折疑論 2.20

2.20

蓋小不容於大。而大不處乎小也。故萬斛之鼎。不可滿以盂水（盛五斗曰斛。鼎者兩耳三足。言盛萬斛之鼎。豈可一鉢盂之水而能滿之）。

It is because the small cannot contain the great, and the great does not dwell within the small. Therefore, a cauldron of ten thousand bushels cannot be filled with a bowl of water. (Containing five dou is called a bushel [hu]. A cauldron [ding] has two ears and three legs. This means that for a cauldron holding ten thousand bushels, how could a single almsbowl of water ever fill it?)
