《礼记·仲尼燕居》
夔这个人只不过是在乐的方面的造诣比在礼的方面的造诣高一些罢了，所以只传下来一个精通音乐的名声，须知那是根据古人的标准来说的。 
夫夔，达于乐而不达于礼，是以传此名也，古之人也。 
Kui is just a little better at music than at etiquette, so he has only passed down a reputation for being proficient in music. It should be known that this is according to the standards of the ancients.
