The Architecture of Civilization: A Sage-King’s Majestic Deeds and Glorious Laws

Confucius praised Yao: majestic in his accomplishments, glorious in the regulations he established.

How majestic was he in the works which he accomplished! How glorious in the elegant regulations which he instituted!

巍巍乎!其有成功也;焕乎,其有文章!
