Pa Yih / 7

子曰，君子无所争，必也射乎，揖让而升，下而飮，其争也君子。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：君子没有什么可争的，如果一定要说有所争，那就是比射箭吧。比赛时相互作揖谦让，然后登堂；射完下来又互敬酒。这样的竞争才是君子式的竞争。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "The student of virtue has no contentions. If it be said he cannot avoid them, shall this be in archery? But he bows complaisantly to his competitors; thus he ascends the hall, descends, and exacts the forfeit of drinking. In his contention, he is still the Chun-tsze."
