Although Book of Rites II has a good original and translation.

Although there are good dishes, I don't know its purpose; Although there is supreme Tao, learning, I don't know its goodness. It is to learn and then know the deficiency, and to teach and then know the difficulty. If you don't know enough, then you can reverse; Advance despite difficulties, and then strive for self-improvement. As the saying goes, "teaching and learning learn from each other." "Duiming" said: "Learn half", that's what it means.

Ancient teachers have schools, the party has difficulties, the art is orderly, and state-owned learning. Admission the following year, middle-aged exam. Different from the classic year; Three-year-old professional music group; Five years teaching experience; Seven years of study and making friends is a small achievement. I have known the class very well for nine years and stood firm and did not object. This is a great achievement. Husband is enough to change the customs, and those who are near will persuade him, and those who are far away will be pregnant. This is also the way of university. "Ji" said: "A moth puts out a fire, which can be used for reference." That's what it means.

At the beginning of university education, Pigou sacrificed vegetables to show his respect for Taoism. The third edition of Elegant Night is the official beginning. Sun also enrolled in school. Two things in early summer, accept their prestige. If you don't look at your studies, you swim in ambition. Don't look at the time, but leave your heart in the words. The young people listened and asked, but they couldn't wait to learn. These seven things are related to teaching. "Ji" said: "Where to learn, officials should do things first, and scholars should be ambitious first." That's what it means.

University law: it is forbidden to say underdevelopment; When it can be called; Don't care, call Sun; Looking at each other is good, called friction. These four things are also well taught. If it is sent and then banned, it will be overwhelming; If you study outside your time, you will work hard and it will be difficult to achieve anything; Miscellaneous giving without grandchildren, bad and chaotic without repair; Studying alone without friends is ignorant; Yan Peng rebelled against his teacher, and Yan Bi abandoned school. These six things are all taught and abandoned.

Translation:

Even if there are delicious dishes, you don't know their delicacy if you don't eat them; Even if there is the best truth, you don't know its benefits if you don't learn it. Therefore, after learning, you will know the shortcomings, and after teaching, you will know the confusion. Know enough so that you can reflect on yourself later. Know the confusion, and then you can encourage yourself. Therefore, preaching, teaching and solving doubts are mutually reinforcing. The book Redemption says: "Teaching others accounts for half of your study." That's what I said.

In ancient times, schools were set up to educate students. Every 25 "Lu" schools are called "Shu", every "Party" has its own school called "East", every "Skill" has its own school called "Xu", and universities are established in the country of emperors or princes. The school enrolls students every year and tests students every other year. In the first year, students' basic reading ability, such as sentence breaking and chapter division, is investigated, and in the third year. The fifth year examines students' ability to learn extensively and get close to teachers. In the seventh year, the students' ability to discuss academic right and wrong and identify friends was investigated. This stage of learning is called "Cheng Xiao".

In the ninth year, students can draw inferences from others and have a strong belief that they will not violate the teacher's teaching. Reaching the learning standard at this stage is called "Dacheng". Only in this way can we educate the people, change the customs, and the people around us can be completely convinced, and people far away will also submit to him. This is the purpose of teaching and educating people in universities. The ancient book says: "People who study should study tirelessly according to the spirit of small ants holding soil and making mounds." That's what I said.

At the beginning of the university, [the emperor or official] wore a formal dress, had a sacrificial plate and offered sacrifices to the sages, which showed that he respected the teacher and attached great importance to the road. Students should recite three poems: The Book of Songs, Poetry, Poetry, Poetry and Poetry, and encourage students to be officials at the beginning of school. Before entering the school to teach, drum the students first, and then open the book box; At the same time, it shows that rulers should restrain their appearance and behavior; [Students enter school in spring, instructors] No divination, no sacrifice, and students who don't take the exam will make students feel at ease; Always observe but don't say, let the problems pile up in the students' hearts; Young students only listen to the teacher's explanation and don't ask questions casually, so it is not difficult to learn. These seven points are the basic principles of teaching. The ancient book says: "To be an official, first learn something related to the position;" To learn to be a scholar, you must first learn the ambition that a bachelor should have. "That's the truth.

The method of teaching in universities is to stop students' mistakes before they happen, which is called prevention; Education at the best time is called timeliness; Education that does not exceed the talent and age characteristics of the educated is called gradual progress; Learning from each other's strengths is called observation. These four points are the experience of successful teaching. If you make a mistake and then block it, you will resist and be out of place; Let go of learning opportunities and remedy afterwards. Despite efforts, it is difficult to succeed. If there is no orderly teaching, the school will be chaotic and accomplish nothing; Study alone, without discussing with friends, with little knowledge and little knowledge; Associating with dishonest friends is bound to violate the teacher's teaching; Engaging in some improper conversation will inevitably neglect formal study. These six points are the reasons for the failure of teaching.
