緇門警訓 8.61

8.61

莫以今人似古人。較量終是有疎親。當時建磨分皮髓。
後代兒孫洗麫筋。

Do not take people of today to be like people of old;
When weighed and compared, there is ultimately distance and intimacy.
In those days, working the mill distinguished the skin from the marrow;
Later generations of descendants merely wash flour for gluten.
