Original text:
A gentleman's journey is quiet to cultivate one's morality, and frugal to cultivate one's morality. Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. If you study quietly, you must study. If you don't study, you won't learn widely. If you have no ambition, you can't succeed.
Translation:
People with moral cultivation perfect themselves through meditation and introspection, and cultivate their noble character through thrift. Without a clear heart and desire, you can't make your ambition clear and firm. Without a stable and quiet environment, you can't realize your lofty ideals and study hard for a long time. To learn true knowledge, we must study and discuss it peacefully, and human talents are accumulated from continuous learning; If you don't study hard, you can't grow and develop your talents; If you don't have firm will, you can't succeed in your studies.

"Jade is uncut, abrasive; People don't learn and don't know. " However, jade is a thing, and there is constant Changde; Although it is not a tool, it does no harm to jade. It is human nature to move because of things. If you don't learn, you will be yourself. A villain is not a gentleman, but you have to learn! Pay for the game.
Translation:
Jade is not cut, not a tool; If you don't study, you won't understand the truth. However, jade has eternal characteristics. Even if it is not ground into something, it is still jade and will not be damaged. Human nature will change when it is influenced by external things. Therefore, if people don't study, they will lose the noble character of a gentleman and become villains with bad conduct. Isn't it worth pondering?

Qing Li Yu Xiu's Disciple Rule
Original text:
Learning literature without practice will become flashy. But in practice, don't study literature, be self-righteous and ignore the truth. There are three ways to read, heart and mouth, and faith. Fonz, don't admire him. Don't get up until it's all over. Patience is the limit. Work hard. Time is up. If you have doubts, follow the notes, people will ask and seek truth. The room is clean, the walls are clean, several cases are clean, and the ink and stone are correct. Ink grinding is partial, the heart is improper, the words are disrespectful, and the heart is sick first. List classics, there is a fixed place, to read, to restore. Although there is an emergency, the volume is neat and there is a defect, which must be repaired. It's not a holy book. Don't look. We're smart and bad. Don't give up on yourself, don't give up on yourself, be virtuous and docile.
Translation:
If you don't work hard to be filial, filial, honest, faithful, loving and kind, reading only will increase your flashy habits, then how can you become a really useful person? If you just work hard and don't learn and listen to your own knowledge, you will deviate from the essence and law of things and be unreasonable. The method of reading is to achieve "three", that is, heart, eyes and mouth. You can't start reading another book before you finish reading this book. Reading should be planned, reading a book should have sufficient time limit, and once you have a plan, you should study hard. As long as the time is up, you will naturally understand. If you have any problems, write them down on paper at any time and ask the teacher for advice, then you can get the real answer. The study should be neat, the surrounding walls should be kept clean, the desk should be clean, and pens, ink and inkstones should be properly placed. Grinding ink on the inkstone and grinding the ink stick off-center, this is absent-minded, unfocused and the handwriting is not serious. This is impetuous thinking and can't settle down. Organize books, put them in a fixed place, and put them back after reading. Even in an emergency, you should tidy up before you leave. When books are damaged, they should be repaired immediately to keep them intact. Books that are not sages should be excluded from reading, so as not to ruin our pure ambition.

Loyalty and awe are the foundation of life. If the children are at home, they don't respect their fathers and brothers.
