Her house [was] near graves[.] When Mengzi/Mencius [was] young, [he] joyfully played [and] became concerned with matters related [to] graves. Mother Meng said: "This [is] not the place where I [can] reside [and raise my] son." So [she] left[,] [for] a house next to the market. He (Mencius) joyfully played becoming merchants [concerned with] affairs of ostentatious trade. Mother Meng again said: "This [is] not the place where I [can] live [and raise] my son."

When Mencius was small, he liked to play out activities that are performed among the graves. Meng’s mother said: “This is not a place I make a son live.” So, they left and settled next to a market. He [then] liked to play out the boasting and peddling activities of merchants. Meng’s mother again said: “This is not a place for my son.” They again moved to live next to a school. He then liked to play arranging ritual artifacts and bowing when moving forward or backing away[5]. Meng’s mother said: “[This is] a place a son can live.” And so, they stayed.

When Mencius was young, he liked playing among the graves while imitating ‘the building of graves and the burying of the dead’ (墓間之事). His mother said, “This is not the residential area where I should live.” Then soon, they left and moved to a house near a market. He liked playing at selling goods like a merchant.
