孔子曰；「文王似『元年』，武王似『春王』，周公似『正月』。
文王以王季為父，以太任為母，以大姒為妃，以武王、周公為子，以太顛、閎夭為臣：其本美矣。
「武王正其身以正其國，正其國以正天下，伐無道，刑其罪，一動而天下正：其事正矣。
「春致其時，萬物皆及生，君致其道，萬人皆及治，周公戴己，而天下順之：其誠至矣。」
Kongzi said, “King Wen is like ‘the king’s inaugural year’; King Wu is like ‘spring king’; and the Duke of Zhou is like ‘first month.’128 King Wen had Wang Ji as his father and Tai Ren as his mother.
