These achieved unity in days of old:
Having achieved unity, heaven became clear.
Having achieved unity, earth became stable.
Having achieved unity, spirits became vibrant.
Having achieved unity, valleys became full.
Having achieved unity, the myriad things became alive.
Having achieved unity, the nobles set the realm right.
This is what they achieved thanks to unity.
If heaven had not become clear
it would likely split open.
If earth had not become stable
it would likely collapse.
If spirits had not become vibrant
they would likely cease to exist.
If valleys had not become full
they would likely become exhausted.
If the myriad things had not become alive
they would likely die.
If the nobles had not become esteemed
they would likely fall.
Thus the nobles have the commoners as their root.
And the high rank has the low rank as its base.
That is why "orphans", "lonely" and "worthless"
are the names kings and lords use for themselves.
Do they not have the commoners as their root?
Too much honor is no honor.
They don't wish to glitter like gemstones.
They prefer to rumble like rocks.
