《大學》原是《禮記》第四十二篇，作者曾子或孔門七十子後學所作

A quote from “Great Learning” by Confucius’ student Tsand Zhe and his followers (505-435BC).

 

Exploration leads to wisedom,

Wisdom leads to sincerity,

Sincerity leads to faithfulness,

Faithfulness leads to self-perfection,

Self-perfection leads to a unified family,

A unified family leads to a well reigned country,

A well reigned country leads to a peaceful World,

Which is the ultimate goal of Confucism.
