22.22

Bugao lao 不告勞 [not pleading fatigue] (Meng Kang's commentary on the Han Poetry says: 'In ancient times, when an official took leave, it was called gao 告.' Furthermore, gao 告 means to complain, which is an expression of declining out of dread; hence the Shijing says: 'The king's affairs are pressing; I dare not plead fatigue,' which is this).
