Understanding this quote
The passage says that the Classics reveal the Way through careful reading, not through empty attachment to abstract principles. A reader should first make the wording accurate, distinguish how it is read, explain difficult glosses, and clarify the commentaries. Once the text is properly understood, its principles become visible, and the Way is found within that understanding.
