What do you mean by true and ambitious?

It means: keep your natural kindness and your wishes will be met.

Excerpted from Zhou Xingsi's Thousand-Character Works in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the original excerpt:

Fu Xun, into the mother instrument. Uncle Zhu, you are better than your son.

The Kong Huai brothers are also in this spirit. Make friends, score points, and sharpen the rules.

Kindness is hidden, it is better to leave. Retire honestly and lose money.

Sex is quiet and relaxed, and the heart is tired. Keep the truth and be full of ambition, and move one thing at a time.

Translation:

Accept the teacher's teaching outside and listen to the parents' teaching at home. Treat your aunts, uncles, uncles and other elders like your own children.

Brothers should care about each other because they take their parents' blood as their branch. Make friends with the same interests, learn from each other and encourage each other in character.

Benevolence, kindness and compassion towards people cannot be abandoned at any time and anywhere. Integrity, justice, honesty and humility, these qualities, even in the poorest times.

Keep your heart quiet and calm, your mood will be comfortable, your heart will be moved by foreign things, and your spirit will be tired and sleepy. If you keep your nature good, your wishes will be satisfied, and if you pursue material enjoyment, your kindness will change.
