《更法 - Reform of the Law》 | English translation: J. J. L. Duyvendak [?] | Books referencing 《更法》 Library Resources |
| 7 | 更法: | 杜挚曰：“臣闻之，利不百，不变法；功不十，不易器。臣闻法古无过，循礼无邪。君其图之。” |
| Reform of the Law: | Du Zhi said: "Unless the advantage be a hundredfold, one should not reform the law; unless the benefit be tenfold, one should not alter an instrument. I have heard it said that in taking antiquity as an example, one makes no mistakes, and in following established rites one commits no offence. Let Your Highness aim at that." |
