子谓伯鱼曰，女为周南召南矣乎，人而不为周南召南，其犹正墙面而立也与。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子对儿子伯鱼说：你研习过《周南》《召南》了吗？一个人如果不研习《周南》《召南》，那就像面对着墙壁站着一样，什么也看不见、寸步难行啊。

James Legge Translation

The Master said to Po-yu, "Do you give yourself to the Chau-nan and the Shao-nan. The man who has not studied the Chau-nan and the Shao-nan, is like one who stands with his face right against a wall. Is he not so?"
