Make a training note for Lao Tzu when you meet him. He is also good at Zuo Zhuan, especially Don't be Different. Some people learn from scholars and refuse to teach. The cloud says, "You must first; Read it a hundred times! " Say, "Read it a hundred times and you will understand what you mean."

From the "Scholars" cloud: "There is no day for bitter thirst." Encounter: "When' Sanduo'." Or ask "Sanduo" what he means when he says "winter is over, night is over and rain is over".

Vernacular translation:

Dong Yu studied Lao Zi very well and made comments. I also have a deep understanding of Chunqiu Zuozhuan. According to my research experience, I wrote the book "Zhu Mo Bieyi". A scholar wanted to learn from him, but he refused to teach him. He just said to others, "Read it a hundred times first." He added, "If you watch more, you will naturally understand the meaning."

The consultant said, "(You have a point), but I just don't have time." Dong Yu said: "It should take more than three minutes." Someone asked what "Sanyu" was. Dong Yu said: "In winter, there is not much farm work. This is the free time of the year; There is no need to work in the fields at night, which is a free time during the day; On rainy days, it is inconvenient to go out and do things, and it is also free time. "
