Tsze-chang / 18

曾子曰，吾闻诸夫子，孟庄子之孝也，其他可能也，其不改父之臣，与父之政，是难能也。

Modern Chinese Guide

曾子说：我听老师说过，孟庄子的孝顺，别的方面别人还可以做到，但他不更换父亲的旧臣、不改变父亲的政策，这一点是别人难以做到的。

James Legge Translation

The philosopher Tsang said, "I have heard this from our Master:—'The filial piety of Mang Chwang, in other matters, was what other men are competent to, but, as seen in his not changing the ministers of his father, nor his father's mode of government, it is difficult to be attained to.'"
