A person is born with desires of the eyes and ears, and a liking for beautiful sights and sounds. If he gives way to them, they will lead him to immorality and lack of restriction, and any ritual principles and propriety will be abandoned.

  • -- Xunzi 荀子

一个人生来就有眼睛和耳朵的欲望，喜欢美丽的风景和声音。如果他给他们让路，他们将导致他的不道德和缺乏约束，任何仪式的原则和礼仪将被抛弃。
