There was a man of Cheng, who did not go into mourning on the death of his elder brother.
Hearing, however, that Zi-gao was about to become governor of the city,
he forthwith did so.
The people of Cheng said,
'The silkworm spins its cocoons, but the crab supplies the box for them;
the bee has its cap, but the cicada supplies the strings for it.
。」His elder brother died, but it was Zi-gao who made the mourning for him.'
