According to its original meaning, "Three Hopes" has two interpretations; one is "Scholars hope for virtuous people, virtuous people hope for saints, and saints hope for heaven". That is to say, scholars hope to become wise men, wise men hope to become saints, and saints hope to become people who know heaven.
