Zizhang asked, “Is it possible to know ten generations hence?” Confucius replied, “The Shang dynasty built on the rites of the Xia dynasty. What was added and taken away can be known. The Zhou dynasty built on the rites of the Shang. What was added and taken away can be known. Whoever may succeed the Zhou, [their rites and culture,] even a hundred generations hence may be known.”

Zizhang asked, “How would you characterize a good and decent man by the path he follows?” Confucius answered, “This man is not slavish to a path others have trodden, but neither does his path lead to the inner recesses [of moral knowledge].”
