A scholar must first learn to doubt.

Every plant and tree has its reason.

Knowledge comes from thinking.

Scholars must be practical in their studies and not get too close to fame and fortune too early.

To nourish and nurture oneself, one must use sincerity and respect. The purpose of studying is to acquire knowledge and knowledge.

If you understand it, you must like it. If you like it, you must pursue it. If you pursue it, you must get it.

The teachings of saints are as smooth as the road, but scholars suffer from the difficulty of not being able to grasp the essentials of others.

If you don’t understand the truth, you won’t know where to go if you move; if you don’t move, then even if you understand the truth, it will be useless.

Everything has a beginning and an end. The beginning and the end are integrated. The beginning and end cannot be separated into two parts.

In nine cases out of ten, the will will activate the Qi, and in one out of ten cases, the Qi will cause the will to waver.

If you have your own mind, you will not be affected by external things.

Mencius’s theories on doing good deeds and nourishing Qi have not been expounded by the sages of previous generations.

A gentleman educates his students in an orderly manner. He first teaches them small and near things and principles, and then teaches them big and distant things and principles.

Everyone has their own strengths. If you can avoid the shortcomings and choose the strengths, you can use them. Excerpts from a collection of famous quotes by the Northern Song philosopher and educator Cheng Hao

Cheng Hao (ho) (1032-1085), a Northern Song philosopher, educator, poet and the founder of Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty.

His courtesy name was Bochun, his nickname was Mingdao, and he was known as Mr. Mingdao in the world. He was a native of Yichuan, Luocheng, Northern Song Dynasty (now Luoyang, Henan), and was born in Huangpi, Hubei. Jiayou was a Jinshi, and Zhongyun, the crown prince of the Shenzong Dynasty, supervised the censor Li Xing. Oppose Wang Anshi's New Deal. Academically, Cheng Hao proposed the principle of heaven and the proposition that the mind is heaven, and when it is exhausted, intelligence is the same. He believed that benevolent people are completely the same as things, and that justice, etiquette, knowledge and faith are all benevolent. If you understand this principle, you must keep it with sincerity and respect. (ibid.). Promote telepathy. Acknowledge the principles of heaven and earth and all things, and there must be a right without exception.

Cheng Hao's famous saying:

The heart is the source of Tao. There is such a mind, and there is such a form to give birth to. Compassion is the way of life.

Joking is not only harmful to others, but also affects ambitions. Not joking, it is also an end of Qi holding.

If the mind is determined, the words should be heavy and relaxed, and if the mind is uncertain, the words should be light and quick.

A scholar’s ??first priority is to fix his or her ambition.

After calming down, I can see that everything is naturally full of spring.

The sages have thousands of words, but they only want people to let go of their hearts and make promises to let them come into the body again and again, so that they can find their way up, learn from the bottom and reach the top.

The reason why people cannot rest at peace is that they are driven by desire.

If you read, your mind will always be there; if you don’t read, you will eventually lose sight of the truth.

When reading history, we must see the opportunities that sages have to control chaos. The advancement and retreat of wise men and gentlemen is the investigation of things.

Therefore, a good scholar must approach himself when seeking words. Those who are easy to approach are not those who know how to speak.

The study of principles and principles also needs to be profound in order to be successful, and cannot be obtained by being superficial and frivolous.

If the ambition is small, it will be easy to stop, and if it is easy to stop, there will be no way to advance; if the ambition is light, the unknown will be regarded as known, and the unlearned will be regarded as learned.

If the heart is big, everything will be accessible; if the heart is small, everything will be ill.

In order to learn from the great benefits, I am seeking to change my temperament.

To establish a mind for heaven and earth, to establish a way for the people, to pass on the sage’s unique knowledge, and to create peace for all generations.

Understand that kindness is the foundation, if you are stubborn, you will establish it, if you expand it, you will be big, if you are easy to see, it will be small, and people can only promote it.

Words teach, actions teach. There is progress during the day, and there is gain at night. The breath is nourished, and the moment is saved.

Knowing it without being polite is not your own.

The hearts of the world are limited to the narrowness of what they see and hear.

The immutable Qi can only live and die.

Virtue cannot defeat Qi, and life depends on Qi; Virtue cannot defeat Qi, and life depends on virtue.

After the form, there is the nature of temperament, and if the good is reversed, the nature of heaven and earth exists.

If you are ambitious but not perseverant, you will have no rules; if you are perseverant but not ambitious, you will be narrow-minded.

But the way of the saint has no progress or retreat, and it is the ultimate in what it creates.

Scholars must be pragmatic and not stick to their names. If you intentionally use a similar name, it is false.

You must know what is the way of filial piety, so how you should serve and how you should be gentle, and then you can fulfill your filial piety.

People say that we should practice hard, but it is just a shorthand metaphor. Since people can know and see that everything is what they should do, and they don't have to wait to pay attention to it, then they have selfish motives.

The way of benevolence only needs one word: "dao". Gong is just the principle of benevolence, and one cannot call it benevolence. It is public and is based on the human body, so it is benevolence. If you only serve the common good, you will take care of everything. Therefore, you can forgive, so you can love. Forgiveness is the bestowal of benevolence, and love is the use of benevolence.

Loyalty and forgiveness make it fair. To create virtue is to be loyal and forgiving, and to be impartial is to be fair.

If it is ambitious but not perseverant, it will be difficult to establish; if it is perseverant but not ambitious, it will be impossible to live in it.

Anyone who wants to learn must know where to focus, and once he has learned, he must know where to be effective.

The internal weight can overcome the external lightness, and the depth can reveal the smallness of the temptation.

Scholars are overcome by Qi and captured by practice. They can only blame their will.

The foundation must be cultivated first, and then the trend can be established. Since the trend is right, the shallowness and depth are determined by the effort or lack of effort.

To discuss science, one must understand the principles, and to discuss governance, one must understand the body.

Discussing Qi without regard to Qi is unprepared; discussing Qi regardless of Xing is unclear; the other two are not.

Father, son, monarch and ministers are the laws of the world, and there is no escape between heaven and earth.

It is better to learn from friends than to be good at each other and put in more effort.

Scholars understand that the body of benevolence actually has all kinds of selves, as long as it is cultivated in principles. If you seek the meaning of the scriptures, they all mean cultivation.

To be able to practice and refine your words means to be sincere.

It is a joy to do good to others, and many people believe and follow.

If it is not clear, it will be useless if it is moved; if it is not moved, it will be clear and useless.

The heart of a saint feels the world, just like the cold, summer, and rain. He understands and responds to everything, and he is just chaste.

The way of feeling is all-encompassing, but having personal connections will harm the way of feeling. This is called regret.

Accommodating it by measuring it and accepting it according to its fit is not the path that a sage must understand.

A gentleman respects his inner being and keeps his righteousness outward.

Examine the traces to observe their use, observe the words to find out their intentions, recognize them and obtain them, so as to accumulate their virtues.

To accumulate loyalty and trust within oneself is to advance one's virtue; to choose one's words and be sincere in one's ambitions is to lead one's career.

The purpose of the letter is to make future generations see that he never forgets his kindness. This is the selfish intention of the world.

The nature of a saint is that he is in tune with everything and is ruthless.

The so-called concentration means concentration when moving, and concentration when stillness. There is no approaching, no inside or outside.

Later generations are not up to it, and they say that the sage originally knew it, but it cannot be achieved through learning, and the way of learning is lost.

Benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness are always in the heart. If you make mistakes, you will do the same, if you make mistakes, you will do the same. If you speak silently, you will do the same.

The way of sincerity lies in having a firm belief in the Tao. If you believe in the Tao sincerely, you will get the results of your actions, and if you do the results, you will stick to it.

However, to learn the way, you must first understand your mind and know where you are going, and then work hard to achieve it. This is called self-clarity and sincerity.

The way of the sage enters the ears and exists in the heart. The accumulation of it is virtue and the practice of it is career.

Nature is the source of all things, and it is not something I can gain for myself.

When an object is first born, the Qi is nourished by the sun; after the thing is born, the Qi is dispersed.

Xing comes from heaven, and talent comes from Qi. If the Qi is clear, then the Qi will be clear; if the Qi is turbid, then the Qi will be turbid. Talents are good and bad, and nature is good.

The principles of the world are as they come from, and there is nothing evil in them. How can it be bad if joy, anger, sorrow, and joy have not arisen?

Love is emotion, and benevolence is nature. How can we only regard love as benevolence?

Yang has been reborn, and things must return to their extremes. It stands to reason. Where there is life there is death, where there is a beginning there is an end.

The meaning of bending and stretching can only be seen between the breaths. The coming and going of bending and stretching is just a matter of principle. There is no need to convert the qi of bending and stretching back into the qi of straightness and extension.

There is no me in the desert, and all things are already there. What is not expected is not the first, and what is already expected is not the last.

Everything has an origin and an end, and the origin and end cannot be divided into two parts.

The middle one is the foundation of the world. Between heaven and earth, the pavilions and pavilions are in harmony, and the principles are straight up and down.

The principles of heaven and earth and all things are not unique and must be right. They are all natural and not arranged.

The business of all things is the most promising, and this is the essence of goodness, which is called benevolence.

Xing is Qi, and Qi is Xing, which is called life.

If you want to establish yourself, you should establish others; if you want to achieve something, you can achieve others. Being able to draw examples from close friends can be said to be the way of benevolence.

For example, if the limbs are unkind and the Qi is no longer flowing through, they do not belong to oneself.

If there are no selves, oneself has nothing to do with oneself.

Being straightforward is called Tao, and cultivating Tao is called teaching.

The benevolent will bring justice to the world. If it is not right, there will be disorder and harmony.

Although the heart is not committed to the good path, it is the same as others in fearing power and refraining from sin. But because he is the same as other people, he knows that his sin is not sexual.

If a person is good at self-governance, there will be nothing that cannot be moved. No matter how stupid and stupid he is, he can gradually make progress.

If you talk about his nature, he will be good; if you talk about his talent, he will remain stupid. There are two kinds of stupidity: self-violation and self-abandonment.

Who can understand the eternal way of heaven and earth, the eternal principle of the world, who does not know it?

The principles of the world end and begin again, so they are eternal and endless. Eternity cannot be said to be certain. If it is certain, it cannot be permanent.

Everything that moves is a feeling, and feeling must have a response. What should be felt is a feeling, and what is felt has a response, so it is endless.

One yang returns below, which is the heart of the creatures of heaven and earth.

What is given by heaven is fate, and what things are received is nature.

When joy, anger, sorrow and joy have not yet occurred, it is called in-between. The one in the middle refers to the one who is silent and motionless, so it is called the foundation of the world.

The way that establishes heaven is called yin and yang; the way that establishes earth is called softness and hardness; the way that establishes people is called benevolence and righteousness.

Once the form is born, the spirit knows it, the five natures are moved, good and evil are divided, and everything comes out.

Each of the five elements has its own nature. The infinite truth, the essence of two and five, are wonderfully combined and condensed.

Movement and stillness are the roots of each other; Yin and Yang are divided, and the two are established.

Wuji and Taiji. Tai Chi generates yang when moving, and when it moves extremely, it creates stillness; when it is still, it generates yin, and when it reaches extreme stillness, it causes movement.

Those who think that those who come late from a poor country are determined to learn and have no wise teachers or good friends to follow them, and sincerely get this and play with their minds, it is enough to get in.

Learning is originally about cultivating virtues. Only when you have virtues can you speak up.

Being arrogant because of wealth is certainly not good; being arrogant because of knowledge is also harmful.

If you want to take on big responsibilities, you must be a loyal and honest person.

Educate others and cultivate their kindness, and their evil thoughts will naturally disappear; govern the people and guide them to respect each other and be humble, and disputes will naturally cease.

Controlling yourself can stop the problem of anger, and understanding the truth can stop the problem of fear.

Everyone needs to know where to start when they are just learning, and they need to know where to gain from after studying for a long time.

If a person does not make progress in his studies, he is just not brave enough.

If a person does not learn, he will age quickly.

Being slack in your ambitions for a lifetime is a sign of giving up on yourself.

There is only one feeling and one response between heaven and earth. What else is there?

There are no things outside the Tao, and there is no Tao outside all things, so there is no place between heaven and earth. Not full of the Word.

Excerpts from a complete collection of famous quotes by Li Xing, an educator in the Qing Dynasty

Li Xing (17851863), Zi Bozi, nicknamed Xiceng, was born in Dianjiang County, Sichuan Province (now Dianjiang County, Chongqing City, Chongqing became a municipality directly under the Central Government in 1997) The county was subsequently classified as Fengjiawan people in the southern suburbs of Chongqing. There are 10 volumes of "Xicheng Foreign Language" and "Kefang Poetry Manuscript" handed down to the world.

Li Xing's famous sayings:

It is better to make others love than to make others love, and it is worse to make others respect than to make others love.

When making friends, only take their strengths and ignore their weaknesses.

People who use words to flatter others only want to be pleased by others, but do not realize that others are despising themselves. People who use words to praise themselves only want to be envied by others, but do not realize that others are despising themselves. Laughter, nothing more humiliating.

Gong begets Ming, and Ming begets honesty; Lianxin begets authority, and authority promotes industry.

Thousands of gold in hand, spotless; penniless, worried about the world.

It is not necessary to live without evil neighbors, and it is not necessary to live without evil friends, but those who are kind and self-sufficient can get both.

Teachers use doubts, and friends use doubts to resolve.

The yang calls the good to please the other's heart, and the yin nourishes the other's evil in order to please oneself. This is the great provocation of friendship.

Learn to work hard and forget about hard work, and become lazy if you get used to it.

In the past, when King Qin went to Yujing, Peach Blossom immediately asked for a long tassel. He fought thousands of miles to wipe out the invaders, and became famous as a white-pole soldier. The golden seal was passed down to three generations of generals, and the banners were competing to recognize the Sichuan camp. On autumn rainy and windy nights, there is a faint sound of bamboo sticks and spinning.

You must know that the Jade Rabbit is very round, and it is already frosty and windy in September. I send a message to the door and the key, leaving the night tide to look at the middle of the moon. A collection of famous educator Li Yuxiu's famous quotes

Li Yuxiu (1647-1729), whose courtesy name was Ziqian and whose nickname was Caisan. A native of Zhouzhuang Village, Longxing Town, Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province, he was born in the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty and died in the Yongzheng period at the age of 83. A famous scholar and educator in the early Qing Dynasty.

A collection of Li Yuxiu's famous sayings:

The elders stand, the young do not sit. The elders sit, the destiny is to sit. In front of elders, one should keep one's voice low, but it is not appropriate to not listen. If you advance, you must move forward, but if you retreat, you must be late. When asked, don’t look away.

Only moral education, only talent; if you are not as good as others, you should encourage yourself. Like clothes, like food; if you are not as good as others, don't worry about it.

If you are capable, don’t be selfish; if others are capable, don’t take it lightly; don’t flatter the rich, don’t be arrogant and poor, don’t be tired of the old, don’t be happy with the new; don’t let people be idle, don’t be disturbed by things, don’t disturb others, don’t Words are disturbing; when people have shortcomings, don’t expose them; when people have selfish things, don’t talk about them.

Unintentional wrongdoing is called wrong, intentional wrongdoing is called evil. Mistakes can be corrected and they will disappear, but if they are covered up, they will become more guilty.

When you see people are good, you think about them, even if you go far away, you can gradually get closer; when you see people are evil, you reflect inwardly, and correct them without warning.

Whenever you speak, trust comes first, and deceit and deceit are not allowed to be ridiculed. It is better to say too much than to say too little, just be true to yourself, and don't be sarcastic.

Dear me, why is it difficult to be filial? If a relative hates me, filial piety is a virtuous one; if a relative has a fault, the admonishment will be updated, my color will be pleasant, my voice will be soft, the admonishment will not come in, the remonstrance will be answered with joy, the cry will follow, tart No complaints.

No matter how small the thing is, don’t do it well. If you do it poorly, you will suffer a loss in your life; no matter how small the thing is, don’t keep it privately. If you keep it privately, your loved ones will be hurt.

Don’t be slow when your parents call you; don’t be lazy when your parents tell you; listen carefully when your parents teach you; and obey when your parents take responsibility.

The rules of discipleship and the teachings of saints are to be filial to younger brothers first, to believe in others secondly, to love others universally, and to be kind and benevolent. If you have spare energy, study literature.

Before children’s nature is contaminated, good words are easy to enter; preconceptions are the first, and they are not easy to change over time; the kindness and faith of old people must be cultivated when they are young; as parents, when their children are young, , that is, they should be taught to read and recite classics in order to cultivate their fundamental wisdom and concentration; they should also be more aware of the principles of cause and effect, and the principles of discipline; if they are not taught when they are young, and when they grow up, their habits will have become and they will be unable to do anything. That’s it!

Even though our ancestors are far away, our sacrifices must not be dishonest. No matter how stupid your descendants are, they must read the scriptures. Abandoning classics and abolishing ethics is the root cause of the corruption of public security. Greed, anger, stupidity and arrogance are the reasons for the depravity of human hearts. If we want to bring peace to the world, we must start from the root. In order to turn back the tide of crime, the only way is to teach filial piety through moral ethics. Mistaking the roots for the branches and recognizing the branches for the roots. In order to solve problems, we create them instead. A gentleman can only stick to his roots and consolidate his country's roots.
