Explanation:

What is shown here is the pursuit of the three cardinal guides and eight aims of Confucianism. The so-called "three cardinal" refers to the perfection of virtue, new talent and restraint. It is not only the program purport of "University", but also the goal of "teaching from the world" of Confucianism. The so-called "eight eyes" refers to discipline, knowledge, sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world. It is not only an introductory kung fu designed to realize the "three cardinal guides", but also a life learning ladder displayed by Confucianism. Looking at the Four Books and Five Classics, we find that all the theories of Confucianism actually develop along these three cardinal principles and eight orders. Therefore, mastering these three basic principles and eight orders is equivalent to mastering a key to open the door of Confucianism. Step by step along this learning ladder, you will walk into the room and feel the classic meaning of cowardice. As far as the ladder itself is concerned, it actually includes two aspects: "internal repair" and "external treatment": the first four levels of "discipline, knowledge, honesty and correctness" are "internal repair"; The last three principles of "managing the family, governing the country and calming the world" are "external governance". The middle part of "self-cultivation" is the hub connecting "annual cultivation" and "external treatment", which is connected with the previous "internal cultivation" project and is "independent"; It is related to the next item of "external governance", that is, "doing good to the world." For more than 2,000 years, generations of China intellectuals have laid their lives on this ladder. "If you are poor, you will be immune to it, and if you are up to it, you will help the world" ("Mencius"). Therefore, in essence, it is not only a series of timid learning steps, but also a life pursuit ladder with strong realistic color. It has cast the personality psychology of China intellectuals from generation to generation, and it still plays a subtle role in us. Whether you are conscious or unconscious, whether you are positive or negative, the concept of "discipline, dedication, honesty, honesty, cultivation, equality, governance and equality" always affects your thoughts or actions implicitly or obviously, so that you finally find that your life course is only carried out on the ladder of Confucian knowledge. In fact, as intellectuals in China, how many people are really wild crane hermits who made their debut in Buddhism? In the final analysis, there are still ten people and nine Confucianism, that's all.
