68 曲礼上:
国君抚式,大夫下之。大夫抚式,士下之。礼不下庶人,刑不上大夫。刑人不在君侧。
Qu Li I:
Where the ruler of a state lays hold of the cross-bar, and bends forward to it, a great officer will descend from his carriage. Where a great officer lays bold of the bar and bends forward, another officer will descend. The rules of ceremony do not go down to the common people. The penal statutes do not go up to great officers. Men who have suffered punishment should not (be allowed to) be by the side of the ruler.
