Modern Chinese Guide

季氏要去祭祀泰山。孔子对冉有说：你不能劝阻他吗？冉有回答说：不能。孔子说：唉！难道说泰山之神还不如林放懂礼，会接受这种不合礼的祭祀吗？

James Legge Translation

The chief of the Chi family was about to sacrifice to the T'ai mountain. The Master said to Zan Yu, "Can you not save him from this?" He answered, "I cannot." Confucius said, "Alas! will you say that the T'ai mountain is not so discerning as Lin Fang?"
