【Translation】

Therefore, the principle of sincerity will never stop; if it never stops, it will be passed on for a long time, if it is passed on for a long time, it will be effective, and if it is effective, it will be long and endless.Broad and profound, it can support all things in the world; it is sublime and shrewd, it can cover all things in the world; it is long and infinite, it can grow all things in the world.Broad and deep match the earth, sublime and shrewd match the sky, long and endless are as boundless as the sky and the earth.In this way, if you don't express yourself, you will be obvious; if you don't act, you will be impressed; if you don't do anything, you will be successful.

The principle of heaven and earth can be summed up in one sentence: it itself is one and the same, and it transforms and produces all kinds of things, and it is difficult to fathom the mystery.The truth of heaven and earth lies in broadness, depth, sublime, shrewdness, long distance, and long-term.Let’s talk about the sky now, in its small size it is but a small piece of light, but in its entirety it is really infinite, the sun and the moon revolve in the sky, the stars hang in the sky, and everything on the earth is covered by it.Now let’s take the land as an example. When it is small, it is nothing more than a handful of soil. When it is large, it is broad and deep. It carries Huashan Mountain without feeling heavy. It contains rivers, seas, rivers and lakes without water leakage. superior.Now let’s talk about the mountain. In terms of small size, it is nothing but the accumulation of small stones. In terms of size, it is tall and broad as a whole. Plants, trees and flowers grow on the mountain, birds and animals live in the mountain, and rich treasures are developed from it.Now let’s talk about water. In terms of its small size, it is nothing more than a small spoonful of water gathered together. In terms of its breadth, it is really vast and unfathomable. There are turtles, dragons, fish and turtles living in it, and all kinds of goods. Breed out of water.

The "Book of Songs" says: "Only the theorem of heaven is so far-reaching that its operation never stops." This probably means the reason why heaven is heaven. "Woohoo, isn't this bright! How grand and pure the virtues of King Wen of Zhou are!" This probably means that the reason why King Wen of Zhou was honored with the posthumous title of "Wen" is because of his grand and pure virtues.
