19.22 卫公孙朝问于子贡曰1：“仲尼焉学？”子贡曰：“文武之道，未坠于地，在人。贤者识其大者，不贤者识其小者。莫不有文武之道焉。夫子焉不学？而亦何常师之有？”
【译文】
卫国的公孙朝问子贡说：“仲尼的学问是从哪里学得的？”子贡说：“文王、武王之道并没有流失，就存在人世。贤者认识到它的大处，不贤者只知道它的枝节。没有一处不存有文王、武王之道。我的老师何处不能学习？又哪里有固定的传授之师呀？”
【YZG解释】
卫国的公孙朝问子贡说：“仲尼通晓天下之事，这样广博的学识是从哪里学来的？”子贡说：“文王、武王之道并没有灭失，是否能识见在于人。贤者可领悟到它宏阔之处，不贤者也至少能看出它的末节。没有一处不存有文王、武王之道。夫子何处不能学习？为何一定要有固定的老师呀？”
【English Translation】
Gong Sun Chao1 of the State of Wei asked Zi Gong2: “Zhong Ni (Confucius) is well-versed in all things of the world. Where did he acquire such extensive knowledge?” Zi Gong said: “The Way of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou has not perished. Whether or not one can perceive it depends on himself. The virtuous person can understand its vastness, and even the person who is not virtuous can at least see its minor details. There is no place that does not contain the Way of King Wen and King Wu. Where cannot Confucius learn? Why is it necessarily to have a certain teacher?”
