12/礼之用和为贵

A disciple of confucius remarked

孔子的一位学生说

In the practice of art

what is valuable is natural spontaneity

艺术实践中的价格

是天然的自发性

According to the rules of art held by the ancient kings

it was this quality in a work of art which constituted its excellence

通过古代国王们持有的艺术法则来看

正是艺术品中所蕴含的这种特质

形成了他的卓越性

In great

as well as small things

they were guided by this princeple

无论是重大的

还是细小的事情

他们都被这种原则所引导着

But in the being natural there is something not permitted

但在自然而发时

也有一些东西是不被允许的

To know that

it is necessary to be natural without restraining the impulse to be natural by the strict principle of art

没有通过严格的艺术原则来抑制冲动的自然而发就是不被允许的

that is something not permitted

这个需要搞清楚
