People who have heard of the ancient times are smooth and benevolent. The person who finds the reason for Shun blames himself: "There is another person; Here, people also. He can, but I can't! "Think early and think late, not as good as Shun.

Translation:

The ancient gentleman, he asked himself to be strict and thorough, and he asked others to be tolerant and simple. Strict and thorough, so don't slack off on moral cultivation; There are few people who are tolerant and simple, so people are willing to do good deeds.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a man named Shun. He was a kind man. Seeking the reason for being smooth, the gentleman asked himself, "He is a human being, and I am also a human being; He can do this, I can't! " I think about it in the morning and evening, get rid of those places that are not smooth and imitate those places that are smooth.
