Translation:

In ancient times, if you want to carry forward the aboveboard moral quality in the world, you must first manage your own country; If you want to govern the country well, you must first govern your own fiefs; If you want to manage your fiefs well, you must first cultivate your own character; If you want to cultivate your own character, you must first correct your own thoughts; To correct your thoughts, you must first make your thoughts sincere;

If you want to make your thoughts sincere, you must first acquire knowledge. The way to acquire knowledge lies in the cognitive learning of everything. Knowledge can only be acquired through the understanding and research of everything; After acquiring knowledge, the idea can be sincere; Only after the idea is sincere can the mind be correct; Only with a correct attitude can we cultivate our own character; Only through the cultivation of character can we manage the fief well; Only when the fiefs are well managed can the country be well governed; Only when the country is well governed can the world be peaceful.
