED] "straightforwardness, without li,
becomes rudeness." These same lines occur in the exchange between Tsou chi and
Ch`un-yü K`un in Shih chi, loc. cit.
