The Confucians had many descriptions of realms. The following were the three more famous realms: The first was that the wise were not confused, the benevolent were not worried, and the brave were not afraid. The " knowledge " in " the wise are not confused " included the cognitive mind and the objective knowledge obtained from it. People rely on " learning " and " thinking " to obtain knowledge. In a broad sense, this was an activity in the intellectual category." The benevolent are not worried " because the benevolent pay more attention to morality and dignity, look down on gains and losses, treat others with benevolence and open-mindedness;" the brave are not afraid " not because they are unaware of difficulties and dangers, but because they are willing to take responsibility and face difficulties with the heart of a brave man. To achieve all three was the highest realm of a gentleman. The second was the general state centered on "contentment", the gradual state of the world, and the highest state of stopping at perfection. The general realm pursues inner satisfaction and happiness to realize self-worth; the gradual realm reflects the moral spirit of giving alms to the masses and self-cultivation, so that the relationship between individuals and groups is harmonious; the highest realm is the return of nature and the sublimation of self-life. The third was the three realms of becoming a gentleman, namely, self-improvement, rich content, and benefiting the world. The first realm of a gentleman was to strive for self-improvement and not be defeated in the face of obstacles. The second realm was to enrich one's own content. The third realm was to benefit the world. While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!
Confucian philosophy had many views on the division of realms. Among them, the more famous ones were the three realms of " the wise are not confused, the benevolent are not worried, and the brave are not afraid." In terms of the realm of "knowledge", in a broad sense,"knowledge" included the intellectual subject and the objective knowledge obtained from it, which had the characteristics of humanism. It was necessary to have objective experience and historical knowledge to connect things and improve one's spiritual realm. Human knowledge could be obtained through learning and thinking, which could be classified as intellectual knowledge. In the realm of " benevolence,"" benevolence " was the cornerstone of Confucian morality and wisdom. Its concept was " love others as yourself ", and the essence of practice was " do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you ". This required people to think from another's perspective in interpersonal relationships and express their care and love for others. The realm of 'courage' was embodied in the fearless. This was a spiritual realm advocated by the Confucians. When a person reached the three realms of wisdom, benevolence, and courage, he could realize the personality of a gentleman. This was also the higher realm that a gentleman should reach. In addition, Mr. Feng Youlan proposed that the four realms of life in Confucian culture were natural realm, utility realm, moral realm, and heaven and earth realm. Among them, moral realm and heaven and earth realm could also be regarded as higher realms in Confucian philosophy. People in the moral realm pursued the overall interests of society, while the realm of heaven and earth was a realm that transcended the moral realm and integrated with the universe.

There were different divisions and understandings of the realm of Great Confucians in the scholarly faction. From Xunzi's point of view, a great scholar was the highest image of the ideal personality of the Confucians. Its standards were in the two aspects of "external king" and "internal saint." It had both strong political ability and a high moral realm. From the perspective of realm levels, according to the traditional division of life realms in China philosophy, from low to high, it was the natural realm, the utility realm, the moral realm, and the realm of heaven and earth. The Confucian realm was in the "moral realm" and the "realm of heaven and earth"(and there were still differences in realm between Confucians), while the true Confucians were in the realm of morality, heaven and earth, and the realm of aesthetic arts. The highest level that the Confucians pursued was to pursue the Dao. The higher realm was to know the destiny, listen to the ear, and do as one pleases without exceeding the rules. This reflected benevolence and the golden mean. In the realm that mortals could reach, there was a thought of sincerity, a trace of kindness, following the example of the wise, being good, reflecting on oneself, constantly improving, being honest and upright, valuing righteousness over profit, people-oriented, exchanging positions for mutual benefit, self-benefiting, self-reliance, accepting orders in the face of danger, taking righteousness into benevolence, and so on.

The three famous realms of Confucian philosophy were " the wise are not confused, the benevolent are not worried, and the brave are not afraid." The "knowledge" in "the wise man is not confused" includes the intellectual subject and the objective knowledge obtained from it. In Confucius 'view, objective experience and historical knowledge were necessary to connect things and improve the spiritual realm. Human knowledge was obtained through "learning" and "thinking", and "thinking" had different categories. What was directly related to the realm was "thinking" in the sense of existence." Benevolent people don't worry " embodied the core concept of " benevolence " of Confucianism." Benevolence " was the cornerstone of morality and wisdom. Simply put, it was " love others as yourself ". The essence of practice was " do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you "." Brave people are not afraid " reflected the realm of Confucian philosophy from the perspective of courage. In addition, from the perspective of personality cultivation, the three realms of Confucian philosophy could also be understood as self-cultivation, regulating the family, and governing the country. Self-cultivation was the foundation of personal cultivation. Only by perfecting oneself could one manage the family, then govern the country, and finally achieve the ultimate goal of pacifying the world. This process progressed step by step, showing the deep understanding of the relationship between individual growth and social responsibility of Confucianism.

The Confucian Righteousness Qi has three realms. We can draw the following conclusions: According to literature [1] and literature [2], the righteous qi of the scholarly faction had four realms: the mortal realm (scholar), the law realm (scholar), the true realm (great scholar), and the immortal realm (saint). Every realm had different cultivation methods and characteristics. However, according to the literature [18], the third level of Righteousness Qi was not clearly described. This might be an unknown field that only a few people could understand and answer. Therefore, the search results did not provide a clear answer to the three realms of the Confucian Righteousness Qi. In conclusion, the exact description of the three realms of the Confucian Righteousness Qi was still unclear.
The scholarly faction was divided into many realms: 1. ** Ambition to learn, stand, not be confused, know the destiny, listen well, do what you want without exceeding the rules **:'Ambition to learn' is the beginning, in the confused period, eager to find the truth of life, etc., most people stop at this point in their lives;'Stand' is to try to establish their own code of conduct as they grow older and more experienced;'Not be confused' is the threshold of quantitative change to qualitative change. Only when you have a clear mind about various theories and form your own simple principles can you be considered a beginner."Knowing the destiny" was to experience the power of destiny and understand that hard work was only a necessary condition for success, but not a sufficient condition."Being obedient" was to deepen the understanding of destiny and realize the truth of the occurrence and existence of all things. Selfishness basically disappeared and one focused on following the heart."Being free from the heart and not exceeding the rules" was to integrate one's whole body into the world and conform to the Great Way in every word and action. 2. The wise are not confused, the benevolent are not worried, and the brave are not afraid. The "knowledge" in "The wise are not confused" includes the intellectual subject and objective knowledge, which helps to improve the spiritual realm."The benevolent are not worried" because they pay attention to morality, look down on gains and losses, and treat people with benevolence and righteousness."The brave are not afraid" means they are willing to take responsibility and face difficulties with the heart of the brave. The wise know themselves, the benevolent love themselves, and the brave are self-reliant. These three achievements are the highest realm of a gentleman. 3. There were three realms of self-cultivation: the first was to cultivate oneself and make oneself serious and respectful; the second was to cultivate oneself and make the people around him happy; the third was to cultivate oneself and make the people of the world happy. These three realms were similar to the investigation of things, attainment of knowledge, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world in the Great Learning. The first was to cultivate oneself (Internal Sage Kung Fu), and the last two were to regulate the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world (Kung Fu from Internal Sage to External King) on the basis of cultivating oneself. 4. ** The highest realm is no evil **.

The Confucians had divided the cultivation realms of scholars into many categories. The following conclusions: According to the descriptions in the [Da Feng Da Geng Ren], the realms of the Confucian system included the Ninth, Eighth, Seventh, and Sixth Grades. Level Nine was the enlightenment realm, which mainly emphasized the improvement of memory and learning ability. The Eighth Stage was the realm of self-cultivation, which focused on cultivating courage and persuasiveness. Seventh Pin was the realm of benevolence, emphasizing moral awareness and sticking to one's heart. The Sixth Stage was the realm of the Confucian Scholar. He had the ability to learn the ultimate techniques of other systems and put them into practice. In addition, the Analects of Confucius also mentioned the Confucians 'division of personality realms, including mediocre people, scholars, gentlemen, wise people, and saints. These five levels represented the different realms from mortals to saints. They were the pursuit of personality ideals in Chinese traditional culture. Other than that, there were also some search results that mentioned the division of cultivation realms in the scholarly faction, such as the unity of knowledge and action, boundless love, and so on. The division of realms emphasized the implementation of Confucian ethics and morality in practice, as well as the spirit of contributing to society and others. In summary, the Confucians had divided the cultivation realms of scholars into nine, eight, seven, six, mediocre, scholar, gentleman, sage, and so on. These divisions represented different cultivation realms and the pursuit of personal ideals.
The Confucians used the principles of 'investigating things, gaining knowledge, sincerity, correcting one's heart, cultivating one's moral character, regulating one's family, governing the country, and pacifying the world'. In terms of investigating things, Zhu Xi believed that investigating things was the truth of things, while Wang Yangming believed that investigating things should be investigating one's own heart. By observing one's heart at all times, one could be aware of the changes in one's thoughts and emotions at any time, and understand the source of one's thoughts, thus understanding human nature. If one could understand the reasons for one's emotional changes, such as the reasons for one's anger and happiness, one would be able to control one's emotions and deal with problems without being affected by emotions. One would be able to distinguish between good and evil thoughts, cultivate good thoughts, reject evil thoughts, treat problems objectively and fairly, respect others, and accept different opinions. After achieving the state of understanding, one would then have sincerity and a righteous heart. After that, one would cultivate one's self and constantly improve oneself. Then, one would have the opportunity to govern the family, rule the country, and pacify the world.

In the Confucian school of thought, the Heavenly Dao had an important position. In the Pre-Qin period, Confucius did not talk much about the Heavenly Dao, but he affirmed its existence. In the middle and late Warring States Period, Mencius answered what the Heavenly Dao was, and Xunzi further perfected the question of how to fully implement the Heavenly Dao in the human world. One of the core principles of Confucianism was to interpret the Heavenly Dao. From the perspective of the Dao of Yin and Yang, the Confucians used the Dao of Yin and Yang to study the constancy of all things in the universe. This constancy was the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao was eternal and unchanging. It was the foundation of all things and the noumenon of the universe. In the Confucian system, the Way of Heaven had many different names. It was called Heaven in terms of popularity, Emperor in terms of dominance, Principle in terms of laws, Nature in terms of bestowing human beings, and Heart in terms of being the master of life. What the Heart emitted was the will, the essence of the will was knowledge, and where the will existed was the object. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao was directly related to the politics, ethics, and order of the human path. The two constituted the category system of the whole Dao, which was the overall Chinese philosophy category system. In terms of politics, it gradually developed a systematic political mythology in ancient China, which had a profound impact on many aspects.

The mantra of the Confucians was 'The human heart is in danger, the Dao heart is weak. Only the essence and the only one are allowed to hold the tongue." As well as "investigating things, gaining knowledge, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country, pacifying the world" and so on. "The human heart is in danger, and the Dao heart is weak. Only the essence and the only one are allowed to hold the tongue." The meaning was that the human heart was unpredictable, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil. The inner nature of Tao was omnipresent and subtle. It was necessary to use the heart of Tao to regulate, restrain, and guide people's thoughts and actions, so that people could adhere to justice and peace, not change their ideals and goals in life, and stick to the middle. And in " Investigating Things, Attaining Knowledge, Sincerity, Righteousness, Cultivating One's Self, Regaining One's Family, Ruling One's Country, and Pacifying the World," Investigating Things was to deeply explore the essence and laws of things through personal experience. This was not only the exploration of external things, but also the examination and cultivation of the inner world. Attaining Knowledge was to deeply explore the essence and laws of things through the work of investigating things to obtain insights. Attaining Knowledge was the beginning of knowledge and the foundation of practice. Sincerity required that one's thoughts be honest and come from the heart. One must not be pretentious, pretentious, or self-deceiving. The following concepts were also different from the Confucian concepts of personal cultivation to governing the country.
