Origin:
The word "learning to reach nature" was inscribed by Kangxi, but its thought originated from pre-Qin Confucianism, and its origin can be found in The Analects of Confucius, The Doctrine of the Mean, Mencius and Guodian Bamboo Slips "Sexual Preceding".
The origin of "learning to reach nature" can be divided into "learning to reach" and "nature"
"Learning" comes from Chapter 35 of The Analects of Confucius: Confucius said, "I know nothing except my husband!" Zi Gong said, "Where is its ignorance?" Confucius said, "I don't complain about heaven, I don't care about people, I got it from school." It's great to know me! "It can be seen that the first two words in" Learning while learning "mean" going to school to reach heaven ".
Confucius said, "No one knows me!" Zi Gong said, "How can you say that no one knows you?" Confucius said: "I don't complain about heaven or people." I study etiquette and music to complete my mission. Only God knows me! "
"Nature is heaven" means "golden mean", "Destiny is nature, frankness is Tao, and cultivation is teaching."
Man's natural endowment is called "nature", acting according to nature is called "Tao", and practicing according to the principle of "Tao" is called "teaching". ?
