Achieve perfection. This sentence is the first of the four ancient books, University. At the beginning of the book, there is such a sentence: "The way of university is clear in virtue, close to the people and stop at perfection." It means that the fundamental thing for adults to learn is to cultivate self-cultivation, devote themselves to the world with their own achievements in Tao and morality, enter the mass society in person, get close to the people, serve the people, and finally reach a perfect realm.

Stop at the best. The so-called "supreme goodness" comes from "university" in the four books, and "the way of university, Mingde is close to the people and stops at supreme goodness", which is taken from the first sentence at the beginning of "University". Zhu called it the "three major programs" in universities. Since it is called a program, its importance is self-evident. It can be considered that Zhu's interpretation of the three programs is a grasp of the overall spirit of the university. As for the so-called "eight items", it is just a concrete derivation of three schemes.
