Almost a thousand years have passed since the heyday of King Cheng and King Kang, and many rulers having tried to attain the same glory. But this golden era of peace and prosperity never returned. Why has this been so? It is because rulers have forsaken the law and moral standards, and have instead pursued selfish desires, spoiling themselves with extravagance, and totally neglecting the practice of benevolence and righteousness.

原文：自成康以來，幾且千歲，欲為治者甚眾，然而太平不復興者，何也？以其舍法度，而任私意，奢侈行而仁義廢也。
白話：自成康盛世以來，將近千年，想使天下大治的君王很多，然而太平盛世不復出現，這是為什麼呢？因為領導者捨棄了治國的常理常法，而放任自己個人的私欲行事，導致奢侈橫行而仁義廢弛。
