《問神卷第五 - Asking About Shen》 | English translation: Jeffrey S. Bullock [?] | Library Resources |
| 26 | 問神卷第... : | 或問「人」。曰：「艱知也。」曰：「焉難？」曰：「太山之與蟻垤，江河之與行潦，非難也。大聖之與大佞，難也。烏呼！能別似者為無難。」 |
| Asking About Shen: |
Someone asked about people. Yangzi said: They are difficult to understand. The other said: Why are they difficult to understand? Yangzi said: Telling the difference between Mt. Tai and an ant-hill, or the Yellow and Yangzi Rivers from drainage ditches is not difficult. But telling the difference between a great sage and a glib talker is difficult. Indeed, one who can discriminate between things that are similar can understand people without difficulty. |
