習童蒙法（易稱蒙卦者謂來求我非我求蒙蒙者𭞾也韓康注云蒙昧幼小之蒙又玉篇曰童幼迷昏也廣雅曰童癡也鄭玄注周禮蒙冒也毛詩傳曰蒙覆也言童幼之心愚昧所為惽謬如以物覆蔽也）。

"Practicing the methods of the childlike and ignorant" (The Yijing refers to the hexagram Meng (蒙) by saying, "It is not I who seek the ignorant youth; the ignorant youth seeks me." Meng means obscure. Han Kang's commentary says: "Meng means the obscurity of youth." The Yupian also says: "Tong (童) means young, bewildered, and muddled." The Guangya says: "Tong means foolish." Zheng Xuan's commentary on the Rites of Zhou says: "Meng means covered over." The commentary to the Mao Songs says: "Meng means shrouded." This means that what is done out of the foolishness of a youthful heart is muddled and erroneous, as if covered and concealed by an object).
