A Person Who Leads a Moral and Righteous Life Commands Respect Even If He Is a Humble Peddler
符合道義就應當受到尊重，即便他是小商販。猶言在道義面前人人平等?！暗懒x”即道德、正義；“負販”即挑著擔子做買賣的小商販。人是否可尊敬，不應以身份地位論，而應以內在品格論，即以道義為根本依據——言行符合道義則可尊敬，言行不合道義則不可尊敬。此言生動展現了中華民族崇尚道義的精神。
This concept is tantamount to saying that everyone is equal before morality and righteousness. The term fufan (負販) refers to a small trader who carries a toting pole to do business. Whether a person commands respect or not should not be based on status, but on intrinsic character, i.e., morality and righteousness. Those whose words and deeds are moral and righteous command respect. Otherwise, they do not. This concept vividly demonstrates the spirit of the Chinese people who advocate morality and righteousness.

◎天下無生而貴者。是故道義可尊，無擇負販。（杜佑《通典·選舉四·雜議論上》）
天下沒有生下來就尊貴的人。所以，符合道義就應當受到尊重，即便他是小商販。
There is no one under heaven who is born with honor. Therefore, one commands respect so long as he leads a moral and righteous life, even if he is a humble peddler. (Du You: An Encyclopedic History of Institutions)
