"The five colours cause one's eyes to be blinded. The five tones cause one's ears to be deafened. The five flavours cause one's palette to be cloyed. Racing about on horseback and hunting cause one's mind to be maddened. Hard to obtain merchandise causes mankind to do wrong, So the Sage concerns himself with the abdomen and not the eyes. Therefore, he rejects the one and chooses the other."
