Extended application:
The first sentence of the opening chapter of "The Analects of Confucius", isn't it also true that you should learn and practice it over time? Isn’t it great to have friends from far away? Isn't it a gentleman if a person doesn't know something but doesn't get upset?
Zhu Xi, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, spoke highly of this chapter, saying that it is "the door to Taoism and the foundation for accumulation of virtue."
This chapter proposes that learning should be a pleasure and that people should be ignorant but not stunned. This reflects Confucius's ideas of being tireless in learning, tireless in teaching, focusing on self-cultivation, and being strict with himself.
