Famous Quotes by Wang Guowei

2. Everyone has what they have in their hearts, but everyone has nothing in their writings.

3. Realm has its own size, and it is not good or bad based on it. "The fishes come out in the drizzle, and the swallows slant in the breeze." How can it be worse than "the setting sun shines on the banner, and the horses whistle in the wind"? "Little silver hooks hung idlely on the treasure curtain", why is it not as good as "The tower is lost in the fog, and the moon is lost in the river"?

4. What is the purpose of education? It is to make people perfect persons. What is a perfect person? It is said that all human abilities are well developed and balanced. Human abilities are divided into two parts, internal and external: one is physical ability, and the other is mental ability. To develop the body but shrink the spirit, or to develop the spirit but weaken the body, is not what is called perfection. For a perfect person, the mind and body must be harmoniously developed.

"The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I turned around, I suddenly saw that person there, in a dimly lit place." This is the third realm. There is no one who can advance to the third realm without transcending the first realm and the second realm.

The worst thing is that the world can't keep it, and the beautiful face is like the flower in the mirror and the tree.

10. If a person wants to be a complete person, he must have knowledge of the inner world and the outer world, and the extent of knowledge varies with time and place. ...Knowledge is divided into two categories: theory and practice.

However, after theoretical knowledge is developed, it becomes the foundation of practical knowledge. ...Theoretical knowledge is what everyone's nature requires. In fact, knowledge is to meet the requirements of society and maintain a lifetime of life; therefore, knowledge education is indispensable.
