2.222

The guest said: "In extending blessings, nothing surpasses continuing the lineage; in unfilial behavior, nothing surpasses having no descendants. (['Nothing surpasses':] 'no' means none. For one who wishes to prolong blessings, nothing can exceed carrying on the subsequent lineage. For one who would avoid being called unfilial, nothing exceeds not cutting off one's subsequent lineage.)
