The Book of Poetry says: ‘The king to build his sacred tower began, Of all its plan a scheme he drew. To do the work, in crowds the people ran, And as by magic, lo! it grew. Be not in haste! —So kindly said the king, But all as to a father help would bring.

It is said in the Book of Poetry, "He measured out and commenced his marvellous tower;He measured it out and planned it.The people addressed themselves to it, And in less than a day completed it.When he measured and began it, he said to them—Be not so earnest:But the multitudes came as if they had been his children.

The poem says, The Magic Tower was laid out and begun: At laying it out and building it The common people toiled, And in few days it was done. None was pressed to lay it out, or begin it,

He planned it well and managed it well, and the people worked with devotion,He planned it well and managed it well, and the people worked with devotion,He planned it well and managed it well, and the people worked with devotion, so it was in less than a day.He planned and began without haste, and the people were children coming.

The Ode says ( of Wǎn Wang ) he planned an elegant pleasure house. Having formed the plan, the people in no time finished it. When they began, he told them not to be in haste ; but the people flocked to it like children serving their parents.
