摘要

The thought of learning from things ("Ge Wu Zhi Zhi") is a way for intellectuals to cultivate their body and mind, to realize their life integrity and to harvest their successful life, which has three meanings: to explore the things, to obtain knowledge; to correct knowledge, to obtain conscience; to sense everything and to obtain wisdom. These three meanings just include the three aspects of whole person education: Inquiry education, Conscience education and Sensate education, because the real and complete education not only trains students to acquire various skills and acquire various knowledge, it is also necessary for students to be able to take care of themselves, as well as others and the world, to be able to repair personal links with others, and to have a leisurely and relaxed, clear and tranquil state of mind, in harmony with the world.
