子zǐ钓diào而ér不bù纲gāng，弋yì不bú射shè宿sù。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子钓鱼，但不用大网横断水流去捕鱼；用带绳的箭射鸟，但不射归巢栖息的鸟。

James Legge Translation

The Master angled,—but did not use a net. He shot,—but not at birds perching.

Ask Confucius: local reflection

No model API is called. This local rule mode uploads nothing and keeps source, explanation, and reflection separate.

Human boundaries before model-backed chat
This is a token-free local reflection box. It calls no model, uploads no question, and only uses this passage, its guide, and fixed rules.
