When people are young, their minds are sharp, and when they grow up, their thoughts are easy to be scattered. Therefore, it is necessary to educate children as soon as possible and not to miss the opportunity. When I was seven years old, I recited "Lingguang Dian Fu". To this day, I review every ten years, and I have never forgotten the classics I recited after I was twenty. I left them there for a month, and they were abandoned. Of course, people always have difficulties and lose their studies in their prime. Do not give up on yourself. Confucius said, "You don't have to make a big mistake when you learn the Book of Changes at the age of fifty." Wei Wudi and Yuan studied more attentively when they were old. These are all examples of hard work from childhood to adulthood. Ceng Zi/KLOC-began to study at the age of 0/7, and eventually became famous in the world. Xunzi began to study in Qi at the age of fifty, and still became a great scholar. Gong began to read Spring and Autumn Annals in his forties and finally became prime minister. Zhu Jun began to learn the Book of Changes and The Analects of Confucius at the age of forty, and Huangfu Mi began to learn the Book of Filial Piety and The Analects of Confucius at the age of twenty. They all became great scholars in the end. These are all examples of people who were addicted in their early years and woke up in their later years. It's too late for ordinary people to start learning when they are adults, so it's like standing on the wall day after day, unable to see anything, just like people who have studied since childhood. People who start learning when they are old are like walking at night with torches, but they are better than those who can't see anything with their eyes closed.
The book of saints is used to educate people. As long as you can read the scriptures and understand the meaning of annotations, it is enough to be a person in the world. Why do you have to write two pages to explain the word "Zhongniju"? When you say "residence", you mean the place where you live, and he says "residence" means the place where you study. Who can tell now? On this issue, will winning or losing be of any benefit? Time is worth cherishing, just like running water, which is gone forever. We should read the main points in the book extensively to achieve fame and fortune. If you can combine elaboration with specialization, then I won't criticize (I have nothing to criticize) and ask for praise!
