Chapter 617: The Way of the University

This passage of the way of the university, after being recited by Kong Yuliang, has a strong reputation!

Especially those foreigners, as soon as they heard this old man shake his head, they were able to make such an esoteric article and admire them to the ground.

Xindao, don't say that you can't do it by turning your head so slowly, even if you turn your head into a windmill as fast, you can't do it either!

Only a few people know that this passage is taken from the beginning of Saoko's "University".

At this time, Kong Yuliang already felt very good, was in a good mood, and continued to speak straight like a long rainbow.

"All right, all of you! Blessed are your ears today!

"After listening to my recitation, I completely imitate the tone of the author of "University"! In today's world, anyone who can do this is better than me!

"But that's not the point! Don't give up your roots.

"What's the point?

"The point is, I will tell you what is the original meaning of the words of the first master of the saints.

"I can tell you very responsibly that there have been many people throughout history who have tried to annotate, exegesis, explain, explain this vital text.

"But what is the result?

"Once again, I am very sorry to tell you that, as with your understanding of the golden mean, they are all wrong!

"So you are most fortunate that you can meet me and hear the true meaning.

This means that you will have the right foundation to understand the way of university.

"This foundation is the core of your observance of the Heavenly Dao!

"Now, I ask each of you to listen to you, and I will explain it to you sentence by sentence. ”

Everyone is nervous, we have all listened to it several times, and our ears are about to be washed off, it turns out that you are old and want to enter the core content.

Admire, admire!

"Since our topic is the way of the university, what is a 'university'?

"'University' means the most important knowledge! 'Big' means the most important, and learning is knowledge!

"In layman's terms, 'university' is to choose the greatest of all kinds of learning, that is, the indispensable things, and then study them and turn them into their own knowledge!

"It's not the so-called university we have today, which includes everything, which is equivalent to an encyclopedic hodgepodge, no matter how big or small, no matter what is important.

"To put it another way, the concept of the university that people understand today is completely wrong, and we should go back to the original meaning of "university" according to the university.

So what is the way of the university?

"Those are the three 'in' that I will talk about in detail below!

"The three 'in' mentioned here are where the way of the university lies.

This indicates the purpose of the passage I have just recited, that is, the purpose of the author.

The purpose of this is to indicate where the way of the university is manifested.

"In Mingmingde, it is the first point of the way of university.

This sentence is to say, in Mingmingde, there is a manifestation of the way of the university!

"Mingmingde is to show Mingmingde, and when the thing called Mingde is revealed, the way of the university will be with it!

"So what is Matilda?

"Matilda and the nature of the golden mean are actually the same thing.

"Mingde is actually a fair and upright virtue, that is, the original nature.

So, what is the basic law, or essential content, of the university?

"It is to show the nature of innocence, innocence, light, and goodness!

It can be seen that there is only one requirement, as long as you persevere, there will be no evil, ugly, and bad things that you are doing desperately every day!

"Do you accept it?

When the old man said this, he was condescending and reasonable, obviously thinking that he was very in line with the "Ming Mingde" code of conduct.

Baili Liangliu found that there is one thing, this Kong Yuliang is completely different from those modern teachers and professors.

This Teacher Kong, what he is talking about, is the standard of his motto, not full of male thieves and prostitutes, but he said it in a dignified manner.

Kong Yuliang is by no means the kind of hypocrite, because he now exudes a heroic righteousness.

"In being close to the people, this is the second point of the university way.

This sentence means maintaining a close relationship with the common people.

"'Kiss' is a verb, that is, to draw closer, or it can be a verb, that is, to maintain a close relationship.

"In short, don't be out of step with the general public.

"Attention, this is the way of the university, not that you are hypocritical, you need the support of the people to be close to the people!

"Don't be like those unscrupulous politicians who make superficial statements and then just hold themselves up or abandon them.

"What's more, they will oppress the people!

"Recently, the old man has heard a fallacy, saying that it is pro, but when the new word is explained, it is said that it is to educate the gangsters and let them reform the old and renew, this is pure nonsense!

"The person who said this, he didn't know that the nature of the Great Dao came from the Heavenly Dao!

"Under the avenue, everyone must change themselves in front of the avenue and accept the change of the avenue, rather than changing others on behalf of the avenue.

"Even if the old man is an unattainable leader like him, when he teaches others, he must first change himself, and then guide others to obey the avenue.

"To do this, of course, you can't do it without the public!

"Going back to what I said earlier, what am I telling you?

"There's something subtle about my actions, isn't it?

"I deal with people who are originally outsiders, and they are accepted and embraced, and they learn from me the way of Confucius and Mencius.

"Do you understand?

"If you don't understand it, it's really rotten wood that can't be carved!"

Everyone was dumbfounded!

This old man is too late to settle accounts, right?

When did that happen, and you still remember it?

Have you been settling accounts with us until now?

Don't you know that modern people are busy and have poor memory?

Especially when it's not good for you, you forget it in the blink of an eye.

Don't even forget about it in the blink of an eye!

It's not right, it's not admitting it in the blink of an eye.

However, don't use this in front of this old man.

He doesn't bother you, he just mentions it in front of you.

If you don't say anything, he will mention it again and again, and again and again!

Until the person in question truly realizes the mistake.

And once you know that the Word is wrong, the punishment for you will end.

Because he no longer responds to you, the old man doesn't take you to heart.

In fact, although the truth of the old man has a certain depth, it is still relatively easy to understand and accept.

Once you don't contradict it, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the old man really practiced his ideas in words and deeds.

What's even more valuable is that it is still there for a hundred years of persistence.

If it were not supported by this fact, it is estimated that no one would believe his words ten times more beautiful.

"Stopping at perfection is the third point of the way of the university!"

Everyone hadn't stopped slandering this old man's wit, and Kong Yuliang began to talk again.

"The third word, 'stopping at the highest good', is the key word, and this stop is the stop of stopping.

But the meaning of stopping is not what most people think, to stop and not to make progress. ”

"So what does stop mean here?"

Murong Bahu, who was not ashamed to ask, asked.

The old man nodded at him: "The stop here means fixed. ”

"Why?"

"Because the state here is the supreme good, and since it is already the supreme good, do you still want to be better than the supreme good? Obviously that is overkill!

"And you people run all day long, like a donkey with a whip in the back!

"Do you know why? I don't know! Then I'll tell you!

"It's because when you are already good, you are still not enough to swallow elephants, and you want to be better than better!

"Of course, there is also a situation where you are really far from it, so you want to meet a good standard.

"So, the two situations are combined, so you are all without exception, if the donkey that is put on the mill goes around the mill every day, I am not wrong, right?

"Didn't any of you stop when you couldn't turn?"

Everyone was embarrassed when they heard it.

It turned out that he was the stubborn donkey.

"Then what is the supreme good?"

Helian Yuntian didn't speak all the time, and then asked a question that he thought was very crucial.

"Haha! Good question! Yuntian really deserves to be a good student who is good at thinking, as always!

"If you elaborate on this question, it will take a day and a night.

But to put it simply, in one sentence - the best is the nature of the golden mean, and the behavior that conforms to the best is to act spontaneously!

"And each of you knows the supreme good, knows the nature, acts spontaneously, and remains unchanged in the state of the supreme good, which is the lesson of your life!

"It's not for me to replace you.

"My teachings are just a start-up for you, and at the same time an attempt to get you started.

"Whether you can get started, and how far you can go after you get started, depends on your own efforts!

"I repeat, I teach without distinction and treat your teachings equally.

At the same time, it means that each of you has the possibility of getting started and going deeper!

"There are some key points below, after understanding the previous content, these points are easy to understand, you can slowly understand them yourself.

"But today is a rare opportunity, and it also prevents some people from not having too strong understanding ability and understanding the way to go off the road.

"Especially for the sake of those foreigners, if I don't speak very thoroughly, it will be difficult for them to understand.

"In that case, I will take the trouble to give you a big lesson, okay! ”

I don't know if this is usually the case, or if everyone is particularly enthusiastic today, and the applause is really loud.

And it's getting louder and louder, and the range is getting bigger and bigger, and it's always resounding in all corners of the world.

At this time, Kong Yuliang was even more energetic! His firm words were like a great river rushing out of the Yangtze River.

"You know and then decide, you know, right?

"Forget it, I don't need to ask the following, if you understand, I'll review it for you, and if you don't understand, you should listen to the new lesson.

"But I think I understand, but your understanding is different from what I said, pay attention!

"In the future, you must take what I say as the standard, and you can't be unconventional and talk nonsense!

"Alas, it's good to have no class, but it's too worry-free for my old man!

"Stopping and then being able to defend, it is the relationship between 'stop' and 'fixed'.

"'Ding' is a fixed and unchanging standard of perfection!

"Only by knowing a fixed and unchanging supreme good, and unswervingly taking it as the standard, can everything be determined, that is, your thoughts and actions can be stable.

"It can be seen that the way of the university is the foundation of all thoughts and actions, and only after the standard of perfection can it be 'determined'.

Otherwise, you are blind to 'stop', and behind the blind stop, you will definitely be wrong 'determined'.

That is to say, only with the foundation of 'determination' - 'stop', can there be 'determination' and this series of things behind.

"The essence and relationship between this 'stop' and 'determination', everyone understands it now, right?

"This 'now' is the key word.

"Because you couldn't have understood until you listened to what I said!

"But after listening to what I said, if you still don't understand, then it's rotten wood that can't be carved!

"Okay, now that we've said the first important principle, let's move on to the second one.

"The second is 'to be calm after being fixed', and the effect of 'fixing' here is also 'quiet'.

"This 'tranquility' first includes tranquility, but also includes peace in everything, and there is no chaos.

"As for you, many people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and some people are not afraid of the excitement!

"Let me ask you, are you really not afraid of the excitement?

"Now the world is not as it used to be, chickens and dogs hear each other, and people do not get along with each other until they are old and dead.

"It's the global village of the world, where there is a wind and grass, you know it in the blink of an eye, and even in the blink of an eye, you will be on the scene.

"It's really lively, and no one can run!

"Can you escape?

"Dream on!

"One of the key understandings and principles of this 'calm and then calm' is to require you to be honest and do things in a good state of mind or environment!

"And don't make trouble!

"If you cause trouble or make trouble, you will be sure to bring yourself into a world other than the 'supreme good'!

"This is a complete departure from the most important university principle, which is 'stopping at perfection'.

"With this important principle in mind, let's do it again!

"The third important principle is 'quiet and then you can be safe', see no, everyone stops, only quiet, and only then can there be safety!

"Otherwise, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you!

"As the principle of 'peace', the most important thing is peace of mind!

"If you only have one thing in mind, and that is 'the best', then you will naturally feel at ease!

"But if you don't think about the 'supreme good,' but you think about all the nonsense all day and night, will you be at ease?

"Isn't it stupid for you to want to get the benefits of peace of mind, but not to follow the rules that peace of mind must follow?

"Therefore, if you want peace of mind, you can't ask for fish from wood!
