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 · 說疑第四十四此十二人明、董不識、卞隨、務光、伯夷、叔齊，此十二人者，皆上見利不喜，下臨難不恐，或與之天下而不取，有萃辱之名，則不樂食穀之利。
韓非子 · 說疑第四十四此十二人此十二人者，或伏死於窟穴，或槁死於草木，或飢餓於山谷，或沉溺於水泉。有民如此，先古聖王皆不能
