　　Talent philosophy:


　　As heaven maintains vigor through movements, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-perfection.
　　As earth's condition is receptive devotion, a gentleman should hold the outer world with a broad mind.
　　A gentleman's self-discipline should be like the unceasing movement of heaven, without the flaw of working for one day and freezing for ten; scholars setting their aspirations especially need perseverance and strength, to act courageously for justice and not shrink from hardship and danger.
　　A gentleman's dealings with others should be broad-minded and generous, like the vastness of the earth that bears all things. Be strict with oneself and lenient with others. With a high reputation and gracious bearing, one appears impressive yet is warm on approach.
