The Oil-paper umbrella, with    1     history of over 1,000 years in China, used to be a water-proof tool for daily use. As a matter of fact, oil-paper umbrellas are not just used    2     (protect) people from rain or sunlight. They are also works of art with rich cultural meaning.

Since the oil-paper umbrellas first appeared during the Eastern Han Dynasty, they    3     (become) very popular among men of letters, who love to write and draw on the umbrella surface to show their painting    4     (skill) and cultural tastes.

In the past,    5     was also a tradition for people who would travel far to take the imperial examinations (科举考试) to bring a red oil-paper umbrella in their backpack. As “backpack” and “giving blessing” share the similar pronunciation in Chinese, bringing an oilpaper umbrella    6     (symbolize) the blessings for a safe journey and bright future.

Moreover, the oil-paper umbrella also stands for    7     (romance) and faithful love in some minority areas. In some regions    8     the Yao people live, the umbrella is used as an engagement (订婚) present.

Although the red oil-paper umbrella is no longer    9     (common) used for rainy days, many places around China still keep the tradition of    10     (gift) a red oil-paper umbrella in celebration for birthdays, weddings, newborns, moving houses, and promotions.

On Teachers

Ancient scholars certainly had teachers. A teacher is one who passes on the truth, imparts knowledge and solves puzzles. Man is not born with knowledge. Who can deny that he has puzzles? If one had doubts and is not willing to learn from a teacher, his doubts     1     (never resolve).

The men born before me surely know the truth before me, so I respect them as teachers, whereas those born after me may also know the truth before me, so I likewise respect them as teachers. It is the truth that I endeavor to learn. Must I know beforehand     2     my teacher was born earlier or later than me? Therefore, no distinction should be made between the noble and the humble or between the young and the old. Where lies the truth, there is a teacher.

Alas, it is a long time     3     the admirable tone of respecting teachers ceased to pass on! How hard it would be to expect a man to be free of puzzle! Sages in olden times     4     outstripped by far the ordinary people even had teachers and asked them questions. Nowadays the multitude(大众),     5     much inferior to sages, are ashamed of being instructed by teachers. As a consequence, sages become more sage, and ignoramuses(无知识的人)more ignorant. The wisdom of the former and the stupidity of the latter -- are they not all caused by this?

Loving parents may select teachers to instruct their children. But when it comes to themselves, they feel     6     a disgrace to be taught by them. How wrong they must be! The teachers of their children only show them how to read a book sentence by sentence, not to be mentioned in the same breath as those whom I refer to as passing on the truth and solving puzzles. For lack of reading skills, one seeks the help of teachers, while for unsolved puzzles, one acts contrariwise. It is indeed learning the lesser but giving up the greater. I do not see its wisdom.

Physicians, musicians and multifarious artisans are not ashamed of learning from each other. But among the gentlefolk the talk about the teachers and pupils would invite laughter from a gathered company. When     7     (ask) about the reason, they would say. “The one is equal to the other in age and knowledge.” To be instructed by a man of low social standing is regarded as a disgrace, and by a man of high official rank as a flattery. Alas, it is only conceivable that the noble tone of respecting teachers is lost and hardly retrievable! Physicians, musicians and artisans are refused to be treated as equals by gentlefolks, yet these gentlefolks turn out to be     8     (intelligent) than those physicians, musicians and artisans. Is it not strange?

Sages have had no constant teachers. Confucius once learned from Tan Zi as well as from Chang Hong, Shi Xiang and Laozi, though Tan Zi and his like are not on a parity with him in wisdom. Confucius says: “Out of my two fellow-travelers one     9     be qualified to be my teacher.” Hence pupils are not necessarily inferior to teachers, and teachers need not always be superior to pupils. Some may know the truth earlier or later than others and each has his own professional speciality - that is all!

Li Pan, aged seventeen, is fond of ancient classical writings and have studied all the six arts and their commentaries. Not restrained by the current practice, he has learned from me. As I praise him for his     10     (stick) to the old ways, I am writing this essay “On Teachers” for him.
