Original text:

Ancient scholars must have teachers. Teacher, so preach and teach to solve doubts. People are not born knowing, who can have no doubt? If you are confused and don't follow the teacher, you will be confused and you will never understand. Before I was born, I studied Tao before I was born, so I learned from Tao. After I was born, I studied Taoism first, so I studied Taoism. I am a teacher, and I don't know that years were born in me. Therefore, there is no nobility, no inferiority, no length, no shortage, and the existence of Tao and the existence of teachers.

Hey (Ji)! It's been a long time since the teacher passed on the Tao! It's hard to be confused! The ancient sages are far away, and they are still in the teacher's question; Today's people are far from saints, and they are ashamed to learn from their teachers. So saints are good for saints, and fools are good for fools. That's why saints are holy and fools are stupid! Love his son, choose a teacher and teach him; If you are in your body, you will feel ashamed and confused. He is a boy's teacher, who teaches and learns to read sentences (dà u), and he is not the person I said to spread his teachings to solve his confusion. I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Witch doctors and musicians are skilled workers, and they are not ashamed to learn from each other. The families of the scholar-officials called their teacher disciple Yun, and they got together and talked and laughed. When asked, he said, "He is almost the same as that year, and in the same way. Humble and shameful, officials are close. " Oh! Obviously, the teacher's path has gone. Witch doctors are highly skilled musicians, and gentlemen disdain them. Today, his wisdom is out of reach, strange and embarrassing!

Saint impermanence teacher. Confucius studied under Tan Zi, Changhong, Shi Xiang and Lao Dan. Scorpions' disciples are not as clever as Confucius. Confucius said: If there are three people, there must be a teacher. So disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be superior to disciples. They have a good understanding of Taoism and specialize in their skills. That's all.

Seventeen-year-old Li is good at ancient prose and knows all six arts. He has unlimited time to learn from Yu Yu. Yu Jiaqi can follow the ancient road and write Shi Shuo to make it last forever.

Translation:

People who studied in ancient times must have teachers. A teacher is a person who teaches truth, studies and explains problems. People are not born to understand reason. Who can have no doubt? If he has doubts and doesn't learn from the teacher, he will never solve the problem of doubts. People born before me, he heard the truth before me, so I followed him; If someone born later than me learns the truth before me, I will learn from him. As a teacher, I will learn the truth. What does it matter whether he was born earlier or later than me? Therefore, regardless of status or age, the place where truth exists is also the place where teachers exist.

Alas! It has been a long time since anyone spread the truth of learning from teachers. It's hard not to doubt! Ancient saints far beyond the average person, followed the teacher and asked for advice from the teacher; Nowadays, many people are far from saints, but they are ashamed to learn from their teachers. Therefore, saints are wiser and fools are more stupid. This is probably the reason why saints become saints and fools become fools. People love their children and choose teachers to educate them; For themselves, they are ashamed to let the teacher teach them, which is really stupid! The teacher who teaches children to read and be familiar with the sentences in the book is not what I call a teacher who teaches people truth and puzzles. If you don't understand the sentence, you can't solve the puzzle. Some people learn from their teachers, while others don't ask them. They learn from small aspects and forget the big ones. I don't see any wisdom in them. Witch doctors, musicians and craftsmen are not ashamed to learn from each other. If someone calls others teachers and students, these people will gather together and smile at him. Ask the scoffers, and they will say, "That man is about the same age, and his cultivation and studies are similar." How can you call him a teacher? It's shameful to treat a person with low status as a teacher. It is flattering to call a person with a high position a teacher. "ah! The truth learned from the teacher cannot be restored, so we can know. Witch doctors, musicians, craftsmen, and scholar-officials disdained to be tied to them, but now the wisdom of scholar-officials can't keep up with them. This is not a very strange thing!

Sages have no fixed teachers. Confucius used Zanzi, Changhong, Shi Xiang and Lao Ren as his teachers. Of course, people like Zanzi can't catch up with Confucius in moral ability. Confucius said, "When several people walk together, there must be a teacher." So students are not necessarily inferior to teachers, and teachers are not necessarily better than students. Knowing the truth is the first priority, and then, skills and learning have their own special research, that's all.

Seventeen-year-old Li Pan likes classical Chinese. He has studied the Six Classics, such as poems and books, and also studied the works that explain the Six Classics. He is not bound by the custom of being ashamed to learn from his teacher, and he learns from me. I praised him for learning from the ancients and specially wrote this "Teacher's Commentary" as a gift for him.

Comparative translation:

Ancient scholars must have teachers and teachers, so they preach and teach to solve doubts. People are not born knowing, who can have no doubt? If you are confused and don't follow the teacher, you will be confused and you will never understand. Before I was born, I studied Taoism, so I learned from Taoism. After I was born, I studied Taoism first, so I studied Taoism. I am a teacher, and I don't know that years were born in me. So there is nothing expensive and cheap, nothing long and little, and the existence of Tao is also the existence of teachers.

Ha ha! It's been a long time since the teacher passed on the Tao! It's hard to be confused! The ancient sages are far away, and they are still in the teacher's question; Today's people are far from saints, and they are ashamed to learn from their teachers. It is the ancient sages who benefit the saints, and the fools benefit the fools. What makes saints holy and fools stupid? Love his son, choose a teacher and teach him; If you are in your body, you will feel ashamed and confused! . The boy's teacher, who teaches the book and learns its sentences, is not the person I said to convey it to solve its confusion. I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Witch doctor, a hard-working musician, is ashamed to be a teacher. The families of the scholar-officials called their teacher disciple Yun, and they got together and talked and laughed. When asked, he said, "He is almost the same as that year, and in the same way. His humble position is full of shame, and his official position is close to his age. Oh! Obviously, the teacher's path has gone. Witch doctors are highly skilled musicians, and gentlemen disdain them. Today, his wisdom is out of reach, strange and embarrassing!

Saint impermanence teacher. Confucius studied under Tan Zi, Changhong, Shixiang and Laopin. Scorpions are not as steep as Confucius. Confucius said: In a threesome, there must be a teacher. So disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be superior to disciples. They have a good understanding of Taoism and specialize in their skills. That's all.

Seventeen-year-old Li is good at ancient prose and knows all six arts. He has unlimited time to learn from Yu Yu. Yu Jiaqi can follow the ancient road and write Shi Shuo to make it last forever.
