【述而不作】〖shù ér bù zuò〗[pass on the ancient culture without adding anything new to it; only elaborate the theories of the predecessors and do not have original ideas of one's own; pass on the ancient culture and not to create]

述事继志私制返，

而功不德寡头官。

不卑不亢搞腐败，

作小服低成内奸。

只叙述和阐明前人的学说，自己不创作。Only describe and elucidate theories of predecessors, own do not creation.同：人云亦云、照本宣科。反：别开生面、独树一帜。
