Computed from this exact witness · Contextual interpretation awaits editorial review. The guide is a set of reading prompts, not a translation. Sources & methods
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.

韓非子 · 內儲說下六微第三十一是以明主有所利，其尸主之；有所害，必反察之。是以明主之論也，國害則省其利者，臣害則察其反者。
韓非子 · 難三第三十八是以明主御群臣者也。故法莫如顯，而術不欲見。是以明主言法，則境內卑賤莫不聞知也，不獨滿於堂；用術，則親愛近習莫之得聞也，不得滿室。
韓非子 · 八經第四十八是以明主也。廢置無度則權瀆，賞罰下共則威分。是以明主不懷愛而聽，不留說而計。故聽言不參，則權分乎姦；智力不用，則君窮乎臣。
