2. The original presentation:
You are a gentleman and a scholar, but you are just a villain.
3. Explain in detail:
(1) Translation:
You should be a Confucian gentleman, not a Confucian villain.
(2) Extension:
Confucius warned his student Xia Zi: "A woman (you) is a gentleman's scholar, and she does nothing but a villain's scholar." This is Confucius' urging and encouragement to Xia Zi, and it is also an admonition to all Confucian disciples who have heard Taoism and Xiu De in the way of "poetic prosperity, courtesy and success".
"Gentleman" and "villain" were originally based on people's social status; A "gentleman" refers to a noble man, and a "villain" refers to an ordinary person with a low status. After Confucius established Confucianism, "gentleman" and "villain" were more used to refer to the level of virtue and personality; "Gentleman" refers to those who are relatively pure in virtue and noble in personality. "Villain" is used to compare with "Gentleman" and refers to those who are relatively inferior in virtue and improper in personality.
