Zhong Er Bu Yi

Non-PRO Chinese汉语译成English英语 艺术/文学 影院、影片、电视、戏剧
This is a proverb used in a TV show about taking the official exams that will determine your professional career in ancient China. I just need to know what it means, either in Chinese or English is fine.

Thanks!

more context Well there are actually two proverbs that the imperial exam administrators talk about: Zhong Er Bu Yi/Qiang Zai Jiao Yi. I would like to know what each one means.

please provide more context
Christian Dye Feb 4, 2013:
学而不已 It could have a similar meaning to this. I've searched through several dictionaries and haven't found anything useful. 学而不已 means that sometimes things are better on paper; it's not enough to study, you also have to know how to put things into practice.

The official exams in ancient China were referred to as the Imperial Exams.

中而不倚、强哉矫义

出自《中庸》：“夫子答子路之问强、而复进之于君子又曰、中立而不倚、强哉矫。……”

我所找到的意思是：为人处世，始终有自己坚持的原则，不偏不倚。

let me know if you require answer in english.
