13.6

There was the Yellow Turban Li Zhongqing, whose learning fell short of looking through a tube, and whose wisdom was ashamed before mere conjecture. Boasting of the wings of an egret, he looked toward terrifying Mount Song and Mount Hua; carrying the light of a tiny torch, he vied for brilliance with the sun and moon. Thereupon he composed the 'Ten Discrepancies and Nine Delusions' to belittle the Supreme Sage. I lament his lack of knowledge and pity his blameless ignorance. For now, I compose ten analogies to enlighten him, and nine admonitions to warn him, making it as plain as pointing to one's palm. I hope that enlightened and eminent gentlemen will examine this and rectify their errors.
