Xia Zi said: "erudite and determined, asking questions and thinking deeply, benevolence is among them." Xia Zi said, "I read widely and learn from others. I can stick to my ambition, ask questions seriously and think more about current events. Benevolence is among them."

Xia Zi said: "erudite and determined, seeking knowledge and thinking about its source: the Analects of Confucius and Zhang Zi."

Extended data:

Zi You, two students of Confucius, and Xia Zi had a heated argument about how to teach students. However, there is no fundamental difference between the two, but the education methods have their own ways.

Confucius did not generally object to extensive reading and rote memorization, because many contents of human knowledge need to be carefully memorized and constantly consolidated, and new knowledge should be accepted on the basis of the original knowledge. This point can also be used for reference in our education today.
