昔者管仲相齊桓，霸諸侯，有九合一匡之功，而仲尼謂之不知禮，以其奢泰侈擬於君故也。 In ages past, Guan Zhong served as chief minister to Duke Huan of Qi, achieved hegemony over the feudal lords, and accomplished the feat of nine alliances and the restoration of order. Yet Confucius said Guan Zhong did not understand ritual propriety, for his extravagance rivaled that of his sovereign.
