As a minister, he rested in reverence. As a son, he rested in filial piety. As a father, he rested in kindness. In communication with his subjects, he rested in good faith. Our elegant and accomplished prince never can be forgotten.
Future princes deem worthy what they deemed worthy, and love what they loved.
The common people delight in what delighted them, and are benefited by their beneficial arrangements. It is on this account that the former kings, after they have quitted the world, are not forgotten. What is necessary is to cause the people to have no litigations. This is called knowing the root. This is called the perfecting of knowledge.
