殷湯改祝（史記。商湯出野。見張網四面。祝曰。自天下四方皆入吾網。湯曰嘻註嘻歎辭盡之矣。去其三面。諸侯聞之曰。湯德至矣。及其禽獸也）。

and Tang of Yin altering the prayer (The Shiji says: Tang of Shang went out into the countryside and saw nets spread on all four sides, with the prayer: 'From all under Heaven and the four directions, all enter my net.' Tang said, 'Alas!' The commentary notes: 'Alas' is an exclamation of grief: 'This would wipe them all out!' He removed three of its sides. When the feudal lords heard of this, they said: 'Tang's virtue is supreme; it reaches even to birds and beasts').
