1. 正心诚意文言文

正心诚意 (from Wang Yangming's disciple's compilation "Transmission of Learning") 正心誠意- 答罗整庵少宰书 Luo Zhengan (1465 - 1547 AD), that is, Luo Qingshun, the word Yunsheng, the number of Zhengan.

In the Ming Dynasty, he was a native of Taihe, Jiangxi Province. He was a scholar, and served as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and Shaozai (an alternative name for the Minister of Revenue in the Ming and Qing dynasties).

Academically, Mr. Yangming advocated that the reason is in the sky and in the heart, and that the reason and gas are one and the same, and he wrote the book Difficulty in Knowing. Mr. Yangming's reply was written in the fifteenth year of Zhengde, and Luo's letter can be found in Volume 5 of the Appendix to the Records of Difficult Knowledge.

See Mingru Xueji, Volume 47. Original text A Tengshouqi: Yesterday, I was taught The Great Learning, but I was in a hurry and could not answer it.

The first time I read it, I was in a hurry to get it back. I'm afraid that after Gan, there will be a lot of people coming back, so I'm going to ask you to do it first.

The teaching is: "It is difficult to see the Tao, but it is especially difficult to realize the Tao.

I'm afraid I can't rest on my laurels and try to think of it as the ultimate rule." I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I think I'm going to be able to! I am not sure if I have heard this before, but I am sure I have heard it before. I am very happy to hear this, and I dare to think of myself as the ultimate rule and settle down. The first thing that I want to do is to make it clear that the world is not a place for us to live, but a place for us to live.

And a few years ago, heard his words and non-laughing people have carried on, criticized the people have carried on, put the insufficient comparison of the discourse of the people have carried on, it is willing to try to teach me? He is willing to teach me, and repeated metaphor, sympathetic but afraid of not saving the correct? Then the world's love for me, there is nothing like the deacon's heart deep and to the point, grateful when how! Confucius thought that he was worried that "virtue is not cultivated and learning is not taught". And the world's scholars can be a little bit of training and exegesis, that is, they all think they know the study, no longer have the so-called lectures of the request, sad!

Dao must learn and then Ming, not outside the lecture and then have the so-called Ming Dao thing. The first is that it is not possible to make a decision on what to do, but the second is that it is not possible to make a decision on what to do.

Speaking of the mouth and ears, speculation and measurement, the impact of the search is also.

The first one is the one who is not a member of the family, and the second one is the one who is a member of the family who is not a member of the family.

If you know this, then you know the study of Confucius.

Early in the morning, when I had a little time on the ship, I took out your letter and read it again. After the arrival of Jiangxi, I am afraid that there are many things to do, first of all, I would like to reply here, and please criticize and correct.

The letter reads: "It is difficult to see the Way, but it is even more difficult to recognize the Way. It is true that the Way is not easy to understand, but it is also true that learning cannot be left out.

I am afraid that one cannot regard one's own opinion as the highest standard of learning." A great honor! How shall I hear these words? How dare I think that I have attained the highest standard and be satisfied with it? I am trying to make a point about the way of the world.

For many years, the people of the world have mocked, abused, and disdained my teachings. Will these people be willing to teach me? I'm not sure if they are willing to teach me again and again so that I can understand, but I'm afraid they won't be able to save me, right? But of all those who love me, who else is as thoughtful as you are, and how can I be grateful to you?

Confucius was y concerned about the "lack of cultivation of virtue and the lack of learning". But today's scholars as long as a few days of reading, a little understanding of the exegesis, they think they can know the learning, and no longer go to talk about the search, really sad! The Tao, must be physically observed before you can see, not after seeing the Tao *** the effort of inspecting the Tao.

Dao, must be learned to understand, not in the lecture outside of the matter of understanding the Dao. However, nowadays there are two kinds of lecturers: those who use their mind and body to lecture, and those who use their mouth and ears to lecture.

Those who use their mouths and ears to lecture, speculate and make guesses, and talk about all the things that are specious and specious. But if you use your body and mind to teach, what you say and do is indeed what you have.

If you know this, you know Confucius' doctrine well. [Commentary] Confucius said, "I am not a man born with knowledge, but a man who loves the classics and seeks knowledge by diligent inquiry."

He also said, "Saint, I am not yet able to; I am only tirelessly seeking and tirelessly teaching." Therefore, he was extremely annoyed with the kind of people who were disheveled in their studies and biased in their knowledge, and criticized such people, saying, "Virtue is not cultivated, learning is not taught, hearing is not migrated, and badness cannot be corrected."

Mr. Yang Ming here confessed his own and Kong Laozi the same worries. Original text to teach that a certain "University" of the ancient text of the restoration, to the people of the study but when to seek to the internal, and Cheng, Zhu said that the material can not help but seek to the external, so go to the sub-chapter of the Chu Chiu, and cut the biographies of its complementary.

Nonetheless, it is also true.

Loss is overconfidence in Confucius, not to go to Zhu Zi sub-chapter and cut its biography. The first thing I want to do is to get to the heart of the study, and seek to the heart and not also, although the words out of Confucius, not dare to think that it is also, not to mention that it has not been and Confucius? The heart but also, although its words out of mediocrity, do not dare to think that it is not, not to mention that it is out of Confucius?

Also, what is the basis for determining that this paragraph must be in the other, the other paragraph must be in this, and how this is missing, and how it is supplemented? And then to correct and supplement the seizure, is not heavier than the back of Zhu and lighter than the betrayal of Kong has been? Translation In the letter, you think that the reason why I want to restore the old version of the University, mainly because I think that human learning should only be in the heart to explore, and Cheng, Zhu Geshu's point of view can not help but to the outside of the heart to explore. Thus I have deleted Zhu Xi's practice of re-dividing the chapters, and cut down the passages he added.

I dare not do so.

I dare not do so. The old version of the University is also the old version of Confucius' biography, Zhu Xi suspected that it has omitted errors and re-corrected and supplemented, I think that the old version of the University did not omit errors, all according to the old version.

I may have too much faith in Confucius' faults, and I do not intend to reject Zhu Xi's practice of re-dividing the chapters and deleting the passages he added. The most important thing to learn is to get something in your heart.

I think in my heart is wrong, even if it is the words of Confucius, I do not dare to say that it is correct, let alone those who are not as good as Confucius? What I think in my heart is right, even if it is the speech of ordinary people, I dare not think it is wrong, not to mention those who are not as good as Confucius. Moreover, the old text has been handed down for thousands of years, and when read now, it is catchy in terms of the language; in terms of the work, it is both easy and feasible. By what means can it be affirmed that this paragraph must be there, and that paragraph must be here? Is there something missing here, and what needs to be added there? And, then, correct it and add to it appropriately.

2. Zheng Xin Cheng Yi (正心诚意) 文言文

Zheng Xin Cheng Yi (from Wang Yangming's disciple's compilation, "Transmission of the Book of Learning") Zheng Xin Cheng Yi - 答罗整庵少宰書 Luo Zhenan (1465 - 1547 AD), that is, Luo Qinshun, the word Yunsheng, the name of Zhenan.

See Ming Ru Xue Ci, Volume 47. Original text A Tengshouqi: Yesterday, I was taught The Great Learning, but I was in a hurry and could not answer it.

The first time I read the book, I was able to read it in my own time. I'm afraid that after Gan, there will be a lot of people coming back, so I'm going to ask for a brief explanation.

The teaching is: "It is difficult to see the Tao, but it is especially difficult to realize the Tao. Road Cheng is not easy to understand, and learning Cheng can not not speak.

And a few years ago, heard his words and non-laughing people have carried on, criticized the people have carried on, put the insufficient comparison of the discourse of the people have carried on, it is willing to do so to teach me? Is he willing to teach me, and repeatedly explain to me, sympathetic but afraid of not saving the correct?

And the world's scholars can be a little bit of training and exegesis, that is, they all think they know the study, no longer have the so-called lectures of the request, sadly!

If you know this, then you know the study of Confucius.

Confucius was y concerned about the "lack of cultivation of virtue and the lack of learning". But today's scholars as long as a few days of reading, a little bit of exegesis, they think they can know the learning, and no longer go to talk about the search, really sad!

Nonetheless, it is also true.

I dare not do so.

3. Righteousness and sincerity, moistens the eight

Righteousness and sincerity is an inner moral cultivation process advocated by ancient Chinese Confucianism. It is a process of inner moral cultivation advocated by Confucianism in ancient China. The correct heart is to say that the heart should be upright without evil thoughts; the sincerity is to say that the intention must be sincere without self-deception. In the Book of Rites - University, "Whoever wants to cultivate his body, first corrects his mind; whoever wants to correct his mind, first honors his will".

Confucianism believes that the human heart is affected by anger, fear, pleasure, worry and other passions, and will not be correct, and the heart must be sincere, in order to not be chaotic and correct. Therefore, "if you want to correct your heart, you must first be sincere". The key to sincerity lies in the "realization of knowledge through the study of material things". Only when one's understanding of feudal moral concepts is improved can one be convinced of righteousness and actively restrain one's passions. In this way, because of the sincerity of intention and the correctness of the heart, personal morality is perfected, the relationship between father and son is formed in the family, and the political ideal of ruling the country and pacifying the world is realized. Righteousness and sincerity of intention is the way to reach the supreme moral state of righteousness and sincerity of heart.

Runs have to make moist; not dry: the spring rain moistens the earth | when the irrigation, often make the moist; ② Enze: the ministers are not moistened, the generous virtue; ③ to give favors: the virtue of the teachings, moistening the sea and the world and other meanings. The eight directions refer to " East, West, South, North, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast eight directions ", now refers to all parties.

4. Sincerity

The so-called sincerity of one's intention is not to deceive oneself.

As in the case of a bad odor, as in the case of a good color, this is called self-effacement. Therefore, a gentleman must be careful of his solitude[1].

The villain lives in idleness [2] for the bad, everything, see the gentleman and then disgusted [3], cover its bad, and its good. The people's view of themselves, such as to see their lungs and liver, then what is the benefit.

This is the sincerity in the, form in the outside, so the gentleman must be cautious of its sole also[4]. Zeng Zi said: "Ten eyes to see, ten hands to point, it is strict! [5] "Rich Run House, Virtue Run body, heart wide body fat [6], so the gentleman must be sincere in its intentions.

[7][1] Sincerity of their intentions, the first of the self-cultivation. The word "no" is a word of prohibition.

Self-deception cloud, know that the good to remove the evil, but the heart of the hair has not been real. The word "evil," "good," and the word "good" are all de-vocalized.

Humility, read as dissatisfaction, bitter hijacking counter; fast also, enough. The only one is the one who does not know, but he knows only.

It is said that those who want to cultivate themselves know that they should be good in order to get rid of their evils, then they should utilize their strength and prohibit their self-deception. So that the evil is as bad as the evil smell, good is as good as the good color, all the business decision to go and seek to get, in order to self-satisfaction in their own, can not be in vain to play favorites outside and for people.

However, this is not true, and there are others who do not know as well as those who know only themselves, so we must be careful in this to review its several. [2] Idle, sound idle.

Idle residence, alone. [3] Aversion, Zheng reads black spots.

"Bored with dark spots" means "tired of it". [4] This is to say that if the villain's Yin is not good, and the Yang wants to cover it up, then he does not know that the good should be good and the evil should go away; but he cannot utilize his power to do so.

However, if you want to cover up your evil, but you can't, and if you want to cheat for good, but you can't, then there is no benefit! [5] This is the meaning of the above quote.

Although the word is secluded in the middle, and its good and evil can not be hidden so, can be feared very much. [6] Fat, step Dan anti-, Anshu also.

[7] said that the rich can run the house is carried out, Germany is able to run the body is carried out, so the heart is no subterfuge, then the vast wide and flat, and the body is always Shu Tai, Germany's run the body of the person is also. The goodness of the real in the form of the outside so, so again said this to end.

The six chapters of the right biography explain "sincerity". [1][1] The scripture says: "To be sincere, first realize its knowledge."

Also said: "Knowledge and then sincere intention." If the heart of the body of the Ming has not yet been exhausted, then its hair will not be able to utilize its power, but to deceive themselves.

However, if you are not careful about this, then you will not be able to use your own knowledge, and you will not be able to use it as a basis for your own moral development.

The so-called sincerity of their intentions, not self-deception.

This is the first time I've seen a new version of the book, and I've never seen it before.

Therefore, the gentleman must be careful with his own.

The first thing you need to do is to recognize your own heart, your own nature.

Knowing that the heart is the body of wisdom, the body and reach the use of the body, the true faith and sincerity. If you don't recognize it, you don't have true knowledge.

Awareness is not penetrating, cannot be initiated. Because his faith is not firm and his intention is not sincere, to be sincere in his intention is self-deception as well.

The heart is filled with greed, and the mind with love. The first thing you need to do is to get your mind off of it, and then you have to go back to it.

Knowing that life is like a fantasy, and being tired of the social family, and wanting to have another paradise outside the world, and being tired of the social life like a stench is also self-deception.

The way of the university is urgent, love the reason of the university, poor, cherish as life.

Love and give up everything, meant to be good, is too eager to seek. The great scholars, the model of the inner sage and the outer king.

Tight collapse, slow loose, not tight and not slow to succeed. The first thing you need to do is to take care of the saints, but not the mortals.

The first thing that I want to do is to make sure that I have a good idea of what I want to do and what I want to do. The university achievement of natural sincerity, non-consciousness of boredom and good.

Those who practice truth are sincere. That is to say, prudent thinking, rationalization, up to the truth is the true practitioner.

Blindly eager to achieve the past, do not slacken in the progress. The university is a compass for cultivating the human model.

When it comes to behavior, the wise will know. The idea is to work from the heart and to develop the gift of wisdom.

The reasoning is clear and thorough, and the heart is self-explanatory, not overnight. The foundation of sincerity is: pure sincerity without two thoughts.

Thousands of thoughts, the ambush this rise, a thought after a thought, think of everything, the birth of everything, think of everything, respond to all the changes, the spirit of concentration, this is a thought of pure sincerity of the work of sincerity. A mind a thought are all very different, tedious and complex tofu account, the account can be clear, realize that all thoughts empty.

This is called erudition, interrogation, prudent thinking, discernment, and independent thinking kung fu. That is: "Therefore, the gentleman must be cautious of his solitude."

That is to say, peace and then can be considered. Uncertainty about the nature of the quiet peace and anxiety may appear abnormal state of mind consciousness, the anxiety as a self-centered not quiet, as a nonsense.

Consideration is a thought, consideration of a thousand different things, there is no two thoughts from the birth. The mind is born of two thoughts, and the mind is delusional, and there are two things that are not true.

Considering one idea is purely a normal thinking activity. The two delusional thoughts, that is, want to stop thinking activities to achieve empty and no idea is the problem of anxiety.

The patient also stinks. Ignore him, let the thoughts come and go freely, that is, no good and no stink of the natural way.

Returning to the natural original one mind, one thought, the only one is prudent. This is the sincerity.

This is the Yellow Emperor's "independent and keep God", Laozi's "hold the essence of one", Confucius' "stick to the center of one", Sakya's "all laws are one, one nature is clear", and "all laws are one. Sakka's "All Laws Return to One, and One Nature Becomes One" is derived from the sincerity of sincerity, which is the spirit of sincerity, and the spirit of sincerity, which is the spirit of brightness. The heart is bright, the wisdom is open, and the heart of righteousness and light is present, which is the sincerity of the intention and then the heart is correct.

The heart as grass, trees, rocks, and nothing to think about is a taboo of sincerity, is the heart of the great danger. King Wen's poor reasoning to reach the fate of the sky, Shun's fine 10,000 law, Dharma all depends on the heart of the work.

Do not think not, so consider and then Mingde. The small man living in idleness for not good, everything, see the gentleman and then disgusted, cover its not good, and its good.

People look at themselves, such as seeing their lungs and liver, then why not carry on. This is said to be sincere in the middle, the shape in the outside, so the gentleman must be cautious of its own.

Comment on the life of the community, the establishment of a family, fame, fortune, honoring the ancestors, people in front of the noble, the heart of prosperity, people have, this is correct.

And the heart of the upward trend is not willing to be backward is correct, absolutely can step into the bright road. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new computer, and then you have to go back to your computer.

People don't see the harm in profit, and fish don't see the hook in food. The people who see profit and forget righteousness are treacherous and sinister.

Lao Tzu said that there is no door to disaster or happiness by the people themselves. This chapter starts from the heart, and the sword cuts off the inner world of killing, stealing, lusting, drinking and delusion.

The soil is again suitable, the heart does not give birth to bad seeds, the evil fruit naturally not born. It's hard to fix a leak when you're in the center of the river, and it's hard to rein in a horse when you're on the verge of a cliff.

On the deception of the ancestors, the next destroy the son, the stench of thousands of years, is not to cultivate the sincerity of the heart of the fault. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and then you'll be able to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world.

Wine is not sinful, and the irrational person is a drunkard. All is born of the heart and created by the heart.

The positive heart of the perfect merit phase, independent thinking to remove the dirt, show the light to be a gentleman. Dancing itself is not wrong, it is also a normal social activity, the heart of the evil intention to be raped and killed.

Male as a gentleman, female.

5. What is the right heart and sincerity

Originally a method of cultivation advocated by Confucianism, now also refers to the heart of the correct and sincere. It is a state of moral cultivation advocated by Confucianism.

Source: Li Ji - University: "If you want to cultivate your body, you should first correct your mind; if you want to correct your mind, you should first be sincere; if you want to be sincere, you should first realize your knowledge; and to realize your knowledge is in the material world."

Translation: "To correct the heart means that the heart must be upright and free from evil thoughts; to be sincere means that the heart must be sincere and free from self-deception. It is believed that as long as the intention is sincere, the heart is pure, and the self is morally perfected, the moral ideal of the family being aligned, the country being ruled, and the world being pacified can be realized.

Extended Information

The Book of Rites - The Great Learning has never been printed separately before the Southern Song Dynasty, and is rumored to have been written by Zeng Sen (505~434 BC), a disciple of Confucius. Tang Dynasty Han Yu, Li Ao and other "University", "Medieval Times" as "Mencius", "I Ching" as important as the "scriptures"; Song Dynasty, "two Cheng", Zhu Xi, ancestor of this point of view, and strive to promote its status in the scriptures, aimed at promoting science.

Zhu Xi will be "University", "Meanwhile", "Analects", "Mencius" and called "four books", in the Southern Song Dynasty Shaoxi first year (1190) engraved into the "four books chapter and verse set of notes", because the "Analects" record Confucius words and deeds, "University" for Zeng Zi, "Meanwhile" for the Zi Si, "Mencius" record of the words of the Mengzi, so it is also known as "four books". Therefore, it is also known as the "four books".

Yuan Yanyou years, with the "four books chapter and sentence set of notes" test scholar, hanging for the order of armor, from now on, "four books" become a lot of scholar dry Lu must read the classics.
