硝子細工、牽糸傀儡(南京操り)、古きを以て新しく田舎道者の目を悦ばしめ、鳥娘は名にて黒め、人魚は人を茶化すなり。子供角觝の取組は、河津股野の俤を映し、鶤鶏相撲の勝負には、魯の季桓子拳を握る。馬の立合い、狗の芸、仕込に慣れ教えに従う。これを思えば人並に人別帳には付きながら畜生に劣りたる無芸の

The bird maiden is famous in name only to deceive, and the mermaid is there to make fools of people. Children's wrestling matches reflect the image of Kawazu and Matano, and in cockfighting matches, Lu's Ji Huanzi clenches his fists. Horse competitions, dog tricks - trained through repetition and obedient to instruction. When one thinks of this, though listed in the population registry like any person, those without skills who are inferior to beasts...
