The original text of The Book of Rites:

Thinking about goodness and seeking goodness is enough to make a fuss, but not enough to move the public. It is wise and far away, enough to move the public, not enough to turn the people. If a gentleman wants to turn people into customs, he must learn it.

Jade is not cut, not a tool; People don't learn or know. He is a citizen of the ancient king, and teaching is the first. "Saving Life" says: "Reading begins with learning", which is what it means!

Translation of The Book of Rites;

Foresight and looking for good people can win some good reputation, but it is not inspiring. If Corporal Lixian is close to those who are alienated from him, he can inspire the people, but he can't influence and educate them yet. If you want to influence and educate people and develop good manners and customs, you must go through school education.

Although jade is beautiful, it cannot be made into exquisite jade without carving; People who are gifted but don't study can't understand the supreme Tao. Therefore, the ancient kings took education as their primary task when building their country and ruling their people. "Shangshu" said: "A gentleman should always remember to take education as the foundation", that's what it means!
