Idioms and allusions

Mr. Zhang Dainian, a famous philosopher, historian of philosophy and master of Sinology, Professor of Philosophy Department of Peking University, summed up the Chinese national spirit as "self-improvement" and "carrying things with virtue". As a master of traditional Chinese culture, he is diligent all his life, thinking about knowledge and benefiting the motherland's cultural and academic undertakings. He can be regarded as a model of a generation of scholars.

Among them, the motto of Tsinghua University is "constantly striving for self-improvement and carrying things with virtue". It comes from two sentences in the book of changes: one is "heaven is healthy, and a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement" (Qian Gua); the other is "the terrain is smooth, and a gentleman is carrying things with virtue" (Kun Gua). During the period of the Republic of China, when Liang Qichao was teaching in Tsinghua University, he gave a speech on gentleman to the students of Tsinghua University at that time. In his speech, he hoped that the students of Tsinghua University could inherit the traditional Chinese virtues, and cited the words of "self-improvement" and "Virtue carrying material" in the book of changes to encourage the students of Tsinghua University. Since then, Tsinghua people have put the eight words "self-improvement, virtue" into the rules of Tsinghua University, and then gradually evolved into the motto of Tsinghua University.

The two sentences of "heaven is healthy, gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement" and "the terrain is Kun, gentleman is carrying things with virtue" mean: the movement of Heaven (that is, nature) is strong and vigorous, correspondingly, gentleman should be like heaven, strive for self-improvement, be resolute and resolute, be angry and strive for strength, and never stop; the momentum of the earth is thick and smooth, gentleman should increase virtue and contain all things. If you are a gentleman, you should measure things like the earth, and nothing cannot be carried. (over the past two thousand years, there have been many who know, but few who can understand. However, there are still different explanations in the academic circles, and there seems to be no accepted correct explanation. )
