| 8 | 兼愛下: | 「且不唯《禹誓》為然雖《湯說》即亦猶是也。湯曰：『惟予小子履，敢用玄牡，告於上天后曰：「今天大旱，即當朕身履，未知得罪于上下，有善不敢蔽，有罪不敢赦，簡在帝心。萬方有罪，即當朕身，朕身有罪，無及萬方。」即此言湯貴為天子，富有天下，然且不憚以身為犧牲，以祠說于上帝鬼神。』即此湯兼也。雖子墨子之所謂兼者，於湯取法焉。 |
| Universal Love III: | Again it is true not only in the "Oath of Yu" but also with the "Oath of Tang." Tang said: "Unworthy Lu presumed to do sacrifice with a first-born male animal to Heaven on high and mother Earth, saying, 'Now there is a great drought from heaven. It happens right in my, Lu's, time. I do not know whether I have wronged Heaven or men. Good, I dare not cover up; guilt, I dare not let go -- this is clearly seen in the mind of God. If there is sin anywhere hold me responsible for it; if I myself am guilty may the rest be spared.'" This is to say that though having the honour of being an emperor and the wealth of possessing the whole world, Tang did not shrink from offering himself as sacrifice to implore God and the spirits. This is universal love on the part of Tang, and what Mozi has been talking about is really derived from the example of Tang. |

| 2 | 殷帝成湯: | 《帝王世紀》曰：成湯，一名帝乙。豐下兌上，指有胼，倨身而揚聲。長九尺，臂四肘，有聖德。諸侯有不義者，湯從而征之，誅其君，吊其民，天下咸服。故東征則西夷怨，南征則北狄怨，曰：「奚為而後我。」故仲虺誥曰：「徯我后，后來其蘇也。」凡二十七征，而德施於諸侯焉。及夏桀無道，湯使人哭之。桀囚湯於夏臺，而後釋之。諸侯由是咸叛桀附湯，同日貢職者五百國，三年而天下悉服。湯自伐桀後，大旱七年。洛川竭，使人持三足鼎祝於山川，曰：「欲不節耶？使民疾耶？苞苴行耶？讒夫昌耶？宮室營耶？女謁行耶？何不雨之極也？」殷史卜曰：「當以人禱。」湯曰：「吾所為請雨者，民也。若必以人禱，吾請自當。」遂齋戒剪發斷爪以己為牲，禱於桑林之社。曰：「惟予小子，履敢用玄牡告于上天后土曰：萬方有罪，罪在朕躬；朕躬有罪，無及萬方。無以一人之不敏，使上帝鬼神傷民之命。」言未已，而大雨至，方數千里。 |
