Quote Collection Before The Label: How To Read Quote Collections Critically is introduced through Tao Te Ching, Chapter 64, not through broad reputation.

What Qian Li Changes: Analects and Tao Te Ching, Analects 1.1 and Tao Te Ching 64 changes the reading by forcing comparison. Its recalled excerpt is 《論語》：學而時習之，不亦說乎？有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎？人不知而不慍，不亦君子乎？《道德經》：合抱之木，生於毫末；九層之臺，起於累土；千里之行，始於足下。 The page uses that material to keep qian li from becoming a loose English label.
