柴也愚,參也魯,師也辟,由也喭。Chai is simple, Shen is slow, Shi is showy, You is coarse.
What this chapter says
一孔按:高柴愚,曾参鲁,子张偏,子路粗。孔子当面点出四个学生的偏处,为的是让各人知道自己该补哪一样。常有人问:“柴也愚,参也鲁,师也辟,由也喭”,孔子当面这样说学生,为什么?上面是一孔录的回答。

| 柴也愚,参也鲁, | “曾子之学,诚笃而已。圣门学者,聪明才辩,不为不多,而卒传其道,乃质鲁之人尔。故学以诚实为贵也。” | page 147 |
| 柴也愚,参也鲁, | “曾子之才鲁,故其学也确,所以能深造乎道也。” | page 147 |

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | differs | fairly sure | 愚鲁辟喭皆论弟子气质。钱训愚为好仁之过、辟为偏、喭为刚猛;朱训愚为知不足厚有余、辟便辟、喭粗俗,字训有别。鲁为钝则同。 |
