The so-called "three cardinals" means morality, being close to the people and stopping 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. ?

The influence of The Book of Rites University;
As an article in The Book of Rites, Daxue has a direct inspiration to Confucianism. Especially after the rise of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, imperial examinations played a great role. After the Song Dynasty, almost every scholar was influenced by the university. "University" emphasizes the improvement of learners' moral cultivation and the spirit of caring for and participating in society, which is of positive significance for forming a good social atmosphere and promoting social development.
The idea of "cultivation, equality, governance and equality" put forward by "University" has almost become the only standard ideal for scholars. This thought advocates active life, pays attention to self-cultivation, cares about people's sufferings, strives to improve people's livelihood, maintains social stability and supports unity, which has played an important role in social prosperity and stability.
