Chapter 272 0267 [Establishing the Way](2/2)

"In the fifth year of Zhenghe's reign, I visited Zhu Ming, Zhu Chenggong," Chen Yuan said. "Although this person claims to be my disciple, I am also a teacher and friend. He established the path of Confucianism with Er Cheng's words, supplemented by Taoist theories.

.Once this Tao is published, it can be passed on to all generations and become a prominent teaching in the world!"

The students were shocked and inexplicable. This was too big a statement.

Chen Yuan handed over the manuscript: "Please circulate it."

There were more than twenty students, but the scholars could not spread the word, so someone recited it from the manuscript.

I read it aloud once, but I still didn’t fully understand it, so I read it a second time.

After several times, the students finally understood that Chen Yuan was not lying.

There were people in the Tang and Song Dynasties who praised "The Great Learning", but it was not systematic. Zhu Ming plagiarized Zhu Xi's academic work and made "The Great Learning" contain scriptures, biographies and annotations, so that it could be written as a separate book.

This commentary was born out of nowhere and will inevitably spread rapidly. As long as the imperial court does not forcefully interfere, it will definitely spread more and more widely. The Three Cardinal Guidelines and Eight Eyes will become the principles of life and work for all scholars.

It is so provocative and a summary of the understanding of the saint’s words!

From now on, scholars should be virtuous, be close to the people, and strive for perfection.

From now on, scholars should study things to gain knowledge, be sincere and correct their minds, cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern their country and bring peace to the world.

It sets a set of standards for scholars and plans life goals for scholars. Everyone can become a gentleman as long as they follow it.
