Qi Jinggong called Zi Gong: "Who is the teacher?" He said, "I'm Zhong Ni." Gong said, "Is Zhong Nixian?" Right: "Xian." The duke said, "What is his virtue?" Right: "I don't know." Qi Huangong said, "I know his merits, but I don't know anything about it." Yes, he said, "the sky is high today, and all wise people know its height." High geometry? I don't know. I know the saint of Zhong Ni, but I don't know his ridicule. "

Qi Jinggong asked Zigong, "Who do you worship as a teacher?" Zi Gong replied, "I worship Confucius as my teacher." Qi Jinggong asked, "Is Confucius virtuous?" Zi Gong replied: "Germany." Qi Jinggong asked, "How is he virtuous?" Zi Gong replied, "I don't know." Qi Jinggong said, "You know Confucius is virtuous, but you don't know where he is virtuous. What's wrong? " Zi Gong replied: "It seems that it is said that the sky is very high now, and all people, old and young, ignorant or clever, know that it is very high. How high is the sky? But they all said they didn't know. This is why I know that Confucius is virtuous, but I don't know how virtuous he is. "
