| 23 | 禮運: | 何謂四靈？麟鳳龜龍，謂之四靈。故龍以為畜，故魚鮪不淰；鳳以為畜，故鳥不獝；麟以為畜，故獸不狘；龜以為畜，故人情不失。 |
| Li Yun: | What were the four intelligent creatures? They were the Qi-lin, the phoenix, the tortoise, and the dragon. When the dragon becomes a domestic animal, (all other) fishes and the sturgeon do not lie hidden from men (in the mud). When the phoenix becomes so, the birds do not fly from them in terror. When the Qi-lin does so, the beasts do not scamper away. When the tortoise does so, the feelings of men take no erroneous course. |

《禮記》曰：麟鳳龜龍，謂之四靈，四靈以為畜，則獸不狘。 又曰：聖王用民必順，使無水旱昆蟲之災，民無凶飢妖孽之疾，天不愛其道，地不愛其寶，人不愛其情，是以天降甘露，地出醴泉，山出器車。山出銀甕丹甑之器，及人象車也。河出馬圖，鳳皇麒麟，皆在郊藪，龜龍在宮沼，其餘鳥獸之卵胎，皆可俯而窺也。則是無故，先王能修禮以達義，體信以達順，此順之實也。 |
