衛公孫朝問於子貢曰：仲尼焉學？子貢曰：文武之道，未墜於地，在人。賢者識其大者，不賢者識其小者，莫不有文武之道焉。夫子焉不學？而亦何常師之有？Gongsun Chao of Wei asked Zigong: From whom did Zhongni learn? Zigong said: The Way of Kings Wen and Wu has not fallen to the ground; it lives among people. The worthy remember its great parts, the unworthy its small parts; there is no one without something of the Way of Wen and Wu. From whom did the Master not learn? And what need had he of a fixed teacher?
白Plain Chinese
卫国公孙朝问孔子从哪里学习，子贡说，文王武王的道没有失落，在人们那里保存着，贤者记住重要部分，不贤者记住细小部分，没有人完全没有文武之道。老师到哪里不能学，又何必有固定的老师。

Compared with Zhu Xi
| Commentary | Point | Relation | Confidence | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 杨伯峻《论语译注》 | same | settled | 文武道在人，孔处处可学无常师；公孙朝为卫大夫，以卫别同名，非孔子毫无师承知识。 | |
| 钱穆《论语新解》 | same | fairly sure | 同以文武之道存于人、大小皆可师，孔子无固定一师。钱强调道包天下故不局一人，朱以学无不在示博学。 |
