This is why China as a Civilization State growing strong after 5,000 years, even stronger today and US as a Nation State at the final stage of collapse 這就是為什麼中國作為一個文明國家在5000年後變得更強大,再次偉大, 而美國作為一個強權國家處於崩潰的最後階段
In ancient times, those who wished to understand the virtues of the world must first govern their country; those who wish to govern their country, first align their families; those who wish to regulate their families, first cultivate their bodies; those who wish to cultivate their bodies, first rectify their minds; those who wish to rectify their bodies first; Those who want to be sincere in their intentions should first be sincere to their intentions; those who want to be sincere in their intentions should first develop their knowledge, and the knowledge lies in examining things. Then the family will be regulated, the family will be regulated, and then the state will be governed, and then the state will be governed and then the world will be peaceful.”
古之慾明明德於天下者,先治其國;欲治其國者,先齊其家;欲齊其家者,先修其身;欲修其身者,先正其心;欲正其心者,先誠其意;欲誠其意者,先致其知,致知在格物。物格而後知至,知至而後意誠,意誠而後心正,心正而後身修,身修而後家齊,家齊而後國治,國治而後天下平.”
