His teaching of filial piety is a tribute of reverence to all the fathers under heaven; his teaching of fraternal submission is a tribute of reverence to all the elder brothers under heaven; his teaching of the duty of a subject is a tribute of reverence to all the rulers under heaven.\n'It is said in the Book of Poetry 1,\n'If it were not a perfect virtue, how could it be recognised as in accordance with their nature by the people so extensively as this?'\n482:2 The K\u00fcn-\u021dze, or 'superior man,' here must be taken of the sovereign.
