Kangxi worked hard all his life, and was serious about self-cultivation, family harmony and world peace. It can be said that he has exhausted his hard work and energy. In the 60 years of Kangxi's reign, he was well-governed and well-established, which was universally recognized. He cherishes his career very much and is eager to pass it on to future generations. He believes that every experience in his life will benefit future generations.
Kangxi once said to his ministers, "I often think of the important tasks entrusted by my ancestors. The education of the prince should be grasped early and managed early, and dare not neglect it. Get up before dawn, personally check and supervise the schoolwork, and the Prince of the East Palace and all the ministers go to the temple to recite the scriptures one by one. As for the sunset, let them learn Chinese characters, practice shooting and talk late into the night. From beginning of spring to the end of the year, one day is not long. 」
Bai Jin, a French missionary, told the French emperor Louis XIV about the practice of Kangxi's godson. Bai Jin said in his report: Emperor China's example of fatherly love is admirable. The emperor of China paid special attention to the moral education of the vassals, and tried to carry out various trainings commensurate with their status, teaching them classics, poetry, calligraphy and painting, music, geometry, astronomy, riding and shooting, swimming, firearms and so on.
Stand firm and overcome selfish desires
Zhu Ziyun said: "People are uneasy when they do bad things. This is conscience. But blocked by selfish desires, although there are clues, there is no effort to obtain them. You must concentrate on fighting him, not losing to him. Knowing this is not good, stand firm and take a good road. When you are mature, you can't just live for yourself. This passage is the most important place for people to establish their hearts. Conscience can overcome selfish desires, and it is also the way for saints to be virtuous. If you want to build your body and mind, you should study it in detail.
Keep your mind, your body and your body realistic and get it from yourself.
Zhu Ziyun said: "The method of reading should be gradual, persistent, leisurely between reading sentences and meaning, experiencing reality in practice, then calming down to understand and gradually seeing meaning." Otherwise, it is beneficial to learning, although it is extensive and learning, it is also beneficial to learning! This statement is the most important reading content. When reading, people originally want to keep their hearts and bodies and seek truth from themselves. Otherwise, what's the use of reading this book? All scholars should take this as a lesson.
You are reluctant to give up, but you get the taste of books.
Zhu Ziyun said: "When reading, you should read what you are reluctant to give up, so that you can get the real taste of the book. I've read too much, and I'm tired of its meaning at a glance. If you want another book, you won't be interested in it. This statement is extremely correct. I have tried to read books with indignation since I was a child. When I read something, I will stick to my theory and remember it. I have read through it for several years, and it is appropriate to explain it in detail. Zhu Zisi said that all readers should know.
Learning virtue depends on history.
As the saying goes, when a mortal enters Germany to study, everything begins with reading. I have read too many books, lost my appetite, reduced the cost, reduced the cost, reduced the business demand and improved the quality. The method of reading is based on classics. If the classics are profound, look at history. By observing history, we can know people's virtue and folly, and gain and loss are well understood. Therefore, you can talk about anything, and don't ask the rich and the poor when reading. Reading a volume has the advantages of a volume; A day's study will be good for you. The master was so angry that he forgot to eat and sleep and learned nothing.
For nine mountains, we can't ignore one thing.
As the saying goes, there has never been knowledge, knowledge and difficulties, and there has never been success. If you study for a long time, you can't reach it, but you can't wait for progress, especially you can't give up halfway. "The Book" says: "The disaster in jiusan, if it is not reached, it will be already." I feel sorry for those who give up halfway.
The contribution of learning is not beyond daily use.
As the saying goes, learning is not only for daily use, but also for physical examination, so we should be careful in our words and deeds, honor our parents at home, and read handouts when we are poor. It is easy to approach, that is, it can exert its strength today; There is no time to delay. It is easy to use force today. A day's hard work will have a day's effect. If you are in doubt, if it is difficult to find someone, you will grow and understand, and you can't measure it. If we don't go all out and live a youthful life today, even if we learn from the virtuous one day, it may not be beneficial.
Poor management, knowledge and action.
As the saying goes, "poor management is not one end, and harvest is not one place." . From reading, from talking, from thinking, from doing. Although you have read a lot, you can speak fast, think deeply and do it. This language is the most appropriate, and scholars who are interested in knowing things should know it.
Patience will make you feel good for a while.
Xun said: there is nothing in the world that can't be passed. I won't feel anything after a while. In other words, every little thing such as chickens and dogs between the neighbors of the township party triggered a lawsuit and was officially informed; Or because of a joke, there was a fight. All this, not because of a little anger, but also because of a big argument. Confucius said, "A little tolerance leads to great mischief." The sage's words make sense.
Listen to fate as much as you can.
As the saying goes, "Listen to your destiny as best you can." To zai, that is to say! It is natural for people to do their best. It is necessary for farmers to cultivate regularly, but it is not necessary to apologize. The deficiency is to give up its field and take chances; Those who are uneasy about listening are also the elders who help the seedlings. Confucius made the best use of his talents. I can't get: "There is life." Is to let fate take its course
Learn to cultivate one's morality, and you can also cultivate one's morality.
As the saying goes: learn to raise your heart, so cultivate your self. If you can't stand the cover of distractions, you will have a clear soul, peaceful blood and gas, and a good end will come, which is also a kind of internal and external mutual support.
God's meditation and spiritual harmony
Zhuangzi said: "Don't strain your figure, don't shake your essence." He quoted more Sang Zi as saying: "Don't let you think of the camp." Gai Xiao thought that with such nourishing spirit, little lust and reticence, intellectual care could have kept health. It is the old shape, and the instrument of life is also; Heart is the master of form; God, so will the heart. God is quiet, his heart is harmonious, and his heart is harmonious and complete. Quiet and refreshing, and then self-satisfied; If you live in your heart, you will not be tempted; God is calm and sober, so he is not tired.
Lessons from the past.
Xun said: in the ancient and modern theory of name and secret, advice can be found everywhere. It is diligent and painful, urging and demanding repeatedly, trying to make people listen. People who have been married for thousands of years or less, people who have been married for thousands of years or longer, why are they concerned and exhorted? If so, I want to use a famous saying to remind people who have been married for a thousand years or less, so that they can learn from the past and learn from the future. I learned to read sage books, how can I skip them directly? Therefore, I often teach people to read ancient books. I must read the author's painstaking efforts and not betray my predecessors.
