Zhu Zi on the determination
Text/Qian Mu
The above is a brief description of Zhu Zi's self-denial. This should be briefly described as Zhu Zi's determination.
Words are respectful, words are quiet, words have not been issued to cultivate and examine, all do not shed the smell of theoretician, all require a lot of verbal explanation.
Words of self-denial, words of determination, then it is easy to know at the moment, not to bother to explain, but through and down, shallow and deep, as anyone is self-sufficient, can be kept and practiced, reducing the unique atmosphere of the theoretician.
Zhu Zi instructed people to cultivate methods, and every progress was beneficial and plain, so that the science of science became a kind of ordinary people's general learning, which was also the increasing turning point of Zhu Zi's thought.
Zhu Zi te set his mind to one, already in his old age. Zhu Zi youyun:
Once upon a time, a friend came here, a certain saying is not far away, you must know an interesting direction, but it is divided into him as a general idea, and it seems that it is not effective. When thinking about it today, scholars must be based on their aspirations.
If it is said that the essence of life is restored, and the ultimate of the sages is transcended, it must be determined to do so, and then do it and start to get it. If I know that I want to be a good person, I will stop knowing some truths, and it is advisable not to work hard.
Like Yan Zi's desire to stop, like the villain's widow for profit, he will never forget. If you don't make up your mind, you won't be able to do it.
Also known:
To learn now, it is necessary to seek to restore the beginning, and to seek the reason for the whole day to be with us, we must take the sage as the standard and achieve the status of the sage, so that the work is naturally courageous. If there is no heart for the sages, it will be wasted.
Looking at the illness of scholars in this world, they are all unmotivated. Wu Feng Yue: In order to learn in the determination to determine its roots, ju respect to hold its aspirations, this is a very good statement.
Everything must be determined. Reverence is within things, this is the delicate place. Aspire to be above this thing. Nothing can take it, and it is not shameful to break it.
Here according to Hu Wufeng's language, it is used to make up for the lack of respect for the work. Ju Jing must have a copy, which is the aspiration of a scholar. Reverence within things, there are inevitably small fragments, and aspirations stand on the table of things, and things cannot be seized, and this distinction is extremely important.
Also known:
There are many different paths in the world, and the saints do not go to other roads, but only to this road, and their aspirations are the depths of their hearts.
Zhi is a word in the depths of the heart, which is extremely easy to study and play. Theoreticians do not say what they want, and they cannot do this. Also known:
There are two kinds of people who do not aspire to learn. The first is that they have no knowledge at all and are unwilling to learn. First, although it is known, it is also the way to get the original, and it is not worried at the end, so it refuses to learn. The latter kind of ancient one does not exist, but only in recent years.
Ignorance cannot have aspirations, and this is the disease of ordinary people. Now it is said that it is wrong to know that it is wrong to know that it is true, but this disease has existed in recent years. This refers to Lu Xueyan.
Xiangshan taught people to aspire, and Zhu Zi also taught people to aspire in his later years, which is seen in Zhu Ziken and the leader of Lu Xue. However, Lu Xue only said that he was determined, not learned, so Zhu Zi specially cited the Five Peaks to save his shortcomings. Seeing Zhu Zi's eclecticism, and also seeing Zhu Zi's promise, he will deliberately achieve perfection.
Zhu Zi also said:
Pay close attention to it when you are idle, and understand it thoroughly, and it is useful to use it when you are in trouble. Nowadays, most people do not pay close attention to it when they are idle, and when they are about to do things, they are unwilling to make up their minds to deduce the truth, but they are content with shallowness, so they cannot grow and finally achieve nothing. Probably not having made up their minds, they have lived in vain.
This is not to be taken seriously when he is idle, not only does Lu Xue despise learning, but he also has this disease. And Zhu Zi attributed his coming to the point of not having made up his mind, which saw that the power of Zhu Zi's thinking in his later years became simpler and more accessible.
Zhu Zi also said:
In order to learn that although there are steps, but to make up one's mind, one must also see the approximate scale of righteousness, and if there is a fear in one's own inches and a courageous determination, then one can add to the discussion and play the work of playing, and save the power of provincial inspection, and expect to have it.
If it is leisurely and general, and there is no place to start, and it is said that it can go with this level, then I am afraid that the so-called solemn and respectful maintenance will have something to do, and if it survives and dies, it will be caught in vain, and there is no shrewdness, and it is indeed kind to the effect. But as in the other, sincerity is biased, and the words to the sun are the diseases of the generations, but they are the medicine of the sages, and I am afraid that they can be used as beneficial.
This is the Book of Zhu Zi and Ren, the Middle Qu Dynasty, referring to Lu Xueyan. It is biased to aspire to not learn from others. However, it is also a disease to know that Zhuang respects and maintains maintenance, but does not renew his ambition. Therefore, Zhu Zi taught people to benefit from each other. Later generations did not read Zhu Zi's book carefully, so they did not know that Zhu Zi's thinking in his later years was constantly improving.
Zhu Zi also said:
Read or not remember, read well can be remembered. Righteousness is not refined, careful thinking can be refined. But if there is no will, there is no place to start. Only now, greed for profit and not greed for morality, and to be a noble person instead of a good person, are all diseases of unfulfilled will. It is necessary to investigate the origin of the disease, to be brave and vigorous, and not to be such a person again.
Jumping out, seeing that none of the thousand words spoken by the sages were not true, Fang Began to make this decision. Accumulate work on this, go up, and there is a big thing.
What is said here is more practical and more earnest, and is intended to guide beginners to the beginning, and only to make up their minds. Those who have attained this ambition, accumulated work, and made great progress, then all those who have been brought to the Lord's quiet cultivation and introspection as above are all the reasons for understanding and understanding.
However, if this will is not established, then all of them will be unashamed. When Iroh lectured, the atmosphere was first opened, and those who came to know and admire were all people with aspirations. And Zhu Zi, the scientific atmosphere has become a well-known, and it may not all be true ambitions.
In his later years, Zhu Zi received a lot of responses and deepened his feelings, and he began to reveal the word "determination" as the basis of teaching. The Lu brothers, on the other hand, have always been respected by Zhu Zi, and although there are differences in the path of learning, in zhu zi's meaning, they must want to talk to each other in order to make them one. Such affection, later generations on Zhu Lu's similarities and differences, unfortunately also failed to recognize.
Zhu Zi also discussed the difference between zhi and yi:
HengQuyun: Public and private, look at this self-proclaimed. Zhi is clear, and the meaning is cloudy. Zhi Ben is rigid, and the meaning is soft. The intention has the meaning of standing, and the meaning has the meaning of stealing. Gong Zi looked carefully, and when he saw that he was proud of himself, he said that he was saying that he could not seize his will.
The meaning is selfish, so it must be sincere. Aspirations can be achieved immediately, and there are no false aspirations. Among the theoreticians, only Zhu Zi is the best at speaking, and Zhu Zi is often called Hengqu. In these places, it is not specifically concerned with the analysis of written exhortations, but rather with the analysis of psychological situations.
This kind of discernment is not only observed from the outside, but is obtained from the practice of tantric evidence in one's own daily life. Instructing the human heart, it is extremely necessary to understand that such as sex and emotion, intention and intention, all have their own boundaries, each has its own way, and it must be recognized clearly before it can work.
When the work is wrong, it affects from here and elsewhere. Where is it to say that it is enough to be dedicated. However, Zhu Ziyan's heart and mind study are the most meticulous and thoughtful among the theorists, and they see themselves carefully in the above chapters.
