2. "The doctrines of Wên and Wu have never yet fallen to the ground," replied Tzu Kung, "but have remained amongst men. Gifted men have kept in mind their nobler principles, while others not so gifted have kept in mind the minor, so that nowhere have the doctrines of Wên Wu been absent. From whom then, could our Master not learn? And, moreover, what need was there for him to have a regular teacher?"
