Author: Confucius (孔夫子); translated by James Legge
Even at a meal of coarse rice, or herb broth, or gourds, he made his offering with all reverence.
鄉黨第十 Book X
1. 孔子於鄉黨,恂恂如也,似不能言者。其在宗廟朝廷,便便言,唯謹爾。
Among his own country folk Confucius wore a homely look, like one that has no word to say.
In the ancestral temple and at court his speech was full, but cautious.
