Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, Confucius often exhorted his students to emulate Yan Hui, urging them not to covet wealth and enjoyment, but to dedicate themselves to their studies.
Confucius remarked that if a person eats their fill all day long with nothing to do, and fails to engage their mind in thoughtful consideration, they will never accomplish anything meaningful.
He added that even chess players, though seemingly idle, still employ their minds, making them far superior to those who merely eat their fill all day and remain unproductive.
