Academic Study Of "Repairing Oneself And Settling People" In "The Great Learning"

"The Great Learning" was originally an article in the "Book of Rites".Zhu Xiselected it from the "Book of Rites" with the "Doctrine of Mean",the "Analects of Confucius" and "Meng Zi" and called the "Four Books".Besides,he summed up the main contents of "the Great Learning" with the "three programs" and "eight items",which had a great influence on the later generations.The "three programs" means clearly being virtuous,loving the people and arriving at supreme goodness."Eight entries" are things,knowledge,sincerity,sincerity,self-cultivation,family equality,governing the country,and leveling the world.In this paper,the spirit of "the Great Learning" is reduced to "repairing oneself and settling people".On the basis of exploring and studying the internal theory to grasp its academic connotation,the paper deepens the understanding of "the way of the Great Learning" and understands the spirit and realm of "repairing oneself and settling people" of "the Great Learning"."Cultivating oneself and settling people" is the spirit of "the Great Learning" and is closely related to Confucius' s thought.In fact,"the Great Learning" is about the relationship between morality and industry.From the perspective of education,"the Great Learning" is teaching people to "repairing oneself and settling people" to achieve gentleman's "morality and industry" [Wang Fuzhi's words: "the predicate of the Great Learning,so teach people to repair people and become adults." "Repairing oneself to govern people" contains certain political color.From the perspective of education,it is "repairing oneself and settling people".]."The way of the Great Learning" is also a way for gentlemen to achievement of morality and industry.The key to achievement of morality and industry is to "repairing oneself and settling people".The spiritual source of "repair oneself and settle people" of "the Great Learning" is associated with the "Analects of Confucius" "Zi Lu asked gentleman" chapter [Analects of Confucius] constitutional questions: Zi Lu asked gentlemen.Zi said: "to repair oneself to respect." Said,"it's just like that?" He said,"repair yourselfto the people." Said,"it's just like that?" He said,"to repair yourself to the people." In order to repair the people,Yao and Shun are all sick.] This chapter is Confucius' s profound interpretation of the gentleman's way,and the spirit of "repairing oneself and settling people" is fully reflected and developed in "the Great Learning".The spirit of "repairing oneself and settling people" has inherent unity with the "way ofthe Great Learning".The root of "repairing oneself" lies in the "Ming and Ming morality".The meaning of "settling people" lies in "the people of the people"."Repairing oneself" and "settling people" are in an integrated way to "arriving at supreme goodness".The pre-Qin Confucian put forward the premise of "man and nature as one" and it is It is an important theoretical basis for "repairing oneself and settling people" of "the Great Learning"."Repairing oneself" and "settling people" are in the organic interaction of human and in order to become adults.Human nature is the root of human being.The essence of "repairing oneself and settling people" of "the Great Learning" is to manifest human nature and become adults in the manifestation of human nature."the Great Learning" emphasizes that "from the emperor to the common people,it is all based on self-cultivation".Because,self-cultivation is to repair oneself."Repair oneself" is in the "settling people"."settling people" is also "repair oneself"."Repairing oneself and settling people" embodies the basic way of thinking in which Confucianism is based on value and beyond value.The basic theory of "repairing oneself and settling people" is not only implied in the "the way of The Great Learning",but also in the internal logic relationship of "eight entries".The internal logical relationship between the "eight items" is concentric circles and the core is "Gewu-zhizh".But the eight item is based on repair.In other words,whether it is things,knowledge,sincerity,positive heart,or family planning,ruling the country and leveling the world,it is basically self-cultivation."Eight items" is not only the way to repairing oneselff,but also the manifestation and embodiment of the meaning of "repairing oneself".The Confucian teaching philosophy of the pre-Qin period is a study of meaning."Ming and Ming morality" and "the people of the people","eight items" in "The Great Learning" are unified to "arriving at supreme goodness".Goodness is life.The supreme goodness contains the way of life,is the eternal meaning and the highest state of life meaning.It is a sublimation to the realm of life and the meaning of life."Arriving at supreme goodness" is the sublimation of the meaning of life,and also the spiritual pursuit and fundamental significance of "repairing oneself and settling people" of "the Great Learning".
