This sentence is from the Book of Rites University. University was originally Article 42 of the Book of Rites. In the Song Dynasty, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi brothers took them out of the Book of Rites and compiled chapters and sentences. Zhu called Daxue, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius and Mencius as four books, and Daxue became a Confucian classic. As for the author of Da Xue, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi thought it was "Kong's last words".

"The way of a university is to be moral, close to the people and stop at perfection" comes from the first chapter of "University"-classic.

(Zhu reorganized the university into one chapter "Classic" and ten chapters "Biography". That "the words of Confucius, cover a chapter, Ceng Zi said; The tenth chapter is the meaning of Ceng Zi, and the master remembers it. " In other words, "Jing" is the words of Confucius and recorded by Ceng Zi; "Biography" is the interpretation of "Jing", which is recorded by students. )
