The book "University" is a method of teaching people in ancient universities. Since people are born from heaven, they should be benevolent, courteous and wise. But the nature of his temperament is different, and it is impossible to know his nature in everything. As long as there is a smart and wise person who can do his best in the meantime, God will order him to be a trillion-dollar teacher, let him rule and teach him to restore his nature. This Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, Yao, Shun, therefore, followed the heavens to establish the pole, and Si Tuleideng and Dianle officials were also established.
Three On Behalf Oflong, its immersion method, and harem, capital, alley, all have to learn. At the age of eight, he was under the vassal. As for the children in Shu Ren, they all went to primary school and taught them to sweep the floor, cope, advance and retreat, be polite, be happy, shoot at the palace and write some books. Moreover, in more than ten years and five years, from the son of the son of heaven, to the son of the public, the Qing Dynasty, the doctor, the king of Yuan Zhen, and the beauty of all people have all entered the university, and they have all been educated to be poor, upright, self-disciplined and govern the people. This is also the difference between school teaching and the size of festivals.
My husband is based on the school, so extensive, the skills of teaching, the details of the first program, and the reason why he is teaching is because he has learned from his own efforts, and he has learned from the people's livelihood that waits for no time, except for daily life. People who learn how to do it all know what their essence is and what their duties are, and they do their best. When the ancient times flourished, the rule was above it, and the vulgar beauty was inferior, which was beyond the reach of future generations!
With the decline of the Zhou dynasty, the holy king quit, school politics did not improve, and customs declined. Sometimes, if Confucius is a saint, he can't be a teacher to carry out his politics and religion, so he memorizes the laws of his ancestors and passes them on to future generations. If Quli, Shao Yi, Internal Rules and Disciples Rules have consolidated the remaining descendants of the tributaries of primary schools, the scale of this article is particularly large, and some of them try their best to show the details of their programs because of the success of primary schools. Of the 3,000 people, Gammer didn't hear what he said, only "Biography of Zeng Family", so it was used as a biography to express its meaning. Mencius has no inheritance, but his books exist, and few people know them!
From the beginning, the study of reciting words and sentences in popular Confucianism was twice as effective as that in primary schools, and it was useless; Empty and silent heretical religion, higher than university, has no reality. Other tactics are based on fame and fortune and conform to the trend of a hundred schools of thought, so those who mislead the world, falsely accuse the people and fill the righteous with the righteous will be confused. Unfortunately, his gentleman was deprived of the importance of the avenue, and his villain was unfortunately deprived of the benefits of treatment. He is blind and blocked, repeatedly sinking, declining in five seasons, and it is extremely chaotic!
Fate is endless. Song Delong is prosperous and educated. So the two masters of the Cheng family in Henan came out, and some of them followed Meng's biography. At the beginning, I respected this article and expressed it, which not only made it an outline, but also made it interesting. Then the method of teaching people in ancient universities, the fingers of biblical sages, suddenly returned to earth. Although I am insensitive to Xi, I am also lucky to remain private and knowledgeable. Taking it as a book is still quite frustrating, so I just forget its simplicity, adopt it, compile it, and occasionally secretly attach my own ideas to make up for its shortcomings, so as to be a gentleman in the future. Knowing that there is nowhere to escape from transgression, however, there is no need to make up for it.

The book "University" is the law of ancient university teaching. Since the birth of mankind, no one has not been endowed with the nature of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom. However, people are born with different temperament, and it is impossible for us to know and keep all the nature endowed by heaven. If a wise man who can give full play to his original nature comes from among the people, God will appoint him as the monarch and teacher of the broad masses of the people, so that he can govern and educate the people and restore their original good nature. This is the reason why Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, Yao and Shun accepted the destiny and became the teachers and role models of the people, and it is also the reason why Si Tuleideng and Dianle, who educated the people, were founded.
When Xia, Shang and Zhou flourished, the school facilities and teaching methods were gradually complete, and there were schools in the palace, the capital and Luxiang. From the age of eight, from the prince to the children of ordinary people, all enter primary school. The contents of primary school teaching include: sprinkling water to sweep the floor, answering dialogues, treating people with courtesy, all kinds of etiquette and music and dance, archery and driving, writing and arithmetic. When they reach the age of fifteen, all sons of princes and monarchs who can inherit the throne, sons born to wives of princes, ministers and officials, and outstanding children of ordinary people will enter universities. The content of teaching is to make the educated know how to explore the truth of body and mind, and master the way of being upright, cultivating oneself and governing the country. Such school education, the teaching content and purpose of universities and primary schools are clearly divided.
The establishment of the school is so extensive, the order and content of teaching are so detailed and clear, and the content of teaching is people's experience and understanding, and it does not pursue whimsy beyond people's daily life and ethical knowledge. In this way, there will be no people in the world who don't study. These learners don't know what is inherent in human nature, and they don't know their responsibilities, so individuals will do their best. This is why when the ancient times flourished, there was the essence of politics in the world and the beauty of customs in the world, but later generations could not catch up.
After the decline of the Zhou dynasty, the holy king no longer appeared, the system of the above-mentioned philosophers was no longer implemented, education was separated from the world, and customs were decadent. At that time, even a sage like Confucius could not obtain the status of monarch and teacher to carry out his political enlightenment theory. So he set up a private school, imitated the method of the former king, recruited his disciples to study poems, books and historical documents, and first taught Wang Zhidao to his disciples, and then passed it on to his descendants. Articles such as Quli, Shao Yi, Internal Rules and Disciples Rules are all left over from primary school. The article "University" is based on what I learned in primary school, explaining the contents and methods of university teaching, which not only shows the framework of Confucianism and theoretical system, but also has clear contents and detailed chapters. More than 3,000 students of Confucius have heard of Confucius' words, and only Ceng Zi understood the true meaning, so he wrote a biography to clarify Confucius' original intention. After the death of Mencius, the tradition of "university" disappeared. Although the book "University" exists, too few people know its true meaning.
From then on, ordinary scholars have the habit of reading and memorizing words and phrases to write articles, which takes several times of primary school effort but is useless; The doctrine of nothingness and silence emphasized by heresy is higher than that of universities without reality; Other tactics, all preaching aimed at fame and fortune, demagoguery and obstruction of justice have come out one after another and become popular all over the world, making the upper class unfortunately unable to hear the essence of the avenue, making the ordinary people unfortunately unable to make political progress, dark and unknown, failing in politics and religion, and suffering from chronic diseases. When the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms declined, the chaos reached its extreme.
Fate is endless. Song Delong was born, educated and cultivated. So two gentlemen were born, Mr. Cheng from Henan, who can inherit the tradition of Mencius. They began to admire and commend this article, re-edit the ancient books handed down from generation to generation, and dig out the true meaning. Then, the methods of teaching people in ancient universities and the purpose of spreading the Bible were suddenly revealed to the world. Although I am not smart enough and agile enough, I am lucky to hear Mr. Cheng's theory from my teacher. It's just that many of Mr. Cheng's books have been lost, so regardless of his ignorance, he re-collated Cheng Shu, attached some of his own opinions in chapters and sentences, and made up the missing ones, waiting for future scholars to correct me. Self-knowledge transcends rank and rudeness, and there is no way to escape guilt. However, it is not without help for scholars to cultivate their own way of governing the country in order to make the country popular.
