3、they will be kept from error.朱熹又祖述二程之说,将大学从礼记中分离出来,重加编排补正,撰写提要,详加注解,定名大学章句,使其最终独立成书。不但成书,而且位居“经”列,与论语、孟子、中庸并称为“四书”。,曾子其人论语之记载,子曰:“参乎!吾道一以贯之。”曾子曰:“唯。”子出。门人问曰:“何谓也?”曾子曰:“夫子之道,忠恕而已矣。”(论语.里仁)The Master said,“Shen,my doctrine is that of an all-pervading unity.”The disciple Zeng replied,“Yes.”The Master w
