Cheng Yi talked about the affairs of the world: determination, responsibility and seeking talents

Mr. Ikawa said: "There are three things that are especially important in the world: one is determination, the second is responsibility, and the third is seeking merit... Of the three, the restoration is based on determination. The so-called aspirants, sincere and single-minded, with the Tao of self-appointment, with the teachings of the saints as the credibility, the rule of the first kings as a feasible, not stuck in the near rules, not to the mouth of the people, will be expected to the world as three generations of the world. ——" For the family king should be edicted to emperor Yingzong's book"

In his letter to Emperor Yingzong, Cheng Yi stressed that the affairs of the world should pay special attention to determination, responsibility and seeking talents. It is necessary to establish a lofty ambition and goal of serving the country and the people, clarify the sense of responsibility, and seek meritocracy to govern the country. Of the three, ambition is the foundation. Determined to be honest and single-minded, to realize the holy king's family's world under the road as their responsibility, to the saint's teachings as the inevitable can be believed, the first king to rule the world as inevitable can be implemented in the present, not to be stagnated by the convention, not to be confused by the divergence of opinions, must hope that the world can achieve the goal of the rule of the ancient three generations.

In short, Cheng Yi believes that to govern the world well, first of all, we must be determined to implement the rule of the saints and kings, and then clarify the responsibility and seek the rule of the sages.
