Make this passage yours.
Use the reading guide above, build your interpretation, then test what you can recover. Your notes and schedule stay on this device.
1 · Explain it in your own words
2 · Recover the wording
Select a source unit, then hide the passage and reconstruct it. This checks textual recall, not understanding.
3 · Explain, then revisit
Without the source in front of you, explain the passage’s main point and one choice you made in reading it. Then reopen the text and check the evidence.
Rate your understanding yourself. These reminders use a simple schedule; they do not certify mastery.

荀子 · 議兵篇第十五父不能以不調，則羿不能以中微；六馬不和，則造父不能以致遠；士民不親附，則湯、武不能以必勝也。故善附民者，是乃善用兵者也。故兵要在乎（善）
荀子 · 天論篇第十七之可以治之可以事者矣；所志於陰陽者，已其見和之可以治者矣。官人守天而自為守道也。
韓非子 · 外儲說右下第三十五雖造父不造父以渴服馬久矣，今馬見池，駻而走，雖造父不能治。今簡公之以法禁其眾久矣，而田成恆利之，是田成恆傾圃池而示渴民也。
