What is the full text of The Way of University?
The whole sentence is the way of the university, be moral and close to the people, and stop at perfection. The Confucian classic "University" is about. It means that the purpose of the university is to understand and realize the supreme moral nature of people, to push others, to help and educate others, and to make them moral people. The final result is to achieve and maintain the highest goodness of mankind through moral cultivation. "Ming Ming De" means enlightenment; Practicing to help the world means "being close to the people"; "Stop at the best" is a transcendence of holiness, reaching the realm of harmony between man and nature. These are the three outlines of a mortal becoming a saint.

Extended data:

At the beginning of the university, the way of the university is to show virtue, be close to the people and stop at perfection. This is the pursuit of the three cardinal guides and eight aims of Confucianism. The so-called "three cardinal guides" means to point out morality, be close to the people and stop at perfection. This is the gist of the program of "University" and the goal 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 will find that all the theories of Confucianism actually develop along these three cardinal guides and eight orders.
