孔子愀然曰：	Confucius with an air of sadness said,
「請問何謂真？」	'Allow me to ask what it is that you call my proper Truth.'
客曰：	The stranger replied,
「真者，精誠之至也。	'A man's proper Truth is pure sincerity in its highest degree
不精不誠，不能動人。	- without this pure sincerity one cannot move others.
故強哭者雖悲不哀，	Hence if one (only) forces himself to wail, however sadly he may do so, it is not (real) sorrow;
強怒者雖嚴不威，	if he forces himself to be angry, however he may seem to be severe, he excites no awe;
強親者雖笑不和。	if he forces himself to show affection, however he may smile, he awakens no harmonious reciprocation.
真悲無聲而哀，	True grief, without a sound, is yet sorrowful;
真怒未發而威，	true anger, without any demonstration, yet awakens awe;
真親未笑而和。	true affection, without a smile, yet produces a harmonious reciprocation.
真在內者，	Given this truth within,
神動於外，	it exercises a spiritual efficacy without,
是所以貴真也。	and this is why we count it so valuable.
其用於人理也，	In our relations with others, it appears according to the requirements of each case:
事親則慈孝，	in the service of parents, as gentle, filial duty;
事君則忠貞，	in the service of rulers, as loyalty and integrity;
飲酒則歡樂，	in festive drinking, as pleasant enjoyment;
處喪則悲哀。	in the performance of the mourning rites, as sadness and sorrow.
忠貞以功為主，	In loyalty and integrity, good service is the principal thing;
飲酒以樂為主，	in festive drinking, the enjoyment;
處喪以哀為主，	in the mourning rites, the sorrow;
事親以適為主，	in the service of parents, the giving them pleasure.
功成之美，	The beauty of the service rendered (to a ruler)
無一其跡矣。	does not require that it always be performed in one way;
事親以適，	the service of parents so as to give them pleasure
不論所以矣；	takes no account of how it is done;
飲酒以樂，	the festive drinking which ministers enjoyment
不選其具矣；	does not depend on the appliances for it;
處喪以哀，	the observance of the mourning rites with the proper sorrow
無問其禮矣。	asks no questions about the rites themselves.
禮者，世俗之所為也；	Rites are prescribed for the practice of the common people;
真者，所以受於天也，	man's proper Truth is what he has received from Heaven,
自然不可易也。	operating spontaneously, and unchangeable.
故聖人法天貴真，	Therefore the sages take their law from Heaven, and prize their (proper) Truth,
不拘於俗。	without submitting to the restrictions of custom.
愚者反此，	The stupid do the reverse of this.
不能法天而恤於人，	They are unable to take their law from Heaven, and are influenced by other men;
不知貴真，	they do not know how to prize the proper Truth (of their nature),
祿祿而受變於俗，	but are under the dominion of ordinary things, and change according to the customs (around them):
故不足。	always, consequently, incomplete.
惜哉！	Alas for you,
子之早湛於人偽，	Sir, that you were early steeped in the hypocrisies of men,
而晚聞大道也！」	and have been so late in hearing about the Great Way!'
