CHAPTER XXII.
1. Kung-sun Ch'ao of Wei asked Tsze-kung,
saying, 'From whom did Chung-ni get his learning?'
2. Tsze-kung replied, 'The doctrines of Wan
and Wu have not yet fallen to the ground. They are to be found among men. Men
of talents and virtue remember the greater principles of them, and others, not
possessing such talents and virtue, remember the smaller. Thus, all possess the
doctrines of Wan and Wu. Where could our Master go that he should not have an
opportunity of learning them? And yet what necessity was there for his having a
regular master?'
