Definitions & Examples
Confucius said: 'I set my heart on learning at fifteen...'
I was going to report this to the local officials, replace your corvée, and restore your tax payments—how would that be? He said: 'All right.' Now I have been doing this job for twelve years, and I have narrowly escaped death many times. As I spoke, my face looked very sad. I felt sorry for him and said: 'Do you hate this job? I was going to report this to the local officials, replace your corvée, and restore your tax payments.' The Jiang family became very sad, and tears streamed down their face, saying: 'You will take pity on me and let me live? The misfortune of this corvée job is not as bad as the misfortune of restoring my tax payments. If I had not done this corvée job, I would have been in dire straits for a long time.'
