Confucius' famous saying. From the Analects of Confucius: "Confucius said:' Learning from time to time, isn't it pleasant?'

However, Confucius taught people to learn "six arts", including etiquette, music, shooting, imperial, calligraphy and mathematics, and "reciting" was only "one end" (see Liu Baonan's The Analects of Justice). Huang Kan-Shu said, "There are three times when you learn." One refers to the age, the other refers to the season, and the third refers to the morning and evening. Jiang Boqian, a close friend, thinks that "learning is to know the new and learning is to review the old" (Introduction to Thirteen Classics).
