general idea
Although a young man who has just entered the society has a short experience, he is less infected by various social bad habits; A person who has experienced a lot of accidents will have more bad habits. Therefore, a cultivated gentleman, rather than paying attention to smooth things, might as well keep a simple personality; It is better to be open-minded than to be cautious in everything, so as not to lose your innocent nature.

Like quotations, but there is interest that quotations do not have; Put in order, who seems to be an essay, has an essay that is not easy to reach; It seems to be admonished, but there is a kind awakening that the admonition lacks; And there are rain and mountains, the night is quiet and the bell is ringing, and the words are clear and delicious, and the wind and moon are boundless.
