If you are wise to yourself, ask how to solve your doubts. The so-called Tao is right. Not as good as yourself, just ask how. The so-called can ask no, ask a few more. If you are equal to yourself, ask how to learn from each other. The so-called difficulty in cross-examination is also a matter of interrogation. Isn't the book a cloud? "Ask and answer." Mencius talked about "seeking peace of mind" and called it "the way of learning". After studying, there are questions. Zisi said that "respecting morality" boils down to "asking about learning through Taoism", asking first and then learning.
Ancient people enjoyed goodness in vain, asked without choosing anything, asked without choosing others and took it from themselves. It is the words of a madman, the choice of a saint, and the inquiry of an ancestor. Shun and the son of heaven discuss the husband, view your words with great knowledge, be neither humble nor supercilious, and take the goodness with sincerity. After three generations, friends are friends without asking. As for the rule of persuading the good, it is enough. It is urgent to consult each other with justice and reason, and it is also urgent to study hard. What happened?
It's self, not human beings, and the common customs are the same. If you can't learn, you will be strong (qi m￠ng). If you think you know, you will be uneasy, and you will think you are false (duo). If so, there is nothing to ask for in life. People who are virtuous to themselves are unwilling to ask questions, and those who are inferior to themselves are equal to those who are unwilling to ask questions. If so, there are few people in the world who don't ask questions. People are not convinced, there is nothing suspicious, and this is only for the teacher's own use. For personal use, the smallest one is also; Knowing its ugliness and protecting its loss, instead of feeling inferior, it is better to keep learning and making progress, which is harmful to the soul, and those who follow it are often nine times out of ten.
Otherwise, what you ask is not what you learned: ask the strange things in the world and tell them quickly; Even if the mind is clear, ask people to measure their abilities, and things are difficult to solve, ask people to be poor and short. Those who are wrong, although related to their physical and mental life, can collect the benefits of goodness and seek compromise without getting it. Ha ha! Why can't you learn from a few (j: and) the ancients?
And the husband is not easy to ask, and the heart can't be empty; If your heart is not empty, you will learn insincerely. Nor is it an enemy who does not concentrate his strength. His learning is not the learning of the ancients, nor is it the goodness of the ancients, so he can't ask for many blessings.
No one is always smart. What saints don't know, fools don't necessarily know; What a fool can do is not necessarily impossible for a saint. There is no major in truth, but there is no end to learning, but can you ask less? In The Book of Rites, the foreign court asked all the people, and Shu Ren was also asked about state affairs, so he could ask Lian, Xian, Widow and Old, which is exactly what Tao achieved. Confucius is not ashamed to ask questions. The ancients regarded asking questions as a virtue, but did not think it was shameful. It is a shame for later generations of gentlemen to argue without asking, but those who are deeply ashamed by the ancients, what later generations have done, are too much, and mourn for their husbands!
