Zi Gong asked, why did Confucius call it "Wen"? "Confucius is sensitive and eager to learn, and he is not ashamed to ask questions. This is already called' Wen'.

Translation:

Zi Gong asked: Why is Kong Wen Zi called Wen by others?

Confucius said: I am smart and eager to learn, and I am not ashamed to ask people who are not as good as myself, so I respect it as' Wen'.

Text: Your respectful name. Like later, someone died and sealed posthumous title.

The significance lies not only in affirming the reasons for Confucius' achievements, but also in using the topic to educate his disciples to be diligent and eager to learn and humbly ask for advice.
