This outlook on life requires paying attention to personal cultivation and embracing positive goals. This kind of cultivation and requirement is mainly based on Confucian morality. The three cardinal guides and eight aims have class nature, and "virtue" and "supreme goodness" are the political requirements and ethical standards of feudalism for monarchs. Eight items, such as "discipline" and "knowledge", require the combination of political ideas and ethical thoughts in the three programs in terms of self-cultivation.
As an extension of The Book of Rites, Daxue has a direct inspiration to the thoughts of Han and 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.
