1． Confucius said: "If quality is superior to literature, then you will be wild; if literature is superior to quality, you will be history. If literature and quality are gentle, then you will be a gentleman." - "Yong Ye"

Paraphrase Confucius said: "If a person's simplicity exceeds his literary talent, then he will be a gentleman." It would be a bit rough; if his literary talent exceeds his simplicity, it would be a bit flashy. Only a balanced combination of literary talent and simplicity can be called an elegant gentleman."

2. Confucius said: "A gentleman is in competition but not in competition; a villain is in competition but not in competition." - "Wei Zheng"

Paraphrase Confucius said: "A gentleman unites people without collusion, while a villain only colludes with others." Rather than uniting people.”

3. Confucius said: "If people have no faith, they don't know what they can do. A big cart has no hooks and a small cart has no pulleys. How can it move."

—— "Wei Zheng"

Paraphrase Confucius said: "If a person does not pay attention to credibility, he does not know how he can live in the world. This is like a big cart or a small cart that lacks key parts and cannot hit an animal. How can it drive and walk?"

4. Confucius said: "The life of a man is straight, and the life of ignorance is fortunately avoided." - "Yong Ye"

Paraphrase Confucius said: "A person can live in the world with a clear conscience because he is worthy; A bad person can still live in the world because he was lucky enough to avoid disaster.
