From Chunqiu·Zuo Qiuming's "Zuo Zhuan." "Yin Gong Year"

Excerpts from the original text:

Ji Zhong said: "If the capital exceeds a hundred pheasants, it will harm the country. Most of the systems of the previous kings were no more than one of the participating countries; in the middle, one of the five "Xiao, one of nine. If the capital is not controlled, the king will not be able to do it." The public said: "How can you prevent Jiang from doing it?" He said to him, "Why don't you hate it?" So, if you don't let the vine grow, it's hard to get rid of it. How about your beloved brother? "You will be punished if you do too much unrighteousness."?

Vernacular interpretation:

The official Ji Zhong said: "If the enfeoffed capital exceeds three hundred square feet, it will be a disaster for the country. The system of the former king stipulates that the largest city in the country cannot exceed three hundred square feet of the capital. One-fifth of it, the medium one cannot exceed one-fifth, and the small one cannot exceed one-ninth. Now, the city walls of Jingyi are not in compliance with the regulations. This is not the system of the previous kings. If this continues, you will not be able to control it. "

Zhuang Gong said: "Jiang wants to do this, how can I avoid this disaster?" Ji Zhong replied: "Jiang is never satisfied! It's better to deal with it as soon as possible. The root of evil grows and spreads. Once it grows and spreads, it will be difficult to eradicate it, let alone your beloved brother. Just wait and see."?Extended information
