2. stop at the source of perfection.
"Book of Rites University": "The way of a university is to be well-known and close to the people, and stop at perfection. Zhi Zhi then has a decision, then he can be quiet, then he can be calm, then he can be safe, then he can think about it, and then he can get it. "
Translation:
"Book of Rites University" says: "The purpose of a university is to carry forward noble virtues, care for the people and reach the highest state of perfection. Only when you know that you want to achieve the state of' perfection' can you determine your goals. After you have set your goals, you can be quiet, stable and not chaotic, thoughtful, and achieve' the best'. "
Comments:
"University" talks about the knowledge of governing the country and leveling the world, but according to Confucius' thought, it does not talk about the matter, but puts the promotion of people's spiritual and moral cultivation in the first place. The purpose of "Ming Ming De" is to carry forward one's inner virtue and inspire the readers to improve their consciousness, instead of restraining themselves with some external and fixed moral standards. "Being close to the people", that is, "being new to the people", should not only consciously cultivate one's morality, but also strive to improve the moral quality of all citizens. In Confucianism's view, this is to lay a spiritual foundation for the great cause of governing the country and leveling the world. To "stop at perfection" means to improve one's moral quality and social governance to the most perfect level, and never stop until the ideal level is reached. In fact, it is an infinite process of ascension.
3. Stop at the best example.
The university spirit of "Ming De Xin Min, stop at the best" lasts for a long time and has become a consistent and unchanging insistence of several generations.
Only when a person stands on a high place, lives on a flat ground and stops in the best place will the road of life get wider and wider.
