   The Master replied, "It is from good intention that your clan leader insists on these things, for diligence towards all things under Heaven is virtue. However, when he insists on this to excess- when he calls for water during a drought to clean his carriage instead of satiate the people's thirst, this is no longer right conduct (理) but prodigality. Master Kong (孔夫子) taught that when a leader loses the love of his people in such a way, it is right to overthrow him (Analects 11.17)."
   
   The Master replied, "The most beautiful things under Heaven are the Five Constant Virtues (五常). When you have taught these to your wife, as all husbands should do as one of the Three Fundamental Bonds (五倫), she will no longer plead with you to praise her many charms or seek out aberrant avenues for alluring you."
   
   The Master replied, "When a man grows too zealous to mingle his essence (合氣), he will compromise his standards of beauty and right conduct expected in a wife. When men continue to compromise, ugly and unvirtuous women grow haughty and puff themselves up, believing they deserve more than even Heaven would tolerate. It is only if men stand strong, willing even to embrace the life of a hermit for a time, that women will relearn their proper place under Heaven."
