The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection.

Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained.

Things have a beginning and an end, and knowing the order is the shortest.

Since it is necessary to know the order before we can understand the path of cultivation a little, then, of course, we must understand the order.

In Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at the supreme goodness, since the author uses a word in the, of course, it also shows that there is no order between these three, that is, these three are equally important, or rather, they can be carried out together at the same time.

If you reluctantly arrange an order, it is okay, Mingming virtue precedes the people, and the people's proximity precedes the supreme good.

Therefore, the knowledge in "knowing and then defending" is, of course, knowing that it stops at the highest perfection, and then it can be determined.

In other words, knowing is actually a starting point, and then continuing to develop backwards, and the final result is - thinking about it and then getting it!

Therefore, after knowing that the supreme goodness is stopped, the heart of a person will not be moved, and only after the mind is not moved, can he obtain tranquility, and after obtaining tranquility, he can obtain a tranquility, and it is in such an order.

Stopping at perfection is the starting point of whether or not we can attain it, so what is the starting point of Mingde?

Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world in ancient times should rule their country first, and those who want to govern their country should first gather their families, and those who want to unify their families should first cultivate their bodies, and those who want to cultivate their bodies should first correct their hearts, and those who want to correct their hearts should first be sincere in their intentions, and those who want to be sincere in their intentions should first know and know in Gewu.

This passage is very important, and the author also clearly explains that Gewu is Mingmingde...... Starting point!

Because this passage is so important, the author repeats it again.

Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then heart, heart and then body cultivation, body cultivation and then family Qi, family Qi and then national governance, national governance and then the world is peaceful.

Then, the author didn't think he could explain it thoroughly, so he explained it again.

From the Son of Heaven to the Shu people, one is based on self-cultivation, and those who are chaotic and end up in the end of the rule are not, the thick ones are thin, and the thin ones are thick, and there is no such thing.

From the emperor to the commoners, all of them are starting from self-cultivation, if the starting point is wrong, in the end the country will be governed smoothly, it is impossible, for the first thing that should be worked hard, but not at all, and for the time being, there is no need to work hard, but those who are anxious to get on fire insist on working hard, this kind of reason is obviously not.

In the end, after talking so much, the author finally revealed the most important thing.

This is called...... , Zhiben, this is called ...... , know it well——!

This...... , that is, to know the starting point, which ...... is the source of wisdom——!

Why a sentence is important, just use the original text to explain, without adding any additional explanations, you can already explain very well why this sentence is so important.

The character of the object is then known, and then the knowledge is ...... , the country is governed and then the world is peaceful.

What are these words talking about, isn't it the order of the Ming Ming Virtue mentioned in the opening chapter of "The Ancient Desire to Be Virtuous in the World"?

"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. After talking about what it means to be a university at the beginning, the author immediately gave a careful overview of the process in between, starting from the starting point of "stopping at the best", and finally ending with "thinking about it and then being able to get it".

After talking about this, the author carefully explained the intention of saying these words, "Things have a beginning and an end, and if you know the order, you will be short-sighted." This shows that in order to understand the path of cultivation, one must understand what is the starting point.

Well, since the starting point is so important, of course, it is necessary to talk in detail about how to be clear and virtuous.

So, after repeating two large paragraphs back and forth, I finally described a series of sequences in Mingmingde in detail.

Thus, the reader understands that the object is the starting point of this series.

Well, since it is a character of things and then we know it, then what does this very important starting point "object grid" mean?

In other words, if you don't even understand the meaning of the personality, then how to know how to do it, how to be sincere, and how to be right in your heart!

If the heart is not right, how can you cultivate your body, how can you cultivate your body, how can you have a family, if you can't even gather your own home, what can you talk about governing the country and leveling the world?

Therefore, if you want to achieve the realm of Ming Mingde, you must know the meaning of "the character of the object...... , I can't figure it out!

There are a lot of masters in later generations, and there are countless famous cows, and they are all impassioned and express their opinions on the meaning of things.

Alas...... , tired or not, the author has said it very clearly more than 2,000 years ago!

This is called...... , Zhiben, this is called ...... , know it well——!

It's really nothing to ridicule anymore.,The author has clearly pointed it out.,This is Zhiben.,This is Zhizhi.,Is it used to get angry with two eyes?

What is the meaning of knowing, the author has already said very clearly, "from the Son of Heaven to the common people, one is based on self-cultivation, and those who are chaotic and end up in the end are not the same; Seniors, this is knowing——!

That's right, it's scolding again, don't accept it, that's good, the younger generation of people who learn from it...... , I had to talk about it...... and let everyone ...... Speechless!

What is going on with the object, let it go first, put it to the back, and see what the author has said after he has finished speaking.

There are a lot of words in the back, and if you copy them all, there is obviously a suspicion of cheating the number of words, so it's good to copy it a little.

From "the so-called sincere person" to "this will never be forgotten", all of them are what sincerity is, clear and clear.

Then, the author talked about three concepts in a row, Ziming, Xinmin, and Zhiben, why did he talk about these three concepts in the middle, think about it carefully, and the answer is clear at a glance.

Then, from "the so-called self-cultivation is in the right heart" to "this is said to be self-cultivation in the right heart." From "the so-called Qi family is cultivating their bodies" to "this is the so-called governing the country in Qi Qi's family", it clearly explains what is self-cultivation and Qi family.

Finally, from "the so-called peaceful world is governing the country" to "this means that the country does not take profit for profit, but for righteousness." Directly explain what it means to govern the country, why it is necessary to govern the country, and how to govern the country.

"The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. What is the best is already talked about at the beginning, and what is close to the people, the author also introduced it slightly in the middle of the whole article.

Then, from "the ancient desire to be clear and virtuous in the world", all the way to the end of the article, all about ...... , what is Ming Mingde!

This is the author's idea of the whole article, clear, clear, and completely clear at a glance!

And a series of processes in Ming Mingde, after the author finished talking about Zhizhi, and then immediately began to talk about sincerity, mixed with three concepts, and then the four concepts of heart, self-cultivation, family Qi, and national governance, were explained very clearly.

If none of this is wrong, then there's a big problem!

Why...... , the author just doesn't explain the "character of things" and "the world", what is going on?
