TrTranslation
經既明，方讀子，撮其要，記其事。
Once the Classics are clear, go on to the philosophers: pick out their main points and remember their stories.
五子者，有荀揚，文中子，及老莊。
The five philosophers are Xunzi and Yang Xiong, Wenzhongzi, and Laozi and Zhuangzi.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
From the Father's Lecture Notes
Only after the Classics come the philosophers, and they are read differently: “pick out the main points and remember the stories”. Grasping the essentials is enough; there is no need to read every word. This is the second way of reading the book teaches, the very opposite of the earlier word-by-word method of explaining terms and marking sentence breaks.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
