19. Shallowness is not enough for sounding, stupidity is not enough for wisdom; a turtle in a well is not enough for talking about the joy of the East China Sea. ----"Xunzi. "Truthful Theory"
20. The gentleman said: Learning cannot be stopped. Green is derived from blue, and green is from blue; ice is derived from water, and is cold from water. The wood is straight and the rope is in the middle. It is shaped like a wheel and its curves are regular. Although there is violence, those who no longer stand up are the ones who make it happen. Therefore, if wood is supported by a rope, it will be straight; if metal is sharpened, it will be beneficial; if a gentleman is knowledgeable and examines himself every day, he will know how to act without making mistakes. Therefore, if you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't go to a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is; if you don't listen to the last words of the past kings, you don't know how great knowledge is. The sons of Qian, Yue, Yi, and Raccoon were born with the same voice, grew up and had different customs, and they were taught to do so. If I think about it all day long, it is not as good as what I have learned in just a moment; if I stoop and look at it, it is not as good as climbing up to gain insights. When you climb high and move, your arms are not lengthened, but you can see far away; when you call along the wind, your sound is not faster, but you can hear it clearly. A fake horse can travel thousands of miles without benefiting from its feet; a fake boat can run a thousand miles without benefiting from the water. A gentleman's life is not different, he is good at things and fake things. ---- "Encouraging Learning"
21. The gentleman said: It is better to go than to use.
Green, take it from blue, the husband will be able to sound Qi when it is planted. Green is more blue than blue; Ice, it will sound Qi for you, but it will be used when it is cold. The wood is made into a small middle rope, and 輿 (the left word becomes "car", the original word has been abolished) is used as a wheel, and its music is in accordance with the rules. Although there is violence, those who are no longer able to stand up are the ones who want to compete with others. Therefore, the tree will become small if it is tied by the rope. When you find a child, you should look to the west and be diligent, so that the seeds will grow. A gentleman will know better than using his husband's voice to reflect on himself. Then he will know clearly. I have dealt with the issue of anger. Therefore, if you don’t climb the ground where it can produce sound and Qi, you don’t know that the land where it can produce sound and Qi can be used. If you don’t go to the deep stream, you don’t know how to see and use it in your heart. If you don’t hear Xian Liao Yongran’s last words, you don’t know where to go. It's much better than using a handle. Qian, Yue, Yi, and Raccoon use Ranzi. When the son is born, the son will have the same sound and temperament. Said: "To sigh and vent one's anger is to be a gentleman, and I will rest in peace with eternity. To calm down and vent one's anger is to be a master, so that the best is to become a small child. Just use it and listen to it, and to be harmonious and vent one's anger is Jingfu." Nothing is greater than transformation, and nothing is better than me in dealing with misfortunes. ---- "Advice to walk rather than use"
22. If there is good in the body, it will be good for oneself; if there is unkindness in the body, it will be bad for oneself. ----"Cultivation of the Self"
23. "The nature of human beings today is that they are born to love benefits and follow the way, so they fight for life and refuse to give in and perish; they are born to have diseases and evils, so follow the way. Therefore, the traitor is born with loyalty and trust gone; he is born with the desire of ears and eyes, good voice, and obedience; therefore, he is born with lewdness, with the loss of etiquette, justice, and ethics. If you violate the rules and regulations, you will end up being violent." ---- "Evil Nature"
24. When soil accumulates, wind and rain will flourish. But the gods are contented, and the holy heart is ready. ---- "Encouragement to Learn"
25. If you don't accumulate small steps, you will only end up with thousands of steps when you are born in the west; if you don't accumulate small streams, you will only end up in the great sea when you are born in the west.
26. When a country is going to prosper, it must value its teachers and respect them.
27. Human nature is evil, and the good ones are hypocritical.
28. In the heart, if you lie down, you will dream, if you steal, you will come from this day, and if you make your family recognize you, you will make plans.
29. The gentleman said: You can’t stop learning. Green is derived from blue, and green is from blue; ice is derived from water, and is cold from water. The wood is straight and the rope is in the middle. It is shaped like a wheel and its curves are regular. Although there is violence (pù), those who no longer stand up are the ones who make it happen. Therefore, if wood is supported by a rope, it will be straight; if metal is sharpened, it will be beneficial; if a gentleman is knowledgeable and examines himself every day, he will know how to act without making mistakes. Therefore, if you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't go to a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is; if you don't listen to the last words of the past kings, you don't know how great knowledge is. The sons of Qian, Yue, Yi, and Raccoon were born with the same voice, grew up and had different customs, and they were taught to do so. The poem says: "Sigh, gentlemen, there is no eternal rest. It is good for me to sit down and think about it all day long. It is not as good as what I have learned in just a moment. It is not as good as climbing high to see what I learned in a moment. When I stoop and look at it, it is not as good as climbing high to gain insights. Climb high." When you move, your arms are not lengthened, but you can see far away; when you shout with the wind, your sound is not accelerated, but when you hear it, it is loud. , and cut off the rivers. The nature of a gentleman is not different, he is good at pretending to things. ---- "Encouraging Learning"
