Source: Xunzi Fei Shierzi: "Ask if you don't know, learn if you can't, give in if you can, and then be virtuous."
Ask what you don't understand, learn what you don't know, and be modest when you do, so that you can become a virtuous person.
Example: Han Shi Zhuan VI: "If you can't learn, ask if you don't know. Although you know it, you must let it go before you know it. "
Introduction of works
Xunzi is a philosophical work of Xunzi and his disciples in the Warring States period to sort out or record the words and deeds of others. There are 32 books in Xunzi, and their views are consistent with Xunzi's consistent views. Among the first 27 articles, there are still a few articles, such as "On Soldiers" and "Outline", which may be compiled by his students.
There are thirty-two articles in Xunzi today, except for a few chapters, most of which were written by him. His articles are good at reasoning, clear-cut, thorough analysis, good at giving examples, and often use parallelism to enhance the momentum of discussion. Language is full of warning, strong persuasion and appeal.
