Make friends with three points of chivalry, be simple, spoil the benefits before others, and enjoy the virtues after others, so as not to lose points.
Making friends should be somewhat chivalrous, and doing things should have a pure heart. Don't walk in front of others to compete for fame and fortune, and don't fall behind others to accumulate virtue and cultivate one's morality. Keep your duty to what you deserve, and don't give up the standards you should abide by when you cultivate your self-cultivation.
