The realm of literature and art: [

Wang Guowei, a great Confucian in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, wrote in his works

Philosopher Feng Youlan once said in the book "Xin Yuan Man" that the difference between man and other animals is that when man does something, he understands what he is doing and does it consciously.It is this awareness that makes what he is doing meaningful to him.

All kinds of things he does have various meanings, and all kinds of meanings are combined into a whole to constitute his realm of life.Different people may do the same thing, but with different levels of awareness, what they do has different meanings to them.

Everyone has their own realm of life, which is not exactly the same as any other individual.Regardless of these individual differences, we can divide the various states of life into four grades.

Starting from the lowest, they are: the realm of nature, the realm of utilitarianism, the realm of morality, and the realm of heaven and earth.

When a person does things, he may just follow his instinct or the customs of his society.Like a child and a savage, he does what he does and yet understands it, or does not understand it very much.Thus, what he does has little or no meaning to him.His realm of life is what I call the realm of nature.

A man may be conscious of himself and do various things for himself.That doesn't mean he's necessarily an immoral person.He can do things whose consequences are beneficial to others and whose motives are self-interested.So all the things he does have utilitarian meanings to him.His realm of life is what I call the realm of utilitarianism.

Others may understand the existence of society, and he is a member of society.This society is a whole, and he is a part of this whole.With this understanding, he does all kinds of things for the benefit of the society, or as Confucianism says, he does things for the sake of "righteousness and no profit".He is truly a moral person, and all he does are moral actions that conform to strict moral meanings.Everything he does has moral significance.So his realm of life is what I call the moral realm.

Finally, a person may realize that beyond the whole of society, there is a greater whole, the universe.He is not only a member of society, but also a member of the universe.He is a citizen of the social organization and at the same time, what Mencius called a "citizen of heaven".With this awareness, he does all kinds of things for the benefit of the universe.He understands the meaning of what he is doing and feels that he is doing what he is doing.This understanding constitutes the highest realm of life for him, which is what I call the realm of heaven and earth.

When it comes to realm in life, it refers to the highest realm of love, the highest realm of service, the new realm of fashion, the new realm of lazy people, and the highest realm of car skills. We are all unconsciously pursuing a realm.

What is the boundary?Only in you and me.
