四分律行事鈔資持記 3.656

3.656

次科，初引文。禮人懸幡，俱非惡事，猶誡輕侮；良由對聖，更無所尊，故云敬處別也。蹈謂足踐。既下，申誡，初勉慎。至下，示法。履水臨深，喻其悚懼。（詩云：戰戰兢兢，如臨深淵，如履薄氷，今借用之。）此下，彰益。上句規他，下句感聖。且下，舉況。令長，即郡縣官典。凡下，勸依。任，信也。

In the next section, it first cites the text. Bowing to a person and hanging a banner are neither of them evil deeds, yet one is still admonished against slighting and disrespecting; this is truly because, facing the sage, there is nothing more venerable, hence it says 'the locus of reverence is distinct'. 'Stepping' (*dao*) means trampling with the feet. From 'since' onward expresses the admonition, first encouraging caution. From 'arriving' onward shows the method. Treading on water and approaching the deep are metaphors for fear and trembling. (The *Classic of Poetry* says: 'Apprehensive and careful, as if approaching a deep abyss, as if treading on thin ice'; here it is borrowed and applied.) From 'this' onward shows the benefit: the upper line corrects others, and the lower line moves the sages. From 'moreover' onward raises a comparison. Magistrates (*lingzhang*) are the bureaucratic officials of commanderies and counties. From 'in all' onward urges compliance. 'Entrust' (*ren*) means believe.
