Abstract: In the relationship between the “classics” and the “Tao”, or between “classics → words → meaning → Tao”, we should notice that the classics and texts are concerned with hermeneutics, and the same is true to the words and meanings of the sages. Therefore, “deviating from the classics” is not necessarily “rebellious against the Tao” though the Chinese idiom goes the other way. Conversely, “deferring to the classics” or “adhering to the classics” may not be able to “attain the Tao”. The reasons stand behind are: the “classics” or “books” can not exhaust the “words” of one sage, and the “words” from him can not fully tell the “meaning” intended to convey, and the “meaning” delivered can not exhaust the “Tao” itself. Even so, we still need to “speak”, and still need “meaning”, “words” and the “classics”.

Key words: confucianism, confucian classics, interpretation
