Gongshu can transmit the compass and square to others, but cannot make them skillful in using them; (Transmitting means giving. Gongshu's name was Ban, a skillful man of Lu. The compass is an instrument for making circles; the square is an instrument for making squares. It means he can give others the methods of square and round, but cannot make others skillful in doing so.)
