Original text:

Confucius said: "You, teach your daughter to know it! Knowing it means knowing it, not knowing it means not knowing it, this is knowing."

By: Confucius His surname is Zhong, his given name is You, and his courtesy name is Zilu.

The meaning of the whole sentence is: Zilu, tell me your attitude towards knowing and not knowing (that is, your attitude towards learning)! Knowing means knowing, and not knowing means not knowing. This is true wisdom.

The "zhi" in "IS Zhiye" refers to "zhi" (the meaning of wisdom).

This is a widely circulated famous saying of Confucius. Later generations will be used to remind people to treat knowledge issues with an honest attitude and without any hypocrisy or pride. It is necessary to develop a down-to-earth and serious learning attitude, a pragmatic style, and avoid the tendency of recklessness and vanity. Tell people to learn with an open mind and don’t pretend to understand.
