天降生民，倥侗顓蒙，恣乎情性，聰明不開。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
天降生民，倥侗颛蒙，恣乎情性，聪明不开。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]- From: Yang Xiong, Fa Yan (Exemplary Sayings), 9 CE, translated based on Jeffrey S. Bullock's version
- Tiān jiàng shēng mín, kōngtóng zhuānméng, zì hū qíngxìng, cōngmíng bù kāi.
- When Tian gives birth to the masses, they are naive and ignorant. They give free reign to their desires and original natures, and their intelligence is undeveloped.
