This document appears to be a chapter from The Analects of Confucius describing interactions between Confucius and two of his disciples, Zengzi and Ziyou. The chapter discusses Confucius telling Zengzi that his doctrine can be woven into a single thread, with Zengzi later explaining it is based on loyalty and reciprocity. It also describes Ziyou saying that being too officious in serving a lord will inevitably lead to disgrace and doing so among friends will lead to estrangement.

Confucius said: “Shen, my doctrine is all woven into a single thread.”
Zengzi replied: “Indeed.” After Confucius had left, the other disciples
asked: “What did he mean?” Zengzi said: “The doctrine of the Master
is based on loyalty and reciprocity; that and nothing more.”
