The gentleman's journey is quiet and self-cultivation, frugal and self-cultivation, indifferent to ambition, peaceful and profound. If you study quietly, you must study. If you don't study, you won't learn widely. If you have no ambition, you can't succeed.

If you are slow, you can't be energetic. If you are dangerous, you can't control your 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?

I. Explanation:

The character of a gentleman is to improve self-cultivation from tranquility and cultivate morality from thrift. You can't be clear about your ambitions without being quiet, and you can't achieve your lofty goals without excluding external interference. Learning must be calm and single-minded, and talent comes from learning. Therefore, if you don't study, you won't grow up, and if you don't have ambition, you won't get results.

Indulging in laziness can't cheer you up, nor can impatience and adventure cultivate your temperament. Time flies, and the will passes with the years. In the end, most of them are out of touch with the world and are not used by society. They can only sit in the poor house sadly. How could they regret it at that time?

Second, appreciation:

The main purpose of "The Book of Commandments" is to persuade my son to study hard and be determined, and to cultivate self-cultivation should work hard from indifference and tranquility, and avoid laziness and impatience. Summarize the experience of being a man and doing research, focus on the word "quiet", and at the same time attribute the failure to the word "mania", which is in sharp contrast.

This book of commandments not only expounds the ways and methods of self-cultivation, but also points out the relationship between determination and learning. It not only explains the importance of tranquility and indifference, but also points out the harm of indulgence, neglect and extreme impatience. Zhuge Liang is not only strict with his son in general principles, but also shows subtle concern for his children in some specific matters.
