雍也第六 · chapter 22齐一变至于鲁

子曰:齊一變,至於魯;魯一變,至於道。
Source text and commentary from Zhu Xi, Lunyu jizhu (Sibu beiyao printing).

What this chapter says

一孔按:强弱看的是眼前,离道远近看的是风俗底子;鲁只要把荒废的修起来,齐得先改掉图功利的习气。今例:门口喇叭喊打折排长队,对面老店不吆喝、称秤一两不少。常有人问“齐强鲁弱,为什么是齐要追鲁”,上面是一孔录的回答。

白Plain Chinese

孔子说:齐国一经变革,可以达到鲁国这样;鲁国一经变革,就可以合于先王之道了。

A plain modern-Chinese rendering following Yikonglu's reading.

齐强鲁弱,为什么是齐要追鲁?

注Key words in the commentary

“道,则先王之道也。言二国之政俗有美恶,故其变而之道有难易。”

说What other commentators say

朱注“齐俗急功利,喜夸诈,乃霸政之余习。鲁则重礼教,崇信义,犹有先王之遗风”;程子“鲁犹存周公之法制……齐由桓公之霸,为从简尚功之治”;愚谓“惟夫子为能变之而不得试”。

钱穆《论语新解》samefairly sure同由齐尚功利夸诈、鲁尚礼信之俗辨变道难易,齐须先至鲁而鲁修废可至道;均不是依强弱论国之优劣。
