If you know the order, you will find a shortcut.

If the ancient desire is obviously superior to the world, rule the country first; If you want to govern your country, you should first get your family together; If you want to reunite with your family, you should first repair your body; If you want to cultivate yourself, you should be upright first; If you want to be correct, be sincere first; Be sincere, let him know first; Knowledge exists in things.

Things are known; Knowing it is sincere; Sincerity before righteousness; Put your mind right and practice again; After the body is repaired, the family is clean and tidy; Family harmony, and then national governance; The country rules and the world is at peace. From Tian Zi to Shu Ren, one is based on self-cultivation. Those who are chaotic and not treated will be denied. Thick is thin, thin is thick, nothing!

The Creation Background and Author Brief Introduction of The Road to the University;

First, the creative background:

The Way of University is a suicide note left by Confucius and his disciples, and it is an introductory reading of Confucianism. Therefore, Zhu listed it as the first of the "four books".

Zhu also thought that the book "University" contained in the Book of Rites was disordered, so he rearranged it and divided it into two parts: classics and biography.

Among them, the "Jing" chapter is the original words of Confucius, recorded by Ceng Zi, a student of Confucius; The ten chapters of Biography are Ceng Zi's understanding and exposition of "Jing", which were recorded by students in Ceng Zi. With this arrangement, we have the version of "University" that we see today.
