子曰,藏文仲,居蔡,山节藻棁,何如其知也。

孔子说:臧文仲为一只大龟盖了房子,柱头刻成山的形状,梁上短柱画着水草花纹,他这样做算什么明智呢?
James Legge Translation
The Master said, "Tsang Wan kept a large tortoise in a house, on the capitals of the pillars of which he had hills made, and with representations of duckweed on the small pillars above the beams supporting the rafters.—Of what sort was his wisdom?"
