A superior scholar listening to reason,
he is strenuous and practises it.
An average scholar listening to reason,
sometimes keeps, sometimes loses.
An inferior scholar listening to reason
greatly ridicules it.
not he ridiculed,
not could thus to be regarded as reason.
Therefore who builds words the one says that:
Those enlightened by reason resemble the dark.
Those advanced in reason resemble the retreating.
The straight in reason resemble the rugged.
The high in virtue resemble a valley.
The perfect is whiteness are likely to be put to shame.
The broadest in virtue resemble the not-sufficient.
Firmly established virtue resembles the remiss.
Simple chastity resembles the changing.
The greatest square has no corner.
The greatest vessel not yet is completed.
The greatest sound is void of speech.
The greatest form has no shape.
Reason when hidden,
not having name.
However it is exactly reason can give and complete.
