Kangxi's "Ting Xun Motto" Reading is based on understanding the reason

Reading is based on understanding the reason "Ting Xun Motto" Kangxi.

Tuition: Reading is based on understanding the truth. Since the principle is clear, there is an owner in the center, and you can judge by yourself whether it is right or wrong. When encountering difficulties, just act according to reason, and you will have no regrets about gains and losses. "Book" says: Learning from ancient teachings will yield rewards. Every word and thing in the scriptures of the sages and sages is full of truth. It is easy to pay attention and understand it when reading. This can be my method and this can be my warning. If you understand it for a long time, then things will come to you and you will respond immediately without thinking.

Principles recorded in classics are certain and limited, but things in the world are ever-changing and have infinite origins. Those who study hard in the old world often have troubles when encountering problems, and those who have experienced many accidents have no fixed opinions on every matter. This is all a biased view. I say that when you study, you need to understand the affairs of the world; and when you deal with things, you should judge them based on the principles of the book. This should be done to avoid the disadvantages of both.

Translation

The most important thing in reading is to understand the truth. If you understand the truth, you will have a decision in your heart, and you will be able to judge right and wrong by yourself. When you encounter something that you are confused about, just act according to the principles, and you will have nothing to be ashamed of whether you have gained or lost. "Book" says: Only by learning from the admonitions of Zhan Dynasty can you gain something. All the classic works of saints and sages, every sentence and every principle, have the most profound truth. When reading, you should understand it with your heart. Only in this way can it become my standard. Only in this way can it become my caution. Over time, you will understand it and understand it. When something happens, you can deal with it based on your feelings without thinking.

There are only so many truths recorded in the classics, but things in the world are ever-changing and endless. Therefore, people who study hard in the world are often rigid and rigid when it comes to things and do not know how to adapt. Those who have experienced a lot of things are often diplomatic and have no definite opinions. Both of these people are one-sided. I believe that when you study, you must experience a lot of political affairs. When dealing with things, you should study the matter repeatedly based on the knowledge in the book. Only in this way can we avoid the disadvantages of both.

Biography

Kangxi (1654-1722), Aixinjueluo Xuanye, was the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the second emperor after the Qing Dynasty made Beijing its capital. He ascended the throne at the age of 8 and took charge at the age of 14. He reigned for 61 years, making him the longest reigning emperor in the history of Zhongwei. He is the defender of China's unified multi-ethnic country.

It laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, created a great situation for the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong, and laid the foundation for the rule of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Study rigorously, cultivate one’s moral character and maintain one’s health, master skills, cultivate moral character, read and understand history, and be dedicated to one’s health. Emperor Kangxi's concept of raising his children reflected the wisdom of a generation of emperors and workers. Most of the children and grandchildren of Kangxi were capable of both literary and military skills, especially the two outstanding emperors after him: Emperor Yongzheng, who was diligent in political affairs and excellent in strategy; Emperor Qianlong , good at both civil and martial arts.

Kangxi actively allowed the prince to learn various skills and knowledge. The courses he studied included cultural courses such as Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and classics, as well as military and sports courses such as riding, archery, and swimming. Kangxi also personally inspected all the activities of the princes, understood their study status, reviewed their articles, and asked them to explain their homework in person. He did not want the princes to be overly pampered; on the contrary, he wanted them to endure hardships, become strong as early as possible, and get used to a simple life. No one around the princes dared to cover up even a small mistake of theirs. Because they understand that if they do this, they will be severely punished. Yinzhi was a cultural figure among the Kangxi disciples. Kangxi made him responsible for compiling the books of Lulu and Algorithm, and opened a library in Mengyangzhai in Changchun Garden. Both "The Origin of Lulu" and "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" are famous for this. Imperial Family Instructions: Court Instructions of Emperor Kangxi in Vernacular

Imperial Family Instructions: Court Instructions of Emperor Kangxi in Vernacular

Court Instructions by Xuanye of the Qing Dynasty.

1. Everything should be done with sincerity. And not in vain.

The instruction said: We must be sincere in everything we do, and do not pursue false reputations. Since I ascended the throne at a young age, whenever I go to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices or worship gods and Buddhas, I have been sincere and serious in my heart. Even when handling national affairs, I treat all ministers sincerely and do not engage in hypocrisy. Therefore, everything I do is done with sincerity and sincerity, without any trace of hypocrisy.

Emperor Kangxi was at the center of a political storm and had been on the throne for sixty-one years. It was somewhat surprising that he actually regarded honesty and trustworthiness as a top priority. Most people in the world equate officialdom with a battlefield, where various methods such as conspiracy, fraud, and frame-up are concentrated. In fact, even though those hypocritical tricks may be successful in a short period of time, in the face of the supreme integrity and the piercing eyes, they will eventually become contemptible trivial tricks and will only bring eternal shame. Only when a leader has integrity can his subordinates feel amiable and trustworthy, and then they will confide in them and work hard for them. Integrity is a banner with infinite appeal that unites people. Integrity itself is the great wisdom from a high position.

2. If you keep your mind in reverence, your mind and body will be pure and centered.

The injunction says: Nothing in the world should be treated lightly and negligently. Even very small and easy things should be treated with caution. Start to maintain a cautious attitude before something happens, and you will be able to deal with it more cautiously when something happens. You must stick to the spirit of caution and prudence until the end, and make things as serious as the beginning. If you continue to practice the spirit of prudence and persist for a long time, and practice it repeatedly, you will make this spirit settle down in your life. In this way, nothing will be wasted or difficult to do in your own hands. Generally speaking, by placing a cautious spirit in your heart, you can keep your mind and body in a clear and neutral position, just like having a master at home, and you can naturally handle household chores. This is what the ancients meant by "respecting and being direct." The "Book of Rites" begins with the famous saying "No disrespect". The sage only has one sentence to complete the profound truth.

Respect is an important principle of self-cultivation in traditional Chinese culture. It does not mean to maintain a blindly respectful appearance at all times, but to cultivate a serious and prudent mentality. This mentality Once externalized into personal temperament and style, an excellent ability to do things will be generated. Under a pair of focused, serious and cautious eyes, the complexity and difficulty of everything can be easily relieved.

3. Although employers should be trustworthy, they should not be trusted rashly.

The instruction says: As a boss, although you must trust them when appointing talents, you should not trust them quickly or easily. Subordinates often look at their boss's wishes and cleverly adapt to his wishes.

If a boss prefers a certain hobby, his subordinates will definitely try to seduce him. I know all kinds of fun skills. Have you ever seen me prefer a certain kind of fun? For this reason, no fun skills can make me addicted.

The most rare thing when drinking the wine of power is sobriety. This sobriety comes from being fully aware of the various unfair means of seeking favors and competition adopted by subordinates. In order to uphold principles and maintain fairness, the boss must first dismantle the bridges that allow unfair means to pass through in terms of his own preferences. In front of Kangxi, who could not overwhelm me with any skill, all opportunists could only look at the peak and rest their minds.

4. The benevolent regards all things as one.

The instruction said: A benevolent person regards all things in the world as one, and his compassion is triggered wherever he goes. If you give full play to this kind of love, then all people and things in the world will be covered by it. Express this kind of mood, and feelings of kindness and kindness will be produced accordingly. Whatever is beneficial to others, do it; anything that is not beneficial to others, give up. No matter how big or small the matter is, love is always endless; release my heart and strength to the fullest, and let all the destined people in the world receive my kindness one by one.

Any heart full of love is a vast ocean, possessing the holy power of immersing heaven and earth. Although not every bouquet of waves can reach every corner of the world, as long as you have one breath left, you will continue to rise up and bravely and firmly control the vast sea of ????love. This is the heart of an emperor, a heart of an emperor with Manchu origin forged from the traditional culture of the Central Plains. From here we can also see the evolution process and great significance of the expansion of Central Plains culture into Chinese national culture.

5. Let yourself go.

The edict says: Who can be a human being without making mistakes? But some people make mistakes and most of the time they don’t take responsibility for them. This is not the case for me. When I mistakenly blame others due to occasional forgetfulness in casual conversations, I will take the initiative to take responsibility for the fault and say: This is my mistake.

Only in this way can people understand and even be moved by it. Some people even feel uneasy because of it. Most people who can take the initiative to take responsibility for their mistakes are those with high moral character.

If you make a mistake but are unwilling to admit it, you mistakenly believe that admitting a mistake means losing your dignity. Refusing to admit mistakes for the sake of dignity not only hurts the atmosphere of frankness and honesty among colleagues, but also exposes one's narrow mind that cannot withstand the storm, and turns one's dignity into a kind of lonely stubbornness. Leaders who take the initiative to take responsibility for their mistakes can not only move everyone while regaining their dignity, but also help create a positive atmosphere. A working atmosphere of truth-seeking and frank communication. Refusing to admit a mistake is tantamount to insisting on a mistake, and insisting on a mistake is tantamount to self-destruction.

The purpose of admitting mistakes is to correct them. Only those who can correct their mistakes in time can continue to gain and strive for self-improvement.

6. People are always clean. Then the body will be pure and clear.

The instruction says: You should keep clean whether you are at home or out. As long as people pay attention to keeping clean, a kind of Qingming Qi will adhere to themselves. If you are close to dirty things, you will be polluted by the turbid air, and the clear air will gradually be covered and obscured by it.

As the spirit of all things, humans should appear fresh, noble and smart. Qing Qi is a kind of noble and wise Qi, while turbid Qi is a kind of dirty and stupid Qi. Clean air is a transcendent and ethereal thing, and only by maintaining clean living habits can it come quietly. Kangxi obviously required his descendants to pay attention to cultivating and improving their spiritual temperament in their daily diet and daily life.

7. Always be content with yourself.

The teaching said: "Laozi" said: People who know how to be satisfied will be rich. He also said: If you are satisfied with hiding, you will not be incurring shame. If you know when it is enough, you will not be in danger, and you can maintain a long-term path. Clothes are only used to protect the body, but some people in the world still feel dissatisfied wearing leather coats worth thousands of gold. I don’t know that some people are just as comfortable wearing simple clothes. Food only serves to satisfy hunger, but some people spend huge sums of money to collect and store food and still feel dissatisfied. I don’t know that some people still feel happy even though they eat simple meals.

With this in mind, I have always consciously grasped the right measure of contentment. Even though he is the emperor, he only needs to dress appropriately; even though he is rich from all over the world, he never needs a variety of dishes for daily meals. This is not something I did forcefully, it was something I did naturally and naturally. When you see me like this, you should encourage each other with the virtue of frugality.

Once a person falls into the vortex of pursuing luxury, his desire will be driven by the colorful world on a path of no return that increases day by day and is constantly compared. This path will only leave an ending of wasted effort and regret. sigh. A wise person can stop and think twice before embarking on this road because he can penetrate the splendor of arrogance and see the essence of life enjoyment: clothing cannot cover the body, food cannot fill the intestines; he would rather choose to live rationally on the spiritual level Control and extend the happiness that comes with creation.

8. If you want to follow the law, you have to do it first.

The edict said: If a person like me, who is above all people, wants to implement laws, he must take the lead and set an example, so that people can naturally obey. Even if it is such a small thing as smoking, although it does not involve much harm, fires often occur because of it, so I always prohibit it. But it’s not that I don’t know how to smoke. I loved smoking at my adoptive mother’s house when I was young. Now we want to ban others from smoking, but we can’t help ourselves. What will we use to convince others? So I will never smoke again.

Only when those in power formulate and implement laws and regulations and make the same determination as Kangxi did to quit smoking and start from me can the laws be spread across the world in a fair and just manner. If you sternly ask your subordinates to be honest and refuse corruption at the conference, but you are crazy about taking bribes in private, no matter how strict the legal provisions against corruption are, they will only be reduced to a piece of paper that will first be ridiculed by yourself. If this phenomenon is not corrected for a long time and is allowed to grow, the world will become a black hole that can dissolve and swallow up everything. The law is as great as heaven, and there are no exceptions, so that the power and dignity of the law can be demonstrated.

9． Constant hard work leads to relaxation.

The instructions said: People in the world generally like ease and hate hard work. I believe that people can only understand ease if they persist in hard work.

If you just settle for ease, you won't be able to stand the hard work. Therefore, the "Book of Changes" says: Heaven moves in a healthy manner, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement. From this point of view, the sage sees hard work as a blessing and ease as a disaster.

After long-term pampering, occasionally working, you will be out of breath; after sweating profusely, you will occasionally rest, and you can best enjoy the breeze. Kangxi's view that he can learn to relax after constant hard work is indeed a wise saying. Only through diligent labor can we create and enjoy comfortable happiness. Diligence is an important pillar of life that depends on both good times and bad times.

10. Think about what is right or wrong. Just for a moment.

The teachings say: As long as a person's mind moves, he will form a thought. Whether the thought is righteous or not is formed in an instant. If this thought is not correct, you will know it in an instant and correct it immediately, so that it will naturally not stray too far from the path. "Shangshu" says: A sage will become a dissolute person if he does not think carefully, and a dissolute person will become a saint if he can think carefully. The generation of a thought is very subtle. When it is quiet, it is stored in the body. When it is acted upon, it must be carefully examined. You must make it look up to you without any shame, that is the real skill. Therefore, the ancient sages focused their attention on defense when the idea of ??defense first arose, before things started to happen, so they used very little force but achieved huge results.

This is the righteous work advocated by the ancients. People must learn to self-examine the thoughts formed in their minds, place this thought on the big stage of heaven and earth, and judge its rights and wrongs, pros and cons. Keep the correct and beneficial thoughts and extinguish the wrong and harmful thoughts. As long as you can self-examine the buds of your thoughts and make appropriate choices, you can gain a complete victory before things happen.

1 1. Mortal people have special aspirations. This is the way to maintain your health.

The instruction said: If a person can concentrate on an art or a skill, his mind will not be attached to foreign objects all the time, which is very beneficial to health. The surviving officials of the Ming Dynasty and those who were good at calligraphy among the predecessors of our dynasty that I know all lived a long life and were in good health. There are also Han people who are good at painting. Those whose skills are more outstanding than others can live to be seventy or eighty years old. They are in good health and their paintings are as good as usual, and they do not look old. It can be seen from this that having a single-minded orientation of the mind is the way to maintain good health.

Kangxi once said in the previous article that all arts cannot overwhelm me, and here he advocates concentrating on one art and one skill. Isn’t it contradictory? The art in the previous article refers to inviting friends to indulge in fun. The art here refers to specializing in an elegant skill. The former art can easily cause those in power to fall into corruption and affect the fairness of decision-making; the latter art allows people to concentrate on being alone and cultivate their body and mind. If you don't use any skills to concentrate your energy in life, you will always be attached to external objects and feel empty. You can only chase friends everywhere, waste your energy in eating, drinking and having fun with others, wasting your time, and in the end you will not only have nothing. He even brought back a jealous resentment; but once he left the crowd, he felt bored, isolated, and even dared not face his extremely empty self. It is really better to concentrate on a skill, which can not only improve the skill, but also regulate the mind and body.

1 2. Give it something. You must choose what you need.

The edict said: It is inevitable for people to receive and give gifts.

When encountering other people’s birthday celebrations or other festive events, of course you have to give some gifts, but you must choose something that the other person needs and is useful, or give something that he or she likes in daily life, so that you can give it your fullest satisfaction. My thoughts. Otherwise, just because someone gives me a gift, and I give him a gift in return, it is equivalent to exchanging the name of the gift. People should pay attention to these things.

Kangxi’s giving of gifts to people emphasized the principle of being needed or liked by others. The purpose was to express one’s ambition through things, which was reflected through the gifts given. My sincerity and sincerity towards my relatives and friends make a small gift illuminate the friendship in the world. In today's society, the phenomenon of reciprocity is more frequent and complex. Those fake cigarettes and fake wines that have succeeded in the gift market cannot be said to be a long-term exhibition and humiliation of the world's people.

1 3. Reading more will weaken your appetite.

The injunction says: Improving morality and achieving achievements in life must begin with reading.

If you read more, people's hobbies and greed will fade; if hobbies and greed fade, various expenses will be frugal; if expenses are frugal, people's various greed and greed will be reduced; if greed and greed are reduced, The quality that people establish for themselves will tend to be noble.

The reason why reading more can dilute people's cravings is because reading itself first takes up the time and space where cravings arise; more importantly, reading is talking to experts, and the truth in the book can dilute people's cravings. The realistic atmosphere that is most likely to produce cravings. If you cannot be transcendent and independent of this atmosphere, your life will inevitably be oppressed by the surrounding atmosphere of competition and comparison, making it very confusing and panicky. Therefore, Kangxi said: If the camp is small, the character will be high.

1 4. Keep your ambition. Don't be angry.

Instructions: Mencius said: Maintain ambition, but do not be impatient. If people want to improve their health, it is difficult to go beyond these two sentences. Why? If there is really no rush, then the mind will naturally be peaceful; if the ambition can always be maintained, the mind will not be shaken and changed by the outside world, and will naturally be stable. Is there anything more important than maintaining your health?

Ambition unifies and determines the main direction of life value, and can lead people into an ideal realm of life that transcends the status quo. The road to ambition is full of twists and turns; the fierce and impatient mentality on this special road seems too short and too simple, and cannot withstand the tossing and teasing of various complicated road conditions. Only a peaceful mind can generate enough wisdom and endurance to clear all the obstacles on this road one by one. With ambition, you will have a stable state of life layout; this kind of stability is a kind of persistence and determination that is not tempted by distractions and is not intimidated by dangers. With both the guidance of ambition and the corresponding heart and strength, such a life must be a truly confident, fulfilling and developed life.
