Not knowing the person and negative thoughts
Confucius was the very first scholar in China. When you take the historical background of his time into consideration. In other words, the part you said was "to study at the right time" could refer to social events throughout the year. The part about friends visiting refers to welcoming and entertaining important guests from other villages at those events. Also, the part about not knowing the person and negative thoughts could be interpreted as working behind the scenes at those events and rituals without complaining about the hard work. What do you think of this interpretation?
?I failed to get the meaning of the underlined part alone. Could/Would you explain what that means?
