Chapter 541

"The way of university is to be clear about virtue, to be close to the people, to stop at the highest good. Knowing the end will lead to concentration, then being calm, then being calm will lead to peace, then being able to think, and then being able to obtain. Things have the root and the end, and things have the beginning and beginning. Knowing the order and future will lead to the path.

In ancient times, those who want to make clear virtues of the world should first govern the country. Those who want to dominate the country should first govern the family. 1. Those who want to dominate the family should first cultivate their body. Those who want to cultivate their body should first correct their hearts. Those who want to correct their hearts should first be sincere in their intentions. Those who want to be sincere in their intentions should first be sincere in their knowledge. Achieve knowledge should be investigated in the study of things. After the matter is structured, then the mind is sincere and then the mind is upright, then the mind is upright, then the body is cultivated, then the family is united, then the country is governed, then the world is peaceful..."

Huang Rong was stunned when she heard this, and Zhou Xuan's back was as smooth as a flowing cloud, as if he knew this article well.

"Okay OK."

But she did not give up, turned around and picked up another book and handed it to Zhou Xuan.

"I will recite this book, too."

Zhou Xuan took the words above, and said without reading the contents in the book.

"The destiny of heaven is called nature, the way is called Tao, and the way of practicing Tao is called teaching. Tao cannot be separated for a moment, but it cannot be separated for a while. Therefore, a gentleman is careful about what he cannot see, and is afraid of what he does not hear. No one sees it invisible, and nothing is visible in the slightest, so a gentleman is careful about what he alone..."

"The Doctrine of the Mean" is a moral philosophy monograph in ancient China discussing the state of life cultivation. It was originally part of the 31st chapter of "The Book of Rites" and is one of the Confucian classics. It is said to be written by Zisi during the Warring States Period.

Its content affirms that "moderateness" is the highest standard of moral behavior, regards "sincerity" as the essence of the world, believes that "sincerity" will reach the highest level of life, and proposes the learning process and understanding method of "learning it, interrogating it, thinking it carefully, discerning it, and practicing it with utmost importance".

Scholars of the Song Dynasty took out the Doctrine of the Mean from the Book of Rites and combined it into the "Four Books" with the "Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius".

Guo Jing gestured and used his martial arts moves. Zhou Xuan grasped the key points without any effort and learned them.

However, the Wu brothers and Guo Fu asked Guo Jing to repeatedly and repeatedly to show their advice to learn the superficial appearance.

Zhou Xuan hid behind the tree and watched Guo Jing teach them martial arts.

Thinking that Huang Rong was racking her brains to prevent him from practicing martial arts, she sighed and smiled depressedly.

Huang Rong has worked hard to bring out a lot of books in the past few days to teach him to endorse.

She first took out a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and handed it to Zhou Xuan and asked.

"What about this book?"

But unexpectedly, Zhou Xuan could recite the content even if he couldn't read it.

Another book of Mencius is placed in front of Zhou Xuan.

"What about this book?"

Zhou Xuan sighed and recited the contents of the book to Huang Rong.

This really shocked Huang Rong. She was surprised and asked her side many times about what Zhou Xuan’s master was named, but Zhou Xuan kept his mouth shut and either changed the topic, which made her a headache.

Huang Rong pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled at Zhou Xuan as if she had made up some idea.

"Guo'er, it seems that your master is a knowledgeable and talented expert. Then I will teach you the unique secret skills of our Taohua Island, the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Qimen Dunjia. Your master can't have taught you these too."

Zhou Xuan replied in a daze.

"Yeah, I haven't taught it."

He is a cultivator with a profound Taoism. How could he not understand the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Qimen Dunjia? But he didn't want to expose too much, so he had to deal with it perfunctorily.
