English translation: Jeffrey S. Bullock [?] Library Resources
8 學行卷第... :
或問:「世言鑄金,金可鑄與?」曰:「吾聞覿君子者,問鑄人,不問鑄金。」或曰:「人可鑄與?」曰:「孔子鑄顏淵矣。」或人踧爾曰:「旨哉!問鑄金,得鑄人。」
Learning and Practice:...:
Someone asked: The world speaks of forging gold. Can gold be forged?
Yangzi said: I have heard that when one meets a junzi, one asks about "forging" men, not about forging gold.
The other said: Can men be "forged"?
Yangzi said: Confucius forged Yan Yuan.
The other, surprised, said: Excellent! I asked about forging gold and I learn about "forging" men.
