Be good at diligence, laziness is ruined by thinking.

It means: study is specialized because of diligence, but abandoned because of play; Virtue is gained by independent thinking and corrupted by conformity.

From Han Yu's Xue Jie in Tang Dynasty.

Original: industry is good at diligence, and playing with things is boring; What I did was thought, but it was destroyed. The sages met today, and the fixture was finished. Pull out evil spirits and worship good. The ratio of small good people is recorded, and those who are famous for their technology are useless. Climb, scrape and polish. Guy was lucky to be elected, but which cloud is more than the others? Not all students are proficient, and there is no ignorance of the department; You can't succeed if you suffer, and you can't suffer if you suffer.

Study is specialized because of diligence, but abandoned because of play; Virtue is gained by independent thinking and corrupted by conformity. Nowadays, when a saint meets a saint, all kinds of laws are implemented. Eliminate evil and promote good. Those who have a little advantage are accepted, and those who have a little talent are not appointed. Select outstanding talents and cultivate talents. Only those who are not good enough are chosen by luck, and those who are not good enough are not promoted.

As long as you worry that your studies can't be improved, you don't have to worry that the officials in charge are not wise enough; As long as you are worried that virtue will not achieve any purpose, don't worry about the unfairness of being an official.

Introduction to the work:

Han Yu's Understanding of Learning was written in the eighth year of Yuanhe, Tang Xianzong (8 13). Han Yu is forty-six years old. He is a doctor of Guo Zixue in Chang 'an, and taught as a student. Going to school means encouraging students to study hard and make continuous progress. Explain, explain, analyze. The full text is called "Jin Xuejie" on the pretext that Mr. Wang advised students to study. Mr. Wang questioned them before answering them. It is actually a work of sighing and expressing anger.

Jin Xuejie shows the anguish of honest, talented and ambitious intellectuals in feudal times, criticizes unreasonable social phenomena, and has typical significance, so it is endless.
