Now in the conduct of studies it is making the teacher respected
that is difficult. If the teacher is respected, then the Way is honored.
If the Way is honored, then the people know that learning is
to be revered.[2] Hence, by the ceremony (li) of the Great School,
even though he address the Son of Heaven, [the teacher] does not
have to face the north; this is out of honor for the teacher and
esteem for the Way. Truly, "one who is given credence without
having to speak, and who inspires awe without making a display
of anger"—this may be said of a teacher.[3] The Ode says,[4]

By daily progress and monthly advance,
I will learn from those who are continuously bright in their enlightenment.[5]

Li chi follows this with "Thus it is that there are two among his subjects whom
the ruler does not treat as subjects. When one is personating [his ancestor], he does not
treat him as such, nor does he treat his master as such."

This sentence does not occur in Li chi.
