1. Urgent use of poems about excellent moral character

Chinese intellectuals have always attached great importance to spiritual cultivation. Zhuge Liang earnestly warned his disciples at the beginning of "The Book of Commandments" to "cultivate one's morality through tranquility and cultivate virtue through frugality", that is, to maintain a pure heart and few desires in order to cultivate noble moral sentiments. In this short article, the atmosphere of "indifferent" and "tranquil" permeates everywhere. However, if we read a transcendent, non-utilitarian attitude towards life from "The Book of Commandments", we are willing to take "indifferent" and "tranquility" as our mottos, so as to rest our souls and become spiritually self-sufficient. Or, is this the original intention of Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments"?

"Without indifference, there is no clear ambition, and without tranquility, there is no way to reach far." Obviously, "indifferent" and "tranquility" are necessary conditions for "clear aspirations" and "reaching far", and "clear aspirations" and "reaching far" It is the ultimate goal of "indifferent" and "tranquility". Zhuge Liang emphasized in the "Book": "Learning requires tranquility, and talent requires learning; without learning, one cannot expand talents, and without ambition, one cannot achieve learning." That is to say, being determined to learn and studying quietly are means and processes; cultivation Learning and increasing talents are the goals. So what is the purpose of increasing talents? Friends who understand our country's historical bargaining know that the difference between the restoration advocated by Chinese intellectuals as an inner moral practice and the self-cultivation emphasized by worldly religious scholars lies in its strong worldly spirit. Zhuge Liang is no exception. The knowledge of cultivating one's mind and cultivating one's moral character discussed in "The Book of Commandments" has a clear ultimate direction, which is to "receive the world" - to be used by the world and be useful to the world! It is beneficial to the country and society. This is the whole meaning of Zhuge Liang's "tranquility" and "Zhiyuan"!

Zhuge Liang "farmed in Nanyang, surviving in troubled times, and did not seek to learn and reach the princes", which can be described as "indifferent" and "tranquil". However, he was worried about the country and had the ambition to clarify the world, and he made unremitting efforts for a long time to this end, which made Liu Bei, a talented and resourceful man, feel like "a fish in water"; he helped Liu Bei join forces with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao and achieve the imperial cause; Liu Chan worked hard to govern, dedicated himself to death, and died. From this, it is not difficult for us to see Zhuge Liang's lifelong dedication to "Zhiyuan" 2. Ancient poems describing moral character
