Chapter 142: From Xinxue to the Imperial Examination



Xu Yan thought that this question was not too biased.

The title comes from "Mencius": As for flowing water, it will not flow unless it is full; as for the gentleman's aspiration to the Tao, it will not be achieved unless it is complete.

"My dear disciple, try to solve it."

Xu Yan pondered for a moment and said, "A gentleman's learning is aimed at the Tao. Without gradual accumulation and change, there will be no pattern. The Tao of the sage is great and has a foundation. Those who study it must follow a gradual approach, aiming for advancement in their careers."

Qian Dehong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your analysis is good. I will teach you how to solve the problem cleverly in this situation."

After a brief pause, Qian Dehong said in a clear voice: "When discussing the creation of the Tao by a gentleman, there is a sequence. It is the order of learning after the chapter is completed. If one is determined to pursue the Tao, how can he not work on this?"

The so-called creation of Tao refers to improving one's moral cultivation.

Wang Shouren once said in "Chuanxilu": The ancient version of "The Great Learning" says that to investigate things is to create the Tao, and it also says that to explore the principles is like to explore the inside of one's nest, and to reach it with one's body.

Mr. Qian did not follow the existing pattern to solve the problem. Instead, he took a unique approach and chose to start from the perspective of "sequence".

This avoids getting entangled in the interpretation of the gentleman's ambition.

When more than half of the hundred people solve the problem in this way, the examiner would have been sick of it long ago.

At this time, when the examiner sees an article with a novel perspective, he must be so moved that tears are about to fall, right?

It is not impossible to check and pass immediately.

After all, there are so many articles that if you read them all you will be exhausted.

Well begun is half done, this is a great skill for taking the imperial examination.
