Analysis of Wen Sixing's Works
This chapter once again shows a characteristic of Confucius' educational method, that is, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and giving different education after understanding each student's different qualities. This is one of the essences of educational thought, but it is easier said than done.
At the same time, through this chapter, Confucius taught students to retreat from difficulties and strive for progress. Everyone should reflect on themselves. Be brave if you retire, and be diligent if you are not diligent enough. If you are too bold and reckless, you should back off a little before you think everything over. If you are too diligent and have too little rest, you should pay attention to rest and hygiene.
