CHAP. I. 1. Confucius, in his village, looked simple and

sincere, and as if he were not able to speak.

2. When he was in the prince's ancestorial temple, or in

the court, he spoke minutely on every point, but cautiously.

CHAP II. 1. When he was waiting at court, in speaking

with the great officers of the lower grade, he spake freely, but

in a straightforward manner; in speaking with those of the

higher grade, he did so blandly, but precisely.

respectful uneasiness; it was grave, but self-possessed.

CHAP. III. 1. When the prince called him to employ him

in the reception of a visitor, his countenance appeared to

he stood, moving his left or right arm, as their position

required, but keeping the skirts of his robe before and behind

evenly adjusted.

bird.

to bend his body, as if it were not sufficient to admit him.

2. When he was standing, he did not occupy the middle of

the gate-way; when he passed in or out, he did not tread upon

the threshold.

3. When he was passing the vacant place of the prince,

his countenance appeared to change, and his legs to bend under

him, and his words came as if he hardly had breath to utter

them.

with both his hands, and his body bent; holding in his breath

also, as if he dared not breathe.

5. When he came out from the audience, as soon as he

had descended one step, he began to relax his countenance, and

had a satisfied look. When he had got to the bottom of the

steps, he advanced rapidly to his place, with his arms like

wings, and on occupying it, his manner still showed respectful

uneasiness.

CHAP. V. 1. When he was carrying the scepter of his

ruler, he seemed to bend his body, as if he were not able to
