路者、何謂也? 路、大也,道也,正也。君至尊,制度大,所以行道德之正也。 路 者、君串也。 天子大路,諸侯路車,大夫軒車,士飾車。 玉路、大路也極。 名車為輅者,書所以步之于路也。 車所以立乘者何? 制車以步,故立乘。串中不內顧何? 仰即觀天,俯即察地, 前聞 和鸞之聲,旁見四方之運,此車教之道。《論語》曰:"升車必正立執綏,車中不內顧。" 所以有和鸞者何? 以正威儀,節行舒疾也。 鸞者在衡,和者在軾,馬勳則鸞鳴,鸞嗚則和應。 其聲鳴曰和敬,舒則不鳴,疾則失音,明得其和也。故《詩》云:"和鸞雍雍,萬福攸同。" 《魯訓》曰:" 和、設軾者也。鸞、設衡者也。" 《禮記》曰:"天子乘龍,載大旎,象日月升體。"《傳》曰:"天子升龍,諸侯降龍窘。" |

The carriage has the ho and luan bells 5; the luan bells are on the cross-bar, the ho bells on the front-bar. The bells only sound har- moniously when one drives correctly (Shih; Lu hsün). The carriage of the Son of Heaven has the picture of an ascending dragon, that of a Feudal Lord the picture of a descending dragon (Li chi; Chuan). Notes1. 路, 大, 道, 正 . 2. . 3. . 4. . 5. 和, 鸞 . |
