种谷匪种稗,稗实在谷先。
谓天不佑恶,细察似不然。

如果天命气运真是这样,那么周朝的衰微又何足谈论。

To say Heaven does not bless the wicked—a closer look seems to refute this claim.
The unicorn and phoenix are rarely seen in this world; snakes and tigers stir by the hundreds and thousands.
The two masters from Si River are the great sages for all eternity.
He who drank from a gourd died young; the other starved between Chen and Cai.
