Story:
During the Spring and Autumn period, Ziyou, a student of Confucius, looked down upon Zixia's disciples, believing they only taught the most basic knowledge.
Zixia sighed and said, "A gentleman teaches principles in a proper sequence, just as plants must be carefully classified, not taught randomly as one pleases. Only a sage can, having stated the beginning, know the end."
