The doctrine of the Three Realms of the Kingdom of Peace

Wang Guowei's "Words in the World": "Those who have achieved great careers and university questions in ancient and modern times must pass through three realms: 'Last night the west wind withered the green trees.

Go up to the tall building alone and look at the end of the world'. This first realm also. 'The belt gradually widened, and he did not regret it, and he made people haggard for Yi.

This second realm also. 'The crowd looked for him for a thousand and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim.' This third realm also.

Last night the west wind withered the green trees. Go up to the tall building alone and look at the end of the world'. The original meaning of Yan Shu's "Butterfly Love Flower" is that I went up to the tall building to look out, and what I saw was a more sassy autumn scene, with yellow leaves in the west wind, wide mountains and long waters, and how to reach the case book?

Wang Guowei borrowed the topic to play, to see the big from the small, and to solve the problem of learning to become a big career, first of all, we must have a persistent pursuit, climb high and look far, look at the path, clarify the goal and direction, and understand the overview of things. This is the stage of philosophical perceptual understanding, so it is called the first realm of learning.

'The belt gradually widened, and he did not regret it, and he made people haggard for Yi. The words come from Liu Yong's "Butterfly Love Flower" in the Northern Song Dynasty. The original intention is to express the hardships and regrets of the author's love.

If the word "Yi" is understood as the ideal pursued by the poet and the career he has engaged in all his life, it is not indispensable. Wang Guowei has ulterior motives, and uses these two sentences to compare it to a big career and a university questioner, which is not easy and casual, and must be unswerving. This is Wang Guowei's accurate expression of his attitude and means of learning.

'The crowd looked for him for a thousand and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim.' The words come from the Southern Song Dynasty Xin Qiji's "Qingyu Case". Liang Qichao called this word "self-pity and loneliness, and sad people have no embrace".

This is a loanword. Wang Guowei takes the last four sentences of this word as the third of the "realm", that is, the ultimate highest realm, although it is not the original meaning of Xin Qiji, but it can also lead to a long and distant meaning: those who do learning and become a great career, in order to reach the third realm, must have the spirit of concentration, repeatedly pursue, study, and make great efforts, and they will naturally suddenly penetrate, discover, and invent, and they will be able to enter the kingdom of freedom from the kingdom of necessity.

To be able to extend this aspect, Wang Guowei's cleverness must be said.

The first realm means that those who become great in learning must first have persistent pursuit, clear goals and directions, and understand the general picture of things. The second realm means that those who have a great career and ask questions in universities are not easy and can be obtained casually, but must be unswerving and forget to sleep and eat. The third realm means that we must have a focused spirit, repeatedly pursue, study, discover, and invent, so that we can enter the kingdom of freedom from the kingdom of necessity.

Wang Guowei (December 3, 1877, June 2, 1927), the first name Guozhen, the word Jing'an, also the word Boyu, the first number of the auditorium, the evening number of the Guantang, also known as the Yongguan, the loyalty of the people. Han nationality, Haining Prefecture, Zhejiang Province (now Haining, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province).

In his early years, Wang Guowei pursued new learning, accepted the influence of bourgeois reformist thought, integrated Western philosophy and aesthetic thought with Chinese classical philosophy and aesthetics, studied philosophy and aesthetics, and formed a unique aesthetic ideological system.

As an outstanding scholar and internationally renowned scholar in the history of modern Chinese scholarship, Wang Guowei has been engaged in literature, history and philosophy for decades, and is the first pioneer in modern China to use Western philosophical, aesthetic and literary views and methods to analyze and comment on Chinese classical literature.

Wang Guowei has three sentences in the preface of the emperor, which he calls the three realms, that is, "the west wind withered the green tree last night." Go up to the west building alone and look at the end of the world. "This is the first realm.

'The belt gradually widened, and he did not regret it, and he made people haggard for Yi. "This is the second realm. The crowd looked for her thousands, and suddenly looked back, but the person was in the dim light.

This is the third realm. ”。"Three realms" is his reading experience, but also his reading know-how.

The first realm is to borrow Yan Shu's words, which is to do learning, first of all, we must have the courage to climb the spirit of the peak, and we must do everything possible to climb high and look far, "look at the end of the world", broaden our horizons, and seek the treasure of knowledge.

The second realm is to borrow Liu Yong's words, which means that in the process of studying, you must endure hardships and not be afraid of losing a few catties of meat.

The third realm is to borrow the word Xin Qiji, which means that as long as you are well-read, insist on repeated deep years and perseverance to study, and be familiar with reading and thinking, when you reach a certain time, you will suddenly open up, make discoveries, and create.
