国君召孔子去接待宾客,孔子脸色立即庄重起来,脚步也快起来,他向和他站在一起的人作揖,手向左或向右作揖,衣服前后摆动,却整齐不乱。快步走的时候,像鸟儿展开双翅一样。宾客走后,必定向君主回报说:“客人已经不回头张望了。”

10·4入公门,鞠躬如也,如不容。立不中门,行不履阈。过位,色勃如也,足躩如也,其言似不足者。摄齐升堂,鞠躬如也,屏气似不息者。出,降一等,逞颜色,怡怡如也。没阶,趋进,翼如也。复其位,踧踖如也。
孔子走进朝廷的大门,谨慎而恭敬的样子,好像没有他的容身之地。站,他不站在门的中间;走,也不踩门坎。经过国君的座位时,他脸色立刻庄重起来,脚步也加快起来,说话也好像中气不足一样。提起衣服下摆向堂上走的时候,恭敬谨慎的样子,憋住气好像不呼吸一样。退出来,走下台阶,脸色便舒展开了,怡然自得的样子。走完了台阶,快快地向前走几步,姿态像鸟儿展翅一样。回到自己的位置,是恭敬而不安的样子。
