Mr. Wang said: I can't learn. Green is taken from blue, and green is blue; Ice, water, but colder than water. The wood is straight in the rope. Think of it as a wheel, and its curve is in the rules. Although there is a crisis, those who stop coming forward will make it happen. Therefore, the wood is straight by the rope, the gold is sharp, the gentleman is knowledgeable, and he saves himself every day, so he knows clearly without fault.

Think all day long, it is better to learn it in a moment; I've tasted it and I'm looking forward to it. Let's go hiking. Climb a trick, the arm does not lengthen, but the person you see is far away; Call with the wind, the sound does not add disease, but the listener is obvious. Those who cheat horses are not good enough, but cause thousands of miles; People who make fake boats can't live in water, let alone in rivers. A gentleman's life is the same, and he is good at false things.

Accumulated soil becomes mountains, and the wind and rain are prosperous; The water drops merged into the ocean and the dragon was born; Accumulate goodness into virtue, the gods are complacent, and the sacred heart is prepared. Therefore, you can't take Wan Li Road without accumulating steps; If you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be a river. Leap, not ten steps; This is a great contribution to the success of Ma Xu. Perseverance, rotten wood can't be carved; Perseverance, the stone can be carved. Earthworms do not have the advantages of minions, and their bones and muscles are strong. They eat the earth and drink the yellow land with their hearts. The crab kneels six times and pinches twice. It's not that the snake hole has no sustenance, it's also impetuous.

Translation:

The gentleman said: learning can't stop.

For example, indigo is extracted from bluegrass, but it is bluer than bluegrass; Ice is condensed from cold water, but it is colder than water. The wood is straight and conforms to the chalk line, but if it is bent into a wheel by fire, then the curvature of the wood conforms to the standard that the plan of compasses is generally round. Even if it is dry, the wood will not be straight again, and the fire will become like this. Therefore, wood will be straightened when measured with ink lines, and metal swords will be sharpened when ground on grindstones. A gentleman learns from others and introspects every day, and then he is wise and reasonable, and his behavior is innocent.

I used to think hard all day, but I didn't gain as much knowledge as I learned in an instant; I once stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, but I climbed too high to see widely. Climb high and wave, the arm is not lengthened, but people in the distance can see it; Shouting with the wind, the voice did not increase, but the listener heard it clearly. People who use horses and chariots can walk Wan Li Road if they don't walk fast, and people who use boats and boats can swim across the Yangtze River and the Yellow River if they are not good at swimming. A gentleman's qualification is no different from that of ordinary people, but he is good at using foreign things.

Earth and stone pile up into mountains, and the wind and rain start from here; Water flows into the abyss, and dragons are born from it; Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, cultivate noble moral character, and the natural mind will be clear and there will be a spiritual realm of saints. Therefore, without the accumulation of half a step, there is no way to reach thousands of miles away; Without the accumulation of tiny flowing water, there is no way to merge into the rivers and seas. The horse jumped less than ten paces; A rotten horse can get there in ten days by pulling a cart, and its achievements come from non-stop walking. If you stop carving a few times, then the rotten wood will continue to carve. If you insist on carving, then this stone can be carved successfully. Earthworms have no sharp claws, teeth and strong bones and muscles, but they can eat the soil and drink the water in it, because they are single-minded. A crab has six legs and two claws, but without snakes and eels, it has nowhere to live, because it is impetuous.
