The Explanation of Entering the Academy Appreciation

Mr. Guozi entered the Imperial College in the morning, recruited all the students to stand under the pavilion, and taught them the following: "Excellence in work is better than diligence, and wastage is worse than play; the line of work is better than thought, and destruction is worse than following. Now that the sages meet, the governance of Bi Zhang, pull out the evil, Deng Chong Junliang. Accounting for the rate of small good to record, the name of an art is not mediocre. Climbing, picking and choosing, scraping and polishing. The cover is fortunate to be selected, who is more than the cloud and not promote. The students suffer from the industry can not be fine, not with the Secretary of the unknown; line of work can not be accomplished, not with the Secretary of the unfair."

The words have not been, there is a laugh in the columns: "Mr. Yu Yu Yuya! I've been working with Mr. Kennedy for a few years. Mr. mouth is not absolutely chanting in the six arts of the text, the hand does not stop Phi in the hundreds of editors; the chronicle must be mentioned in its essence, the codification of the words will hook its mystery; greed for more business, fine large donations; burning oil to sundial, constant Woody to poor years. Mr. industry, can be said to be diligent. Mr. Kung's work can be described as diligent. He was in a position to dismiss heresies, repel Buddhists and elders; to fill the gaps and make up for the mistakes; to find the lost threads of the vastness of the world, the only side of the search and the far Shao; the obstacles to the east of a hundred rivers, and to return to the madness of the waves of the downturn. Mr. Confucian, can be said to be laborious. Immersed in brewing Yu, containing Ying mastication. As an article, his book is full of family. Yao Si on the rules, muddy and endless, Zhou "enjoin" Yin "disk", difficult to pronounce, "Spring and Autumn" rigorous, "Zuo's" pompous, "Yi" strange and law, "Poetry" is positive and pa; under the arrest of the "Chuang", "Sao", recorded in the history of the record, Zi Yun, Xiang Ru, the same work is not the same song. Mr. in the text, can be said to be a Hong which and wantonly its outside carry on. Mr. Zhang's writing can be said to be a big and wanton outside. He was young and learned, and was brave enough to dare to do so; he grew up in the party, and was suitable for the right and left. Mr. in the person, can be said to have become. However, the public do not see the letter to the people, private do not see help to friends, prostrate, always to blame. Temporarily for the royal historian, then scuttled to the southern barbarians. Three years of doctorate, redundancy, no governance. The life and hatred of the conspiracy, take the defeat a few times. In the warm winter, his children were cold; in the rich year, his wife was hungry. The head of the child's teeth are open, but how to benefit from the death? I don't know what to think about this, but I think it's a good idea to teach people."

[Translation]

Mr. Guo Zi came to the Imperial College early in the morning, called the students together, stood under the lecture hall, and instructed them, saying, "Study depends on diligence to be superb, and if one is greedy for fun, it will be wasted; virtue depends on thinking to be formed, and if one follows the crowd, it will be ruined. In today's imperial court, the wise monarch and the virtuous ministers have met together, and the rules and regulations have all been established; they are able to root out the wicked and promote the virtuous and the handsome, and those who have a little bit of merit will be employed, and those who are known for one skill will not be abandoned. They carefully search for talents, change their shortcomings, and promote their merits. There are only those who are not talented enough but are chosen by chance; where are those who are excellent in learning and behavior but are not caught up in the selection process? Students, do not worry that the eyes of those who select talents are not bright, but only fear that your studies will not be exquisite; do not worry that they will not be fair, but only fear that your virtues will not be accomplished!"

Before the words were finished, there was a man in the queue who laughed and said, "Mr. is deceiving us, right? I have been following you for some years now. Mr. mouth has not stopped chanting the text of the six scriptures, the hand has not stopped reading the books of the sons, the record must give it the main content to, the argument must outline its mystery to. I want to get more, and I want to get something, no matter whether it is insignificant or significant, I don't want to leave it out. The sun goes down, then burned oil lamps, all year round, always there tireless research. Mr. for the study, can be said to be diligent enough. He resisted and excluded those heresies, expelled and rejected the doctrines of Buddhism and Taoism, supplemented and perfected the theoretical defects and deficiencies of Confucianism, expounded and enlarged its profound and hidden significance, and delved into those ancient Confucian doctrines which had been lost for a long time, and he also made a particularly extensive effort to discover and inherit them. To stop heresies and evil doctrines, like intercepting floods, draining them towards the East China Sea, and to bring back the righteousness that will be overwhelmed by the wild waves. Mr. can be said to have done credit to Confucianism, right? Immersed in the canonical books like mellow wine, chewing and savoring their essence, writing articles, a room piled up. On the law of Yu, Xia's book, that is how vast and boundless ah, Zhou enjoined the text, Yin disk inscription, that is how twisted and tongue-twisting ah. The Spring and Autumn Annals are so solemn, and the Zuo Zhuan is so expansive. The I Ching is strange and lawful, and the Book of Poetry is pure and gorgeous. The Zhuangzi, the Li Sao, the Historical Records of the Grand Historian, and the writings of Yang Xiong and Sima Xiangru are all the same, though they are different and wonderful. Mr. for the article, can be said to be the attainment of deep and broad and the pen down the waves of the broad bar. Mr. young know good learning, dare to do, grow up, know the etiquette and righteousness, behavior is appropriate. Mr. for people, can be said to be very mature. However, you are not trusted in the official world, and no one helps you in your personal relationships. You are just like a wolf, if you go forward, you will step on your own jaws, and if you go backward, you will trip on your own tail, and every move you make will attract faults. After a period of time as a royal historian, he was banished to the far south. Being a doctor for three years, lazy and did not show any political achievements. Your luck is like having a grudge against you, sooner or later, you always have to touch a defeat. When the weather is warm in winter, your children still have to call for cold; your wife still has to cry out for hunger when she was originally rich in years. Thy hair is waxed gray, and thy teeth are wanting; and thou shalt die, and what shall it profit thee? You do not think about all this, and you come to lecture people, why is this?"
