Patriarch Yan said: "The ancients delighted in hearing of their own faults and rejoiced in doing good; they were adept at tolerating offenses and magnanimous in concealing others' evils. They were humble in making friends and diligent in helping the multitude, not dividing their minds over gain or loss. Therefore, their brilliance was magnificent and grand, shining upon both past and present." (From A Letter in Reply to Lingyuan).
