From Zhuge Liang's Ten Commandments
Original text:
A gentleman's journey is quiet to cultivate one's morality, and frugal to cultivate one's morality. Not cold, not awake, not quiet, not far away. You must be quiet before you can study. If you don't learn, you can't be versatile, and if you don't want to learn, you can't succeed. Slow can't have vitality, and risk can't have sex. Time goes by, meaning goes by, and then becomes withered, not meeting the world, and staying in a poor house sadly. What will happen?
Appreciate:
Most of the ancient family instructions condensed the author's life experience, life experience and academic thoughts, from which not only his descendants benefited a lot, but also today's readers can benefit a lot. Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms, was praised as "the embodiment of wisdom" by later generations. His Ten Commandments is also a family instruction full of wisdom and a masterpiece of ancient family instruction.
This paper expounds the profound truth of self-cultivation and scholarship, which is thought-provoking to read. It can also be seen as Zhuge Liang's summary of his life, and later became a famous piece of self-cultivation and determination to get married.
