Confucius read the "Book of Changes" and observed the hexagrams of Qian and saw the hexagrams of six yang lines below the stem and above the stem. The stem represents the celestial body, the way of heaven, represents Yang, and represents all positive things. It also represents men, represents fathers, etc. The nature of stem is "healthy". The eight pure hexagrams overlap and the meaning is strengthened. When the stem is down and the stem is up, it means "healthy and strong, there is a sky outside the sky". When Confucius observed the hexagrams, he also observed and thought about the celestial phenomena. The movement of the celestial bodies was healthy and healthy. He was neither lazy nor lazy. There was not a minute or a second of sluggishness. The four seasons were in order. The sage thought that an accomplished gentleman should imitate the healthy and healthy natural phenomena of the heavenly bodies and heavenly ways, never slack off, never stop, never be lazy, be diligent in his career and political affairs, and make contributions to human society. Therefore, Confucius's Xiangci said: "The movement of heaven is vigorous, and a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement."
A single hexagram with three yang lines is the "Qian" hexagram, and the overlapping six-line hexagram is called the Qian hexagram. The lower stem and the upper stem symbolize the healthy and healthy way of heaven. And healthy.
When I recited the Qian hexagram scriptures countless times, I thought that Confucius was indeed the most holy teacher, educator and thinker of Dacheng. The four words "continuous self-improvement" are like pearls and jade, and they are worth a thousand pieces of gold. For thousands of years, who can change a word? What does it mean to strive for self-improvement? A worthy gentleman consciously studies diligently, constantly updates his knowledge, improves his ability to survive and compete, improves his ability to handle national political affairs, constantly improves his ability to educate the people, popularizes culture and education, and improves the quality of the people. To use a popular modern saying, keep recharging yourself, because there is a long way to go.
Why is it not "continuous hard work", "continuous struggle" and "continuous struggle"?
Liang Qichao "Continuous self-improvement and moral integrity." as the motto of Tsinghua University has profound meaning. In addition to the cultural connotation of these eight characters representing the spirit of the Chinese nation and shaping the soul and national character of the Chinese nation, Liang Qichao probably wanted to use the essence of the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun as the oldest and greatest classic of the Chinese nation, which is unique in the world. "Continue to strive for self-improvement and be virtuous" to suppress the context of China's highest academic institution.
The simple Kun hexagram overlaps into the six-line hexagram, which is called the Kun hexagram. The terrain is thicker, the Kun virtue is smooth and cautious, and the thick virtue is enough to carry all things.
