Abstract
The Great Learning (Da Xue 大學), originally the forty-second chapter of the Book of Rites in Han, was extracted by the Cheng brothers, Cheng Hao (程灝 1032–1085) and Cheng Yi (程頤 1033–1107) of the Song dynasty. Then follow the other Song scholar, Zhu Xi (朱熹 1130–1200), who later groups The Doctrine of the Mean, another chapter of the Book of Rites, with The Analects and The Book of Mencius to form the so-called Four Books. Zhu wrote Commentaries for the books, and they form the basis for civil service examinations in China from 1313 to 1905. People have claimed that The Great Learning sums up the Confucian educational, moral, and political programs.
