Jingjing pavilion
There are pavilions and wells, and spring water flows out from below. Quiet, the source of heaven. If you don't work hard, your virtue will grow. Only when morality is updated can people who are thirsty be helped.
"Renewal" means that people constantly renew themselves in moral cultivation every day, just like washing away the dirt they are contaminated with every day. There is a saying in "University": "New is new, new is new." I ching? The copula also says: "Being rich is a great cause, and being new is a great virtue." In other words, innovation is a great virtue and the embodiment of one's own virtue. Only by showing your own virtue can you help others show their virtue. This is the meaning of "the way of a university, which is clear in virtue and close to (new) people" in "University".
"Well well" means clean and unchanging appearance, describing the clear cutting of spring water in the poem. Why is spring clear? Zhu, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, put it well: "The question channel is so clear because there is flowing water at the source." The flowing water at the source is the reason why the spring is cut off. Then, working hard on moral cultivation every day is the source of people's "Ming De". Mingde is true. Mingde is in people's minds, and the "source of living water" comes from people's own righteousness-justice.
A new talent in moral cultivation can be regarded as a spiritual "well well". The author compares "well well well" to those saints who "clearly show virtue on earth". This poem says: There is a pavilion on the mountain called "well well well pavilion", which is named after the spring water gushing from the foot of the mountain. The spring water is quiet and clear, and continuously flows out from the natural source. The author believes that the springs here will not be exhausted, and people's moral cultivation should be updated. Only when moral cultivation is updated can we achieve ourselves, benefit others like spring water and quench our thirst. The author compares people's moral cultivation with spring water, and expresses his great wish of "being famous in the world". Why the author named "Ganquan" can also be found in the poem.
Shitan
Water runs on a stone, but softness breaks rigidity. The trickle merged into a deep water and the dragon was hidden. ?
The literal meaning of this poem is straightforward: water flows over the stone and breaks through the obstacles of the stone with the strength of women. A trickle can merge into an abyss, and the dragon is hidden in it.
Running water is a metaphor for daily uninterrupted rehabilitation in moral cultivation; Stones are metaphors of obstacles in moral cultivation. These things seem difficult to move, but uninterrupted underground work can break through the obstacles encountered at work like running water breaking through the obstacles of stones. Time is very deep, just like a trickle can converge into a deep pool, and it will certainly achieve something.
Xiaolong, the legendary water dragon in China, has the spiritual power to make the spring inexhaustible. "Long Yin" means: as long as the time is deep, it will have its own "source of living water", so that people can understand Heaven everywhere. Zhan Ruoshui also pointed out in the poem "Sending Zoushan people to Xishan": "The mind is self-satisfied, broad and profound."
Self-satisfaction is self-understanding. It is the innate nature of human beings in the heart, and the "six classics" are just the truth of interpreting the heart, so the root of complacency lies in the heart. If you can be satisfied with your heart, your inner strength will be like an endless (vast) and inexhaustible (deep) spring.
Xiguzhai
Xi Zhi started from scratch in ancient times. Get used to nature and learn without learning. Turn power into work, and the secret can be caught. A mistake makes a fly, and a catty removes chalk.
"Learning from the ancients" refers to learning and practicing ancient classics. "South China University of Technology" means the power of nature, and in poetry it means profound moral cultivation. "Mistaken pens make flies" and "transporting gold to remove chalk" describe the realm of moral cultivation. In the author's view, only with the moral cultivation of "correct when you know your mistakes" and "haggle over every ounce" can justice be realized everywhere. The original intention of "mistaking a pen for a fly" is to paint the stain on the screen as a fly, describing the superb painting skills. "Jin to chalk", the language "Zhuangzi? Xu Wugui said that Du Yingren trusted the masons to cut off a thin layer of white ash on the tip of the nose. Under the mason's sharp axe, their faces remained unchanged and their hearts kept beating. Skilled masons failed to live up to the trust of the people of Du Ying.
This poem says: Through continuous study and practice, ancient classics are nothing more than my own inner annotations. Studying and practicing ancient Chinese classics to a natural state is like not studying and practicing ancient Chinese classics, but acting according to your own heart. Only with profound moral cultivation can we realize the truth of nature. If you paint the wrong stain on the screen as a fly and use a sharp axe to cut off a thin layer of white ash on your nose, justice can be achieved everywhere.
Fear of fasting
Shenlin is a junior, and bandits say he is a baby. An earthquake is not a funeral, and the heart is not wood. If God comes, God will calm himself. If you are afraid, you can't be right.
"Going deep" means walking on thin ice in the face of the abyss. This is a metaphor. In moral cultivation, we should be careful not to lose it. "Bi" is used to worship the ancestral temple. "One shock does not break the dagger", from the Book of Changes. It means that even if the thunder thundered for hundreds of miles, the gentleman who sacrificed in the ancestral temple would not panic and drop the dagger on the ground. "Earthquakes don't destroy daggers" was later used to describe that military discipline was strict, the people were blocked, and the ancestral temple sacrifices were not abolished. In this poem, it is said that a virtuous person will not be influenced by unexpected situations to pursue his own heart. "Tianjun", that is, "heart", has the meaning of domination. "Heaven is self-balanced" means that talents can listen to their own hearts.
The main idea of this poem is: moral cultivation should be cautious, like walking on thin ice, but caution does not mean trembling. A noble person will not be affected by unexpected circumstances when pursuing his own heart, because his heart is running water, not dry wood. Only when you can understand the principles of nature can you listen to your heart. If people still have fear, it is because their hearts are not right.
Pingnan paixing
The depth of the fishing pond is fascinating. Send clouds and water to resist high altitude. Frost meteorite, return to Hong and fly back. The cold weather is short, the journey is long and the trip is late. I feel sad at the end of the year. Wandering in the octupole, as two devices. The universe is a journey, and everything is a believer.
When Zhan Ruoshui was 47 years old (in the seventh year of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty, AD 15 12), he was appointed as the ambassador to Annan (now Vietnam). On the seventh day of February, it took nearly eleven months for Xu Xi to arrive in Pingnan County, Guidong, Guangxi, so Zhan Ruoshui rested in Pingnan for the New Year. Walking along the Jiang Xun River, he looked at the flowing water and missed his hometown, his wife and children. He couldn't help thinking a lot, and this song "Send Prosperity to Pingnan" happened. Although "Jixing Zipingnan" is a work expressing homesickness and personal feelings, it is full of philosophy and is the natural expression of Zhan Ruoshui's "understanding heaven everywhere".
The main idea of this poem is: there are deep-water dangerous beaches and rugged mountain roads along the way, which makes people wonder where to go. I can only pin my heart on running water and firm lofty aspirations. Trees damaged by cold wind and frost, geese from the north to the south began to fly back to the north. The weather is cold, the journey is long and the journey is slow. At the end of recent years, I can't help sighing. The spirit can travel far, but the body is limited to heaven and earth. The universe is a journey, and everything goes on foot in this journey.
There are many ancient poems expressing homesickness and homesickness, including "there is such bright light at the foot of my bed, is there already frost?" And "but how much love has an inch of grass, and returns to the splendid spring." All these poems have a common feature, that is, they link people's emotions with things in nature. As the saying goes, "Where petals flow like tears, lonely birds sing their sorrows", different people will feel different about the same scenery, or at different times. Whether it is passive "touching the scene" or active "empathy", it is the result of "harmony between man and nature"
Zhan Ruoshui lamented that although people can't get together at any time due to the limitation of time and space, missing can take people's emotions to far places, and it is the heart of missing that brings people closer. Looking up at the starry sky, people often feel homesick and sigh, "Where is the root of everything?" Some people also say that looking up at the starry sky is "finding the way home", because most of those starlight were issued tens of thousands of years ago, and because of the expansion of the universe, the distance between the earth and the stars is getting farther and farther. For billions of years, the earth has followed the Milky Way. "The universe is a journey, and everything is a disciple" (the universe is a journey, and everything walks in this journey), which is a very poetic and wonderful metaphor. Is everything in the universe looking for a way home?
Jingzhi
The wind and cloud come from the sky, the land of dragons and snakes. A gentleman is respectful without words.
"Respect" means that people's every move is disrespectful and does not conform to the path of perfection. "Yuan Yuan Mu Mu" refers to people's behavior with dignity and respect.
This poem is about how a gentleman should behave. The general idea is that even in the face of sudden storms, dragons, snakes and other creatures are restless, and every move of a gentleman is disrespectful and incompatible with the path of perfection.
The inspiration of this poem comes from the poem "From King Wen to Ji" in Daya Wang Wen. This poem eulogizes Zhou Wenwang's virtue, disrespect in every move, and all the ways that are incompatible with perfection. Really a model of a gentleman.
Inscription: stepping into the bridge
Into the shoe heart, you can teach. I have never heard of Howe, Elias.
Walking on the Bridge describes the story that Sean, a hero of the Western Han Dynasty, helped Huang Shigong to pick up shoes under the bridge. On a sunny day, Zhang Liangbu walked to the bridge. An old man on the bridge saw Sean coming, deliberately dropped his shoes from the bridge and asked Sean to pick them up. Sean was unhappy, but he picked up his shoes. The old man crossed his legs and asked Sean to help him put on his shoes. Sean was very angry and wanted to hit someone, but he still held back his anger and helped the old man put on his shoes. It turns out that this old man is the famous strategist Huang Shigong. He thought that Sean was "an obedient godson", so he taught Sun Tzu's Art of War to Sean, which made him achieve something.
The main idea of this poem is that only a person who is sincere as a bridge can teach him the way of being a saint. But unfortunately, I haven't heard of this good method for a long time. I don't know what the mystery is.
The poem "Sorry about the teacher's biography, I have never heard of Howe, Elias" is the author's reflection on readers. The author hopes to inspire readers to respect teachers, study hard and understand nature.
Inscription: Sleeping Map of Yi Xi
Not waking up is a dream, and waking up is also a dream. What's the use of dreaming for years?
Sleeping in the West is a painting of Chen Tuan, a famous Taoist priest in the Five Dynasties, sleeping in a cave. Chen Tuan's Mr. Yi Xi Yi Xi, sleeping is a special health-keeping exercise he invented. To put it simply, Yi Xi sleeps on his side (both sides), holds his head in one hand, sticks his palm to his navel in the other, and then concentrates on the part behind his navel.
Taoism is good at keeping in good health, and even some people just want to prolong life. In this regard, Zhan Ruoshui criticized that if you only pursue the length of life with one heart and not the breadth and depth, you don't even understand the truth of nature. What's the use of longevity?
Chen Tuan believes that "people have no dreams" and "real people have no sleep", and the sleep and dreams of people and real people are mysterious. This poem by Zhan Ruoshui not only criticizes people who are committed to health preservation, but also refutes Chen Tuan's illusory view of sleep: waking up is a dream. Since it is all a dream, what is the use of longevity?
Some people have long compared life to a dream, while others suspect that maybe death is waking up from the dream of life. People are really strange. People want to live a long life, but they often feel bored and depressed. They need to find something to do to kill time. I hope to live a long life, just to live a long life. There are different answers to the meaning of life. Probably few people agree that the meaning of life is to live as long as possible. Philosophers say that if life is not connected with "justice", what's the point of being long? In Zhan Ruoshui's view, it is man's understanding of nature that awakens him from the dream of life.

There is nothing in my heart, and heaven has seen it. What is justice, noumenon is natural. The outline is muddy, and it is awkward at four o'clock. Don't forget not to help, even saints.
"Don't forget not to help", that is, help yourself without forgetting your roots, is an effort of Confucian moral cultivation, which requires people to pursue "heart" in moral cultivation, without deliberate, artificial and bound by external things.
The author uses this poem to tell students the main idea of moral cultivation. The general idea is: the heart is not bound by external things, and justice is in the present. What is justice? Heaven is the pure initial state of the heart. Heart, broad and simple, contains and runs through the four seasons. Do a good job of "don't forget to help", and the holy way in your heart is consistent with justice.
Mr. Liang Qichao's "Academic History of China for Nearly 300 Years" mentioned: "There are two methods of reasoning and understanding of Confucianism in Song Dynasty. First, justice-that is, heaven-refers to a seemingly empty virtual body, striving to' recognize justice everywhere', and the result is that' people want to be pure and justice prevails'. Second, physics refers to the objective principle of things, starting from' that is, everything in the world is poor because of its known principle, thus reaching extremes', and the result is' once it is suddenly enlightened. Then everything is fine and thick, and the use of the heart is unknown. "
Mr. Liang Qichao's thought of "knowing everything" was first put forward by Zhan Ruoshui. From Liang Qichao's summary, we can see that the "reason" pursued by Confucianism takes into account both "natural reason" (moral reason) and "physical reason" (natural reason), which can be said to respect morality and seek knowledge, making it broad and profound. However, since ancient times, Confucianism in Song Dynasty and even Confucianism has been based on moral principles, lacking the spirit of pursuing natural principles in western philosophy, hoping to solve only the big problems and principles of life and the universe, rather than making a detailed and basic inquiry into nature. Liang Qichao pointed out sharply: "In fact, two things are just one thing. Because their highest purpose is to gain an illusory spiritual realm from the heart, that is, to grasp the great books and the great plains in knowledge, and the rest are branches and leaves. "
Reason is just one thing. Moral rationality and natural rationality are both natural rationality. Inner morality and the mystery of the universe are also the fundamental pursuit of mankind. Understanding natural principles can promote understanding of moral principles, and vice versa. In other words, "managing tomorrow everywhere" should have been an era of giving consideration to both moral principles and natural principles, but China's traditional culture neglected the exploration of natural principles.
? "Scholar" is to realize the coexistence of moral principles and natural principles.
Even my pen shows that Zhang is the messenger of Sima Jin.
Heaven and earth are in harmony, yin is yang, and rain is frost. Sages are virtuous, happy and angry, and literary and martial. Or yield, or fruit. Like a person, I am very relaxed. Now I'm relaxed, working together in civilian and military positions. With me, there is nothing to pay.
When Zhan Ruoshui was an official in the imperial court, the name of "contemporary true Confucianism" was widely praised, so many officials would ask Zhan Ruoshui for advice on how to be an official, how to be civil and military, and how to learn. This poem was written by Zhan Ruoshui in response to a colleague's inquiry.
The virtue of heaven and earth is consistent with the virtue of saints. This great virtue is to harmonize Yin and Yang and keep pace with the times. Zhan Ruoshui tells this truth simply and concisely in his poems. The main idea of this poem is that the virtue of heaven and earth is manifested in yin and yang and in rain and frost. The virtue of a saint is manifested in anger and affection, and in civil and military affairs. Whether it is the virtue of heaven and earth or the virtue of saints, they are sometimes modest and gentle, and sometimes they are resolute. Just like a person's whole body, I am either relaxed or stretched in myself. I control my relaxation. Literature and martial arts are the same thing. I have mastered the fundamental truth myself, so my skills can be used properly anywhere.
