| The Yellow Emperor's Four Canons, 3: The Upright King（黄帝四经3 : 君正） |
By Anonymous Author 2008-02-16
An upright king running a newly-annexed state follows the local customs in the first year, and in the second year selects local people with virtue to fill official positions. In the third year, people reap the benefits from his reign and get plenty. In the forth year the king begins to issue decrees, and to govern with law in the fifth year. In the sixth year, people begin to show awe and deference. And in the seventh year, it is safe to go to battles against an enemy.

By Anonymous Author 2008-02-14
A state without law and order would be out of joint． Whoever steals openly will be disgraced by Heaven; Whoever steal secretly will lay waste to the land; Whoever overuse the land will be punished by natural calamities; Whoever abuses power will be exiled by the people; Whoever forms factions will suffer troubles from both inside and outside.
