4.352

In the Song dynasty, in the fourth month, on the gengxu day, the Emperor held court and said to his attendants, "Emperor Taizu asked Zhao Pu, 'What under heaven is the greatest?' Pu said, 'Principle (daoli) is the greatest.' I often recite and reflect upon these words thrice. The ancestors always inquired into principle in every matter; how could good governance not be achieved?" (Zhongxing shijian).
