The Duke Jing of Qi had a thousand teams, each of four horses, but on the day of his death, the people did not praise him for a single virtue. Bo Yi and Shu Qi died of hunger at the foot of the Shou Yang mountain, and the people, down to the present time, praise them.
齐景公有马千驷,死之日,民无德而称焉。伯夷叔齐饿于首阳之下,民到于今称之。
