三家者，以雍彻。子曰，相维辟公，天子穆穆，奚取于三家之堂。
Modern Chinese Guide
孟孙、叔孙、季孙三家在祭祀完毕撤除祭品时，唱着天子祭祀才用的《雍》这首诗。孔子说：诗里说“助祭的是四方诸侯，天子庄严肃穆地主祭”，这样的情景，怎么能用在三家的庙堂上呢？
James Legge Translation
The three families used the yung ode, while the vessels were being removed, at the conclusion of the sacrifice. The Master said, "'Assisting are the princes;—the son of heaven looks profound and grave:'—what application can these words have in the hall of the three families?"
