八佾 / 21
哀公问社于宰我。宰我对曰，夏后氏以松，殷人以柏，周人以栗，曰，使民战栗。子闻之曰，成事不说，遂事不谏，既往不咎。
白话导读
鲁哀公向宰我请教做社主用什么木。宰我回答说：夏朝人用松木，殷朝人用柏木，周朝人用栗木，用栗木是要使百姓战战栗栗、心生敬畏。孔子听到后说：已经做成的事不便再解说，已经完成的事不便再劝阻，已经过去的事不必再责怪。
James Legge 英译
1. The Duke Ai asked Tsai Wo about the altars of the spirits of the land. Tsai Wo replied, "The Hsia sovereign planted the pine tree about them; the men of the Yin planted the cypress; and the men of the Chau planted the chestnut tree, meaning thereby to cause the people to be in awe." 2. When the Master heard it, he said, "Things that are done, it is needless to speak about; things that have had their course, it is needless to remonstrate about; things that are past, it is needless to blame."
