Knowledge can only be acquired through the understanding and research of everything; Only after acquiring knowledge can the mind be sincere; Sincere heart, square heart; With a correct attitude, you can cultivate your body and mind; Only after physical and mental cultivation can we manage our family and family well.
Only when the family and clan are well managed can the country be well managed; Only by governing the country well can the world be peaceful. From the monarch of a country to the common people, everyone should be self-cultivation-oriented.

Hint at the truth.
The ancients believed that in order to show their virtues in the world and let people live a happy life, we must first govern the country, and the premise of governing the country is to govern the family, and the basis of governing the family is to have good moral character.
To cultivate moral character, we must first put a correct attitude, and the methods are honesty, sincerity, respect and singleness. To tell the truth, we must have extremely rich knowledge, and the way to enrich knowledge lies in exhausting the truth of things.
If you want to make a difference in life, you must set a correct goal, just like building a house, you must draw a blueprint first and then add bricks and tiles; If you don't even lay the most basic foundation, even the best ideal is empty talk.
