In this chapter, Confucius and Master Zeng are talking about the crimes that are addressed by the Five Punishments, none of of which is graver than to be wanting in family reverence. According to Confucius, “To coerce one’s lord is tantamount to repudiating the institution of rulership; to denounce the sage is tantamount to repudiating law (fa) itself; to denounce family reverence is tantamount to repudiating parenthood altogether.” Such offenses, he says, lead the dao to mayhem and anarchy.
