「致知在格物。物格而后知至。」 ——《大学》
— The Great Learning
📖 释义 Annotation
「格物致知」出自《大学》八条目之首，是儒家认识论的起点。「格」是穷究，「物」是事物——通过深入研究事物的原理来获得真知。朱熹解释为「穷究事物之理」，王阳明解释为「正念头」——两种解释代表了理学和心学的不同路径。
'Investigate things to extend knowledge' opens the Eight Steps of the Great Learning. Through deep investigation of principles, one gains true knowledge. Zhu Xi interpreted this as 'investigating principles'; Wang Yangming as 'rectifying thoughts' — two Neo-Confucian paths.
💡 当代启示 Modern Application
不要轻信任何未经验证的说法。「格物致知」的精神是：通过亲自调查和实践来获得真知。
Do not believe anything unverified. 'Investigate things to extend knowledge' means gaining truth through personal investigation and practice.
