To change horses while crossing the mainstream
Means to deprive men of trust to their superior.
Small chariots can be properly served
In small expeditions only.
The most important thing in governance
Is the people's trust to their sovereign.
In time of difficulties, it is good to glance
Into oneself and get rid of the load which
Is like a weight sat heavy on one's heart.
Though his mistakes are not as hard as stones,
They stone severely in his way of governing,
Making his life extremely grim and stern.
The weight cannot be easily taken off his mind --
Resistance of the serpentine rival is still obstinate.
