< p> "Ending on the Perfect Good" should be understood from three aspects. The first is the meaning of "Ending on the Perfect Good" itself, the second should be understood in conjunction with the Three Cardinal Guidelines, and the third should be understood in conjunction with the Eight Eyes. In other words, it must be understood in conjunction with the entire "Great Learning", so that the original meaning of this instruction can be fully reflected, and a new interpretation of the times can be developed in this sense.

First of all, we must understand the meaning of "stopping at perfection" itself. Although the historical explanations are expressed differently, the basic spirit is the same, which is to achieve and maintain the highest good of mankind through moral cultivation.

Secondly, "The Great Learning" proposed the Three Outlines and Eight Objectives. The first is the "Three Guidelines": being clear about morality, being close to the people, and striving for perfection. The two principles of being clear about virtue and being close to the people are the methods to achieve the state of perfection, and they are also two different stages. Mingmingde means that an individual has reached moral awareness. After an individual reaches moral awareness, he or she must extend his or her services to others, help and educate others so that they can become moral people. This is called "being close to the people".

Finally, "stopping at the ultimate good" should be understood in conjunction with the eight eyes. The Eight Eyes are Ge, Zhi, Cheng, Zheng, Xiu, Qi, Zhi, and Ping. The core of the Eight Eyes is self-cultivation, and the basis is the investigation of things. Through studying things, we can achieve understanding and mastery of knowledge and wisdom.
