《容斋随笔·卷十三·一以贯之》
我个人认为曾子、子贡都是孔子门下的高足弟子，他们听到孔子的话答 是的 也好，或者听到后再提出疑问也好，其实都已把孔子的言外之意默记于心了，社会上的儒生们贬低子贡的原因，在于他先赞同了 多多学习又能记得住 这句话的含义，这看法恐怕不对。
予窃以为二子皆孔门高第也，其闻言而唯，与夫闻而不复问，皆已默识于言意之表矣。世儒所以卑子贡者，为其先然 多学而识之 之旨也，是殆不然。
I personally believe that Zeng Zi and Zigong were both outstanding disciples under Confucius. Whether they answered "Yes" when they heard Confucius's words or asked questions after hearing them, they had actually memorized the implication of Confucius's words in their hearts. The reason why Confucian scholars in society belittle Zigong is because he first agreed with the meaning of the phrase, "study a lot and remember it". I'm afraid this view is wrong.
