Translation:
Confucius said: "Disciples are filial to their parents when they are in front of them; When you are away from home, you should obey your teachers, be careful in your words and deeds, be honest and trustworthy, be quiet, love everyone extensively, and be close to those with benevolence. After practicing in this way, if you still have spare capacity, you will study literature knowledge again. "
Note
1. Disciple: Generally, there are two meanings: one is a younger brother and a son; The second refers to students. Here is the "disciple" in the first sense.
2. Entering: In ancient times, father and son lived in different residences, while studying was outside. "Book of Rites Neize": "From the order of men to above, father and son are different palaces". Entering is entering the father's palace, which means entering the father's residence, or at home.
3. Going out: as opposed to "entering", it refers to going out to study with a teacher. Being a younger brother means treating teachers with younger brothers, and it can also refer to people who are older than themselves.
