Three-Character Canon (III)

From his great-great-grandfather,
To his great-grandfather,
To his grandfather and father,
To himself and his son,

To his grandson and great-grandson,
And to his great-great-grandson:
Whoever is born into the world
Will face the nine-layer relation.

There should be affection between father and son,
As well as love between husband and wife.
Brothers should be kind to each other:
The elder's amiable, and the younger respectful.

A harmony should be maintained
Among families as well as friends.
Even the king should be cordial,
To whom the subjects can be loyal.

These are called the Ten Doctrines
That everyone in the world should follow.
To enlighten the school children,
Good methods must be taken.

The meaning must be correctly grasped,
And the syntax clear in mind.
A pupil must start his learning
From the very beginning.

After he has learned the basics,
He'd learn the Four Books (1) next.
The first book is Confucius' Analects,
Composed of twenty chapters,
Which were recorded by his disciples
And put together as living doctrines.

In which is highlighted moralities,
As well as benevolence and righteousness.
The third book is the Doctrine of the Mean,
Written by Zi Si, Confucius' grandson,
Who poses all midway,
In which the common truth exists.
Zeng Zi wrote the Great Learning,
From which one can achieve a great deal.

He demonstrated a way to self-improvement
From the individual life to the social affairs.
When one's mastered the Filial Scripture,
Together with the four books.
Zeng Zi, the courtesy title of Zeng Shen, one of Confucius' disciples.

The Six Confucian Scriptures
Can be for him a new start.
The Songs, the History, and the Changes,
And the Annals and the Rituals:
Are called the Six Confucian Scriptures,
Which are needed to be studied thoroughly.
There was Lianshan in the Xia Dynasty,
Which was called Guizang in the Shang,

And Zhouyi in the Zhou,
All refer to the Book of Changes.
With the records of the early sages' deeds,
And with the regulations and laws,
