例句

“桀紂爲高臺深池以盡民力，爲炮烙以傷民性，桀紂得成四行者，南面之威爲之翼也。使桀紂爲匹夫，未始行一，而身在刑戮矣。”

Thus, Jie and Zhou built high terraces and deep pools to exhaust people's strength and made roasting pillars to injure people's lives. Jie and Zhou could abuse their position and give themselves over to all the four vices because the south-facing authority served as their wings. Were Jie and Zhou commoners, then before they as yet committed a single vice, their bodies would have suffered the death penalty.
