Literary Common Sense] The Mean is one of the Confucian classics of the Four Books. "The Mean" was originally one of the "Book of Rites". The author is Zisi, a descendant of Confucius, and was later revised and sorted out by scholars of the Qin Dynasty.

The Golden Mean" was mentioned to a prominent position by scholars in the Song Dynasty, and there were no less than 100 articles in the Song Dynasty to explore the golden mean, and Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi of the Northern Song Dynasty strongly respected "The Mean". Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty also wrote "The Chapters and Sentences of the Mean", and called "The Mean" and "University", "Analects" and "Mencius" as the "Four Books". After the Song and Yuan dynasties, "The Mean" became an official textbook for schools and a compulsory reading for the imperial examination, which had a great impact on ancient education.

Moderation is the nature of a person who is neither good nor evil. From the perspective of human nature, it is the original nature of human nature, the fundamental wisdom nature of human beings. In essence, it is the "tipping point" in modern words, which is the "golden mean" that is difficult to grasp.

Translation] It is necessary to study extensively, seek advice in detail, think carefully, discern clearly, and practice in earnest. If you don't learn, you have to learn, if you don't learn, you will never end if you don't learn; If you don't seek advice, you will not stop until you understand it thoroughly; If you don't think about it, it's enough, since you think about it, you don't want to make a reason, and it will never end; If you don't discern, you will have it, and since you have discerned, you will never end until you discern and understand; If you don't do it, it's enough, and since you do it, if you don't really achieve perfection, it will never end.

Erudite, interrogative, thoughtful, discerning, and diligent. This refers to the several levels of learning, or rather the stages of progression. "Erudite" means that in order to learn, we must first hunt widely, and cultivate abundant and vigorous curiosity.

Curiosity is lost, the desire to learn dies, and erudition becomes impossible. "Bo" also means broadness and tolerance. Only broad-mindedness and tolerance can be inclusive, so that Weixue has a world vision and an open mind, and truly achieves "inclusiveness and tolerance", and then "love all people, and be kind".

Erudition is therefore the first stage of learning. Beyond this stage, learning is a tree without roots and water without a source. "Interrogation" is the second stage, and if there is any uncertainty, it is necessary to ask questions to the end, and to doubt what you have learned.

After asking, you should carefully investigate and analyze it through your own ideological activities, otherwise what you have learned cannot be used for yourself, and it is for "careful thinking". "Explicit argument" is the fourth stage. If you don't argue, the so-called "erudition" will be mixed, and it will be difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and there will be no distinction between good and bad.

"Practice" is the final stage of learning, that is, since there is something to learn, we must strive to practice what we have learned, so that what we have learned can finally be implemented, so as to achieve "the unity of knowledge and action". "Du" has the meaning of loyalty, steadfastness, single-mindedness, and perseverance. Only people with a clear goal and a firm will can truly "do it".

The school motto of "erudition and practice" is not only the words "erudition" and "practice", but the internal system of "erudition" and "practice", including "interrogation, prudence, and discernment".

First, the process of interconnection and interaction. Civil affairs people to achieve "the old, and the old; The "great harmony of the world" is our own responsibility, and it is impossible to take on this important responsibility without extraordinary skills. Only by taking "erudition and dedication" as the way to do learning, can we learn to rely on, learn to succeed, and learn to use, so that "love for all people" will not be a slogan and a formality. Hope.

Withholding and paying for standby time, oh, where to go on vacation, the seventh episode thinks.

The meaning of "erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, and practice" is that learning should be extensive, learning to ask questions and advice in a targeted manner, thoroughly understanding, learning to think carefully, forming clear judgment, and using the knowledge and ideas learned to guide practice. "Erudite, interrogating, prudent, discerning, and diligent in action" is from "The Book of Rites: The Mean".
