王以上卿之礼飨管仲，管仲辞曰：“臣，贱有司也，有天子之二守国、高在。若节春秋来承王命，何以礼焉？陪臣敢辞。”王曰：“舅氏，余嘉乃勋，应乃懿德，谓督不忘。往践乃职，无逆朕命。”管仲受下卿之礼而还。君子曰：“管氏之世祀也宜哉！让不忘其上。《诗》曰：‘恺悌君子，神所劳矣。’”
The king presented Guan Zhong with the courtesy of the minister, and Guan Zhong said: "My humble servant has a minister, and there are two emperors who guard the country and are high. If I come to accept the king's orders during the Spring and Autumn Festival, why should I be polite? I dare to resign." The king said: "My uncle, Yu Jia is an honorary figure. It should be a virtue, and it means that the governor will not forget it. It is your duty to do it, and you will not go against my order." Guan Zhong accepted the gift from the minister and returned it. The gentleman said: "It is appropriate to worship the Guan family in this world! Don't forget it. "Poetry" said: 'Kai Ti, gentleman, God has worked hard.'"
周襄王以上卿的礼节设宴招待管仲。管仲辞谢说：“陪臣是低贱的官员。现在有天子所任命的国氏、高氏在那里，如果他们按春秋两季接受天子的命令，又用什么礼节来待他们呢？陪臣谨请辞谢。”天子说：“舅父，我赞美你的功勋，接受你的美德，这可以说是深厚而不能忘记的。去执行你的职务吧，不要违抗我的命令！”管仲最终还是接受了下卿的礼节而回国。君子说：“管氏世世代代受到祭祀是多么恰当啊！谦让而不忘记爵位比他高的上卿。《诗》说：‘和蔼平易的君子，就是神明所保佑的了。’”
King Xiang of Zhou hosted a banquet in honor of Guan Zhong with the etiquette of a superior minister. Guan Zhong declined and said: "Accompanying ministers are low-level officials. Now there are the Guo clan and Gao clan appointed by the emperor. If they accept the emperor's orders according to spring and autumn, what etiquette should be used to treat them? Accompanying ministers, please excuse me." Zi said: "Uncle, I praise your merits and accept your virtues, which can be said to be profound and cannot be forgotten. Go and perform your duties and don't disobey my orders!" Guan Zhong finally accepted the courtesy of his subordinates and returned home. The gentleman said: "How appropriate it is that the Guan family has been sacrificed for generations! He is humble and does not forget the minister who has a higher title than him. "Poetry" says: 'A gentleman who is kind and easy-going is the one blessed by the gods.'"
