The Way refers to the principles. Learning is, of course, for the purpose of mastering these principles. There is a Way for heaven, a Way for earth, a Way for society, and a Way for humanity. Confucius requires his students to grasp the principles of heaven, earth, society, and humanity.</p><p class="ql-block">Confucius believes that one should regard the pursuit of principles as a lifelong endeavor. He stated, "To hear the Way in the morning and die in the evening is acceptable," emphasizing that "a person can promote the Way, not the Way promoting the person."</p><p class="ql-block">"Rely on Virtue." Virtue means to walk the right path with heart and vision. Virtue also refers to moral character and cultivation. Confucius requires his students to walk the right path, stating, "Virtue is not solitary; it must have neighbors." He praised Nan Gongshi by saying, "What a gentleman! He values virtue!"</p><p class="ql-block">"Depend on Benevolence." Benevolence is the core of Confucian thought. Confucius believes that everything should start from love for others. The benevolent person loves others, establishes others, and helps others succeed. Confucius emphasizes that one should not be selfish and must consider others. He stressed that practicing benevolence should begin with those around us. He said, "To take examples from those close by can be called the way of benevolence."</p><p class="ql-block">"Engage in the Arts." The Arts refer to the Six Arts. There are greater and lesser Six Arts; here, it refers to the lesser Six Arts. The lesser Six Arts are rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. These are the subjects set by Confucius for teaching, and they are the six skills that educated individuals must learn. Without knowledge of rites and music, one cannot function in society; without skills in archery and charioteering, one cannot become a gentleman; without knowledge of calligraphy and mathematics, one cannot communicate or calculate.</p>
