5.21

盛以為。夫美惡之名。生乎美惡之實。道德淳美則有善名。頑嚚聾昧則有惡聲。故易曰。惡不積不足以滅身。又曰。美在其中。暢於四支而發於事業。又曰。韶盡美矣。未盡善也。

I, Sheng, hold that the names of beauty and ugliness arise from the realities of beauty and ugliness. When virtue and the Way are pure and beautiful, there is the reputation of goodness; when one is stubborn, obtuse, deaf, and blind, there is the notoriety of evil. Therefore the Changes says: 'If evil is not accumulated, it is insufficient to destroy the self.' It also says: 'Beauty resides within, spreads through the four limbs, and manifests in affairs.' It also says: 'The Shao music is completely beautiful, yet not completely good.'
