Translation:

Few people are interested in learning from ancient speakers. Those who are interested in learning from the ancients will be abandoned by the present. I am really happy for those who are interested in the ancients, and I feel sorry for them. I have repeatedly praised people who are interested in learning from the ancients just to encourage them. Those who can praise dare not praise, and those who can criticize at will dare not criticize.

Many people have asked me. I think your intention is not utilitarian, so I will tell you these words for the time being. Han yuyan
