2. From Zhu's Zhuzi School:

To learn, you must first make up your mind. If the ambition is established, then learning can focus on it. If you are not sure, you will accomplish nothing.

Vernacular: The first thing you need to learn is to set up your ambition. After sorting out your ambitions, you can work hard according to your own ambitions. If a person's ambition is not firm enough, there is no way to achieve great things in the end.

It is believed that reason is the essence of the world, "reason comes first, and qi comes later", and it is proposed that "justice should be preserved and human desires should be destroyed".

2. Zhu is knowledgeable. He has studied Confucian classics, history, literature, music and even natural science. His lyrics are beautiful in language and handsome in style, and there is no disease of heavy color or allusion.

3. It can be seen that the terms of many works are well thought out and more particular. However, the artistic conception of his ci is a little more rational than emotional, which is because he pays attention to the philosophical thought of Neo-Confucianism.
