Thousand Characters Classic [07] — 2012
Inscription
All plants and trees have received blessings,
and the blessings have spread to all people in the world.
The human body, hair and skin belong to the [four majors],
and every word and action must conform to the [five constants]
Do honor to your upbringing; how dare one inflict a wound!
Girls admire the chaste and pure; boys, the talented and good.
Aware of wrong, you must then change; mind the limits of your strength.
Refrain from talk of others' faults; don't rest upon your strengths.
Words must stand the test of proof; good deeds are hard to weigh.
Mozi wept that the silk was dyed; in the Poems the lamb was glorified.
