this is called "poem". haha.. i am joking, but do you have a teahcer you respect so much? if you do, you will have no difficulty in understanding such a feeling. I am lucky to have one who is just like what Han Yu described in his " Dicourse on Teacher (shi Shuo). thank you for reading my lines(but not lies).
韩愈是劝人做好老师，荀子是劝人当好学生，你把两个混一块读，蛮有创意，正符合现代人角色互换的癖好。
顺便掉个书袋，韩愈写师说，是因为当时老师很遭人瞧不起，只会教人句读。这当然是拜科举考明经的过。大家有人生苦恼，都去找寺院里的禅师聊天去了，所以韩愈才大声疾呼，师者，传道受业解惑也，授业解惑在传道之后。回顾向学十数年，真正如此的良师不足一二。唉，无常师，也是不得不啊。
小时候读过一篇“施氏食狮史”的短文，全篇都这一个音。
韩昌黎的师说，在我看来远不及荀子的劝学。或许得名师是好的，但别忘了“无常
师”的道理，才能“寒于水”。
