Confucius Says . . . Learn Chinese!

Study ay Huayi Chinese Language School

Quote from the Chinese philosopher Confucius who lived from 551 BC to 479 BC

“If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone, morals and art will deteriorate; if justice goes astray, the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything.”
