10[1]

Traditionally, in a time of Great Peace there are no persons
dumb, deaf, lame, one-eyed, feeble, dwarfed, or mutilated.[2] Fathers
do not [have reason to] weep for their sons, nor elder brothers to
weep for their younger brothers. On the roads there are no infants
abandoned to be reared [by others]; and everyone ends his life in
his own station—such is the result of the employment of a sage-physician.
Truly there is no other way of pacifying, putting in
order, and expelling disease than precisely that of employing the
sages. The Ode says,[3]

There are blind men, there are blind men,[4]
In the court of Chou.
These were the people who survived the cruelties of [the tyrant]
Chou.

D correctly makes this part of sec. 9; the number sequence of the Ode quoted should
be 276-280. The introduction of No. 254 from Paragraph 9 spoils the sequence.

[2]

Cf. Li Ki 1.319: [OMITTED] "The dumb,
the deaf, the lame, such as had lost a member, pigmies, and mechanics, were all fed
according to what work they were able to do." (Legge 1.244.) Chou equates [OMITTED]
and [OMITTED], as meaning "those with a limb amputated" [OMITTED], and so in the
translation, but Chao (79-80) makes [OMITTED] in the sense of "short," so the compound
for him would mean "stunted."

[3]

Shih 587 No. 280.

[4]

[OMITTED]: Legge has "blind musicians," as of course they were.
