【原文】君明、相信、五官肃、士廉、农愚、商工愿、则上下体而外内别也，民性因而三族制也。《君臣上》

【汉解】君主英明，辅相诚信，五官严肃，士人廉直，农民愚朴，商人与工匠谨厚，那么，上下就有一定的体统，内外有一定的分别；人民生活有依靠。而农、商、工三类人也都有所管理了。

【英译】When the brilliant of the prince is fully trusted, the officers are stern, the gentry above corruption, the peasants simple, and the merchants and artisans honest, the sovereign and his subjects will be as one, and the sexes will be kept separate. The people will have a basis for their existence, and the three generations will all observe the regulations.
