《史记·三十世家·孔子世家》
要知道，名分不正，说出的话来就不顺当；说话不顺当，那么事情就办不成；事情办不成，那么礼乐教化就不能兴盛；乐教化不兴盛，那么刑罚不准确适度，那么老百姓就年足无措，不知怎么办才好。
夫名不正则言不顺，言不顺则事不成，事不成则礼乐不兴，礼乐不兴则刑罚不中，刑罚不中则民无所错手足矣。
You must know, if the name is not correct, the words spoken will not be smooth; if the words are not smooth, then the work cannot be done; if the work cannot be done, then the etiquette and education cannot flourish; if the music education does not flourish, then the punishment is not accurate and appropriate, then the people will be clueless and do not know what to do.
