What is "The Mean" and "University" about?

Translation: The purpose of the university is to promote the integrity of the moral character, to learn and apply it to life, so that people can achieve the most perfect state. Only by knowing the realm that should be achieved can we be determined; Only with firm ambition can we be calm and not impatient; Only by being calm and not impatient can you have peace of mind; Peace of mind is the only way to be able to think carefully; Thoughtfulness is the only way to make a difference.

Everything has a root and an end, and everything has a beginning and an end. If we understand this truth, we will approach the law of the development of things.

In ancient times, those who wanted to promote the integrity and virtue of the world must first govern their own country; If you want to govern your country well, you must first manage your own family and clan well; If you want to manage your family and clan well, you must first cultivate your own character.

If you want to cultivate your own character, you must first correct your mind; If you want to correct your mind, you must first make your mind sincere; If you want to make your thoughts sincere, you must first ** the principle of things.

Wisdom can be obtained through the principle of things. Only when you gain wisdom and ideas can you be sincere; Only when the mind is sincere can the mind be correct; Only after the mind is correct can we cultivate character; Only after cultivating character can we manage the family and clan well; Only when the family and clan are well managed can the country be governed; Only after the country is well governed can the world be peaceful. From the head of state to the common people, everyone must take the cultivation of character as the foundation.

If this root is disturbed, it is impossible for the family, the clan, the country, and the world to be governed well. It is equally impossible to put the cart before the horse and try to do things well, regardless of priorities.
