Yang Ho / 18

子曰，恶紫之夺朱也，恶郑声之乱雅乐也，恶利口之覆邦家者。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：我憎恶用紫色顶替红色，憎恶用郑国的靡靡之音扰乱典雅的音乐，憎恶用伶牙俐齿颠覆国家的人。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "I hate the manner in which purple takes away the luster of vermilion. I hate the way in which the songs of Chang confound the music of the Ya. I hate those who with their sharp mouths overthrow kingdoms and families."
