Excerpt appreciation
Gewu", "Enlightenment", "Sincerity", "Righteousness", "Self-cultivation", "Qi Family", "Governing the Country", and "Leveling the World" are the "Eight Eyes" in the "University", and these "Eight Eyes" are the core ideas of the "University", because the later chapters of the "University" are all explaining the "Eight Eyes" and explaining how to achieve the highest state of the "Three Outlines" through the practice of "Eight Eyes and Keys".
Confucianism regards the orderly advance and retreat, the orderly growth and young of the "Qi Family Hand", as a process that a person must go through to adulthood. The first step to society is to be able to work together in the family. People are individual people and social people, and they want to participate in a group, which is first the family, and then the country, and the implementation of cultivation or responsibility is also from "Qi family" to "governing the country".
In this sense, the relationship between the family and the individual is closely linked. People must start from themselves, strive to improve their own moral cultivation and quality, and set an example in order to do what they say and do.
Righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world. >>>More
