The famous saying "not indifferent, not clear, not quiet, not far away" comes from Zhuge Liang's Commandments. \ r \ nA A gentleman's trip is to cultivate one's morality by quietness and frugality. Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. If you study quietly, you must study. If you don't study, you won't learn widely. If you have no ambition, you can't succeed. If you are slow, you can't be energetic, and if you are dangerous, you can't be radical. Time goes by, meaning goes by, and then becomes withered, not meeting the world, and staying in a poor house sadly. What will happen? \r\n\r\n \\ "Indifference means ignorance, while quietness means no distance." From the Book of Commandments written by Zhuge Liang to his 8-year-old son Zhuge Zhan at the age of 54. This is not only a summary of Zhuge Liang's life experience, but also a requirement for his son. Here Zhuge Liang used the sentence pattern of "double negation" and expressed his teachings and infinite expectations for his son in a strong euphemistic tone. In modern words, it is: "If you don't look down on the immediate fame and fortune, you won't have a clear ambition, you won't be able to concentrate on your studies calmly, and you won't be able to achieve your lofty goals."
