望之溫潤，近之栗理，聲近徐而聞遠，折而不撓，闕而不荏，廉而不劌，有瑕必示之於外，是以貴之。
望之溫潤者，君子比德焉；近之栗理者，君子比智焉；聲近徐而聞遠者，君子比義焉；折而不撓，闕而不荏者，君子比勇焉；廉而不劌者，君子比仁焉；有瑕必見之於外者，君子比情焉。
A man of quality prizes them.
略說 is as follows: 子張曰：「仁者何樂於山也？
」孔子曰：「夫山者，𡷞然高。
When one’s gaze falls upon jade, it appears soft and translucent; when one draws near to it, tightly clustered veins appear in it; the sound it emits is mild when one is close yet can be heard at a distance; it can be broken but cannot be warped and can be damaged but cannot be weakened; its angles are distinct but do no injury to people; and, when it has blemishes, these are always visible from the outside.
」「𡷞然高，則何樂焉？
」「夫山，草木生焉，鳥獸蕃焉，生財用而無私為焉，四方皆代焉，每無私予焉。
That is why jade is prized.
出雲風以通乎天地之間。
陰陽和合，雨露之澤，萬物以成，百姓以饗：此仁者之所以樂於山者也。」
Its soft and translucent appearance suggests kingly beneficence to a man of quality; the tightly clustered veins that appear in it upon close inspection suggest wisdom to a man of quality; that its sound is mild when close but still audible at a distance suggests the faculty of righteous action to a man of quality; that it can be broken but not warped and damaged but not weakened suggests courage to a man of quality; that its angles are clear but inflict no injury suggests the faculty of empathy to a man of quality; and that its blemishes are always visible from the outside suggests frankness to a man of quality.
