Zhu Xi believes that ambition is the aspiration of the heart and is crucial to human growth. Therefore, he asked scholars to first set great aspirations. He said: "In order to learn, you must first be determined. If the ambition is established, the learning can be the first to focus on. If you are undecided, it will not help. " order: The order in which they are arranged. This means that you must first set your ambition to study. As long as the ambition is set, then the learning can be worked on in a certain order. If you don't have a strong aspiration, it will be difficult to succeed in the end.

He said: "'From ancient heroes come young people. For the sake of the Chinese nation today and tomorrow, we must educate and guide the vast number of children to set up lofty aspirations, cultivate beautiful hearts, and let children grow up better. ”
