"Encourage learning" original:

Mr. Wang said: I can't learn.

Green is blue, green is blue; Ice, water, but colder than water. If the wood is straight in the rope, it is a wheel, and its curve is in the gauge. Although there is a crisis, those who stop coming forward will make it happen. Therefore, the wood is straight, the gold is sharp, and the gentleman is knowledgeable and saves himself, so he knows what is clear and not wrong.

Think all day long, it is better to learn it in a moment; Expectation is because of different tastes, so let's learn from it. 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; A man who pretends to be a boat can't swim, but he can't swim. The life of a gentleman is the same, and the goodness lies in personal leave.

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 of "encouraging learning";

The gentleman said: learning can't stop.

Indigo, (is) extracted from blue grass, but (its color) is bluer than blue grass; Ice is frozen by water, but it is colder than water. Wood is straight to the straight ink line. If it is bent into a wheel by heating, its radian will conform to the compass (drawing a circle). Even if it is dried in the sun, it is no longer straight, which is caused by artificial processing.

Therefore, the wood will be straight after being scratched by ink lines (axe sawing), and the metal knife will be sharp when it is put on the grindstone (grinding). A gentleman can learn from others and behave himself every day, so that he can be wise and knowledgeable and have no mistakes in his behavior.

I've been thinking all day, so it's better to learn for a moment. I once stood on tiptoe to see far away, so I climbed high and didn't see wide.

Climb high, wave your hands, your arms don't grow, but people can see from a distance; Shouting with the wind didn't get louder, but the listener heard it clearly. With the help of chariots and horses, people can walk fast, but they can reach thousands of miles away; People who use boats can't swim, but they can cross the river. There is no (what) difference in the essence of a gentleman (with ordinary people), but he is good at learning with the help of foreign things.

Accumulate soil into mountains, wind and rain (meeting), accumulated water into deep pools, and dragons (meeting) grow; Accumulate good deeds and cultivate good moral character, so that the spirit can reach a high level, the wisdom can be developed and the sage's thoughts can be possessed. So if you don't accumulate a small step (every time), there is no (road) to go thousands of miles away (place); If we don't gather a trickle, we won't (just) gather into rivers and seas. A good horse can't jump ten steps at a time; A bad horse can pull a cart for ten days (or walk a long way).

Its success lies in its constant walking. Carve (once) and leave (don't carve), rotten wood (also) can't be carved; If you keep carving, the stone can be carved (successfully). Earthworms have no sharp claws and hard bones, but they can eat the soil and drink the spring water on the ground. Crab (has) six legs and two crab claws, (but) there is no hole (just right) for snakes and eels to rest (body), (this is) because it is impetuous.
