《孔子家语·五仪解》
即便如此，我自幼生活在深宫之中，被妇人抚养长大，不知道何是悲哀，何是忧愁，何是劳苦，何是恐惧，何是危险，恐怕还不能推行人分五等的教化，这该怎么办呢？ 
虽然，寡人生于深宫之内，长于妇人之手，未尝知哀，未尝知忧，未尝知劳，未尝知惧，未尝知危，恐不足以行五仪之教，若何？ 
Nevertheless, I have lived in the deep palace since childhood, and have been brought up by women. I do not know what sorrow is, what grief is, what labor is, what fear is, nor what danger is. I fear that I am still not able to carry out the teachings that divide people into five classes. What should I do?
