| 14 | 樂記: | 樂者，天地之和也；禮者，天地之序也。和故百物皆化；序故群物皆別。樂由天作，禮以地制。過制則亂，過作則暴。明於天地，然後能興禮樂也。 |
| Yue Ji: | Music is (an echo of) the harmony between heaven and earth; ceremonies reflect the orderly distinctions (in the operations of) heaven and earth. From that harmony all things receive their being; to those orderly distinctions they owe the differences between them. Music has its origin from heaven; ceremonies take their form from the appearances of earth. If the imitation of those appearances were carried to excess, confusion (of ceremonies) would appear; if the framing of music were carried to excess, it would be too vehement. Let there be an intelligent understanding of the nature and interaction of (heaven and earth), and there will be the ability to practise well both ceremonies and music. |

| 15 | 樂書: | 樂者，天地之和也；禮者，天地之序也。和，故百物皆化；序，故群物皆別。樂由天作，禮以地制。過制則亂，過作則暴。明於天地，然後能興禮樂也。論倫無患，樂之情也；欣喜驩愛，樂之（容）［官］也。中正無邪，禮之質也；莊敬恭順，禮之制也。若夫禮樂之施於金石，越於聲音，用於宗廟社稷，事于山川鬼神，則此所以與民同也。 |
