Original text:
Si Qi Da Ren, the mother of King Wen, Simei Zhou Jiang, the wife of the imperial family. The eldest sister, Huiyin, is Bai Sinan.
To be of benefit to the Duke, the gods will always be resentful, and the gods will always be intimidated. Punish the widow and punish the brothers to protect the family and the country.
Yong Yong is in the palace, Su Su is in the temple. Even if it does not appear, it will come; if it does not shoot, it will still be safe.
An army that is diseased will not perish, and a strong falsehood will not be flawed. If you don’t hear it, you will follow it; if you don’t admonish it, you will enter it.
Every adult is virtuous, and a boy is talented. The ancient people were incompetent, but they were praised as fashionable scholars.
Chapter 2 and six sentences contain two levels of meaning. The first three sentences follow the above, King Wen pays filial piety to his ancestors, so the ancestors and gods bless King Wen without complaint or pain. In the last three sentences, the king sets an example to his wife, so that his wife will be transformed by virtue like himself; then he sets an example to his brothers, so that his brothers will also be transformed by virtue; and finally he extends it to his family and state. These three sentences have the meaning of "cultivating one's moral character, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world".
Xue Xuan said: "The poem "Siqi" is full of ways to cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world." (See "Collection of Legends") Indeed, it reflects the importance of traditional morality in The perfect embodiment of King Wen.
