Chapter 20 of The Doctrine of the Mean was originally an article in Xiao Dai's Book of Rites. The author is Zi Si, a descendant of Confucius, who was revised and collated by scholars in Qin Dynasty. The doctrine of the mean was highlighted by scholars in the Song Dynasty. There are more than 100 articles discussing the golden mean in the Song Dynasty, and Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi in the Northern Song Dynasty highly praised them. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu wrote The Doctrine of the Mean, which is called the "Four Books" together with The University, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, The Doctrine of the Mean became an official textbook and a must-read in the imperial examination, which had a great influence on ancient education. The doctrine of the mean is human nature, neither good nor evil. From the perspective of human nature, it is the origin of human nature and the essence of human fundamental wisdom. In essence, it is a "critical point" expressed in modern words and a "golden mean" that is difficult to grasp.
analyse
"erudition, interrogation, deliberation, discernment and faithfulness" comes from the twentieth chapter of the Doctrine of the Mean. This is about several levels of learning, or several progressive stages. "erudition" means that in order to learn, we must first search widely and cultivate rich and exuberant curiosity. Without curiosity, the desire to learn disappears and erudition becomes impossible. "Bo" also means broad and inclusive. Only by being broad and inclusive can we be inclusive, and learning can have a world vision and an open mind, and truly achieve "tolerance and tolerance", and then "love all the people and be kind to others." So erudition can be the first stage of learning. After this stage, learning is a rootless tree and passive water. "Interrogation" is the second stage. If you don't understand something, you should ask to the end and doubt what you have learned. After asking questions, you should carefully examine and analyze them through your own ideological activities, otherwise what you have learned will not be used for yourself, but for "careful thinking." "Demonstration" is the fourth stage. Learning is becoming clearer and clearer. If you don't argue, the so-called "erudition" will be mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. "Practice" is the last stage of learning, that is, since you have learned something, you must work hard to implement what you have learned, so that you can finally implement what you have learned and achieve "unity of knowledge and action". "Benedict" means loyalty, down-to-earth, single-minded and persistent. Only people with clear goals and firm will can truly "believe".
