Tsze Han / 9

子见齐衰者,冕衣裳者,与瞽者,见之,虽少必作,过之必趋。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子看见穿丧服的人、穿戴礼帽礼服的人以及盲人,即使对方年少,也一定站起来;从他们面前经过时,一定快步走过以示敬意。

James Legge Translation

When the Master saw a person in a mourning dress, or any one with the cap and upper and lower garments of full dress, or a blind person, on observing them approaching, though they were younger than himself, he would rise up, and if he had to pass by them, he would do so hastily.
