The Great Learning

大学（The Great Learning） My master, the philosopher Ch'ing, says:—"The Great Learning is a book left by Confucius, and forms the gate by which first learners enter into virtue. That we can now perceive the order in which the ancients pursued their learning, is solely owing to the preservation of this work, the Analects and Mencius coming after it.Learners must commence their course with this, and then it may be hoped they will be kept from error." 单词 1. master ['mɑːstə] n. 大师，能手 2.philosopher [fɪ'lɒsəfə] n. 哲学家 3.
