 He keeps this principle firmly in his heart(拳拳服膺)

 

(Dai Sheng) was an important Confucian scholar in the Han Dynasty.

He collected many Confucian articles and compiled them into a book. This book is (Book of Rites).

 

There is an article in this book.

 

Confucius said to all the students.

Everyone thinks they are wise, but most people are often driven by their own emotions, and they fall into the trap of various desires.

Everyone thinks that they are wise, but most of them hope to be rational and restrained at all times in life, but these people often persist for less than a month.

 

Confucius continued to speak to all students.

You should learn from your classmates (Yan Hui).

 

He is determined to remain rational and restrained at all times in his life.

But he is not greedy, he will not set many norms for himself at once.

When he learns a good principle, he will keep this good principle in his heart and put it into practice.

 

 

This idiom is used to describe a person who clings to a principle and puts it in his heart.

 

Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.

You know many good principles, but how many have you implemented in your life? Are you sensible at all times and not affected by emotions?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
