3.163

the benevolence and worthiness of Zhongni could not stop the violence of Robber Zhi; (*Zhuangzi*: Robber Zhi was the younger brother of Liuxia Hui; unprincipled, cruel, and tyrannical, he rampaged through the world. Large states guarded their walls and small states retreated to fortresses. Confucius went to instruct him, and upon returning said to Liuxia Ji: 'I almost failed to escape the danger of a tiger's mouth.')
