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 · 大略篇第二十七天下之亂，使人無失。禮者、其表也，先王以禮表天下之亂。今廢禮者，是去表也。故民迷惑而陷禍患，此刑罰之所以繁也。
韓非子 · 難一第三十六不可謂仁忘民不可謂仁義。仁義者，不失人臣之禮，不敗君臣之位者也。是故四封之內，執禽而朝名曰臣，臣吏分職受
韓非子 · 忠孝第五十一進不臣君賢而危主者也，而天下賢之。古之烈士，進不臣君，退不為家，是進則非其君，退則非其親者也。
