  “本义指人所行之路，引申而有三重含义：其一，指不同领域的事物所遵循的法则，如日月星辰运行的规律称为天道，人事活动所遵循的规律称...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  Originally, it refers to the path that people walk on, and by extension, it has three meanings. First, it refers to the laws followed by things in different fields. For example, the law of the movement of the sun, moon, and stars is called the "Way of Heaven," and the law followed by human activities is called the "Way of Humanity." Second, it refers to the universal law followed by all things. Third, it refers to the origin or essence of things, which is beyond tangible specific things. It is the beginning of the generation of all things and the basis for the existence of all things and human behavior. Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism all talk about the "Way," but their connotations are very different. The "Way" of Confucianism takes benevolence, righteousness, rites, and music as its basic content, while the "Way" of Buddhism and Taoism emphasizes the meaning of "emptiness" and "nothingness."

  ““诚”是儒家思想的核心概念之一，其基本含义是真实无妄。儒家认为，“诚”是“天道”或“天理”的本质，是万物得以存在的根据。同时...” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  "Sincerity" is one of the core concepts in Confucianism, and its basic meaning is truthfulness and the absence of falsehood. Confucianism holds that "sincerity" is the essence of the "Way of Heaven" or the "Principle of Heaven," and it is the basis for the existence of all things. At the same time, "sincerity" is also the origin and foundation of morality. All moral behaviors must be based on inner truthfulness and the absence of falsehood; otherwise, they are false. The Doctrine of the Mean states that "without sincerity, there would be nothing." Sages take "sincerity" as their inherent nature, and their words and deeds naturally conform to the "Way of Heaven" and the "Principle of Heaven." Gentlemen, on the other hand, take "sincerity" as the goal of moral cultivation and the path to attaining the "Way of Heaven" and the "Principle of Heaven."

  “Three Strengths of a Good Historian” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  The "Three Strengths of a Good Historian" put forward by Liu Zhiji in the Tang Dynasty refers to the three necessary specializations for those who study or write history, namely historical talent, historical learning, and historical insight. "Historical talent" means the ability to write historical books; "historical learning" refers to abundant historical knowledge and materials; "historical insight" involves the ideological vision to analyze and judge history. Liu Zhiji held that those engaged in history study or writing must possess all these three abilities, with "historical insight" being the most important. The citation illustrates that "historical talent" requires these three aspects which are talent, learning, and insight.

  “shī yán zhì 诗言志” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  "Poetry Expresses Aspirations" means that poems convey the author's inner aspirations, thoughts and also incorporate emotional elements. First appearing in the Confucian classic The Book of History, it was regarded by Zhu Ziqing as the "manifesto" of Chinese poetry. With interpretations by poetry critics over the ages, its connotations have been continuously enriched and it has established the basic concept of Chinese literary criticism regarding literary characteristics. Citations illustrate that poems express inner aspirations and that poems originate from aspirations which are in the heart as such and turn into poems when expressed in words.

  “shèng 圣” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  "Sage / Sageness" refers to the highest level of human virtue. It also means the person who possesses such virtue, namely a "saint". Generally, "sage" is contrasted with "wisdom". "Wisdom" is about grasping the "way of humanity", while "sage" is about grasping the "way of heaven". As those with "sage" virtue can understand the "way of heaven", they can interact smoothly in daily life. Citations show that one who listens and understands the principles of virtuous men is a sage who knows the way of heaven, and Confucius is an example of a sage who could seize the opportunities of his time.

  “shēng yī wú tīng, wù yī wú wén 声一无听，物一无文” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  The statement "A Single Note Does Not Compose a Melodious Tune, Nor Does a Single Color Make a Beautiful Pattern" emphasizes that the beauty of literature and art lies in the unity and harmony of diversity. It later became an important principle in ancient Chinese literary and artistic theories and promoted the prosperity and development of literature and art. Citations illustrate that single elements like a single note, color, flavor or thing can't create beauty on their own, while combinations of multiple elements such as different colors for patterns, different sounds for music and different emotions for literary works are in line with the natural principle.

  “shénsī 神思” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  The term "Imaginative Contemplation" refers to a special mental state in literary and artistic creation. It enables the author, driven by intense emotions, to break the limits of time and space and enter a state of free imagination or inspiration. It was widely used in the literary and artistic theories of the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern dynasties, and Liu Xie of the Southern Dynasties specifically discussed it in The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons. It emphasizes that this is a unique psychological activity in literary and artistic creation, different from other cognitive activities. The citations show that this state allows the author's imagination and thoughts to transcend time and space and is the source of literary creation, and people's feelings and thoughts about the external world are formless and ever-changing.

  “shén 神” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  The term "Shen" has four different meanings. Firstly, it refers to deities with a personified sense and superhuman abilities, like the spirits of natural things and souls of the deceased becoming deities. Secondly, it means the human spirit and mind, and Daoism views it as crucial for life and emphasizes maintaining and refining it for longevity. Thirdly, it represents the subtle and unpredictable changes of all things under the interaction of yin and yang, often used with "hua" as "shenhua" (divine change). Fourthly, it indicates a marvelous and unfathomable realm in life. Citations from different works illustrate these meanings in different contexts.

  “shèjì 社稷” 全部笔记（1） 去书内

  Sheji refers to the God of the Earth and the God of the Five Grains that were sacrificed to by ancient Chinese emperors and vassals. "She" is the God of the Earth and "Ji" is the God of the Five Grains. They were the most important primitive objects of worship for the Han people who based their livelihood on farming. Ancient rulers sacrificed to them annually to pray for national peace and bountiful harvests, and thus "sheji" became a symbol of the nation and state power. The citation from "Debates of the White Tiger Hall" explains the reasons for setting up these gods and the way of worshipping them.
