From:「古文观止」(Gǔ Wén Guān Zhǐ)
Title:「师说」(Shī Shuō)
Author:「韩愈」(Hán Yù)
Note:The First Paragraph Only
Classical Chinese:
古之学者必有师。师者,所以传道授业解惑也 。人非生而知之者,孰能无惑?惑而不从师, 其为惑也,终不解矣。生乎吾前,其闻道也, 固先乎吾,吾从而师之;生乎吾后,其闻道也 ,亦先乎吾,吾从而师之。吾师道也,夫庸知 其年之先后生于吾乎?是故无贵无贱,无长无 少,道之所存,师之所存也。
Rough Translation:
In ancient times those who wanted to learn would seek out a teacher, one who could propagate the doctrine, impart professional knowledge, and resolve doubts. Since no one is born omniscient, who can claim to have no doubts? If one has doubts and is not willing to learn from a teacher, his doubts will never be resolved. Anyone who was born before me and learned the doctrine before me is my teacher, anyone who was born after me and learned the doctrine before me is also my teacher. Since what I desire to learn is the doctrine, why should I care whether he was born before or after me? Therefore, it does not matter whether a person is high or low in position, young or old in age. Where there is the doctrine, there is my teacher.

Essence of Chinese culture is all written in classical Chinese, what you see those
written in modern Chinese ( bai hua)are things very trivial.
