淡泊明志，宁静致远
Indifference to Fame and Fortune Characterizes a High Aim in Life, and Leading a Quiet Life Helps One Accomplish Something Lasting

有容乃大、无欲则刚，淡泊明志、宁静致远。大凡伟大的作家艺术家，都有一个渐进、渐悟、渐成的过程。文艺工作者要志存高远，就要有“望尽天涯路”的追求，耐得住“昨夜西风凋碧树”的清冷和“独上高楼”的寂寞，即便是“衣带渐宽”也“终不悔”，即便是“人憔悴”也心甘情愿，最后达到“众里寻他千百度。蓦然回首，那人却在，灯火阑珊处”的领悟。
Inclusiveness gives rise to greatness, and freedom from selfishness helps one stand upright. Indifference to fame and fortune characterizes a high aim in life, and leading a quiet life helps one reach afar. It will be a long process for a great writer or artist to make progress, comprehend and become accomplished. To reach afar, writers and artists should “see as far as they can see,” defy desolation that may arise when “the west wind withers trees,” withstand loneliness “when reaching the top of a high-rise building alone,” “never regret” even if “their clothes are becoming loose,” love their career even if it makes them “haggard” before they eventually realize what they want as shown in these lines: In the crowds for her I’d searched a thousand times Perchance I turned And there she was Where lights were few and dim.

EXPLANATION
淡泊名利才能明确自己的志向，心神宁静才能达到远大的目标。“淡泊”，恬淡寡欲，不重名利；“宁静”，安宁恬静，不为外物所动；“致远”，到达远处，即实现远大目标。这是古代中国人所追求的自我修养的一种境界，其核心是对待名利的态度。它希望人们不要贪图名利，为名利所累;要始终胸怀远大理想，专心一意地为实现远大理想而努力。
This saying, with the attitude to fame and fortune at its core, refers to a way in which people in ancient China sought to practice self-cultivation. People should not be greedy for fame and fortune and be burdened by such greed. Instead they ought to cherish noble ideals and work heart and soul to achieve them.

术语释义
EXPLANATION
推重国家思想与法度的统一。“大一统”之说由西汉董仲舒（前179—前104）提出，用以概括《春秋》一书的思想主旨。董仲舒认为，国家需要统一法令制度，而要实现法令制度的统一，还需要统一思想。思想的纷杂不一，会使得民众无所遵从。董仲舒选择儒家学说作为国家统一的思想。在董仲舒看来，推重法制乃至思想的统一，是一种恒常不变的法则。
This concept places importance on the unity of national ideology and law. It was put forward by Dong Zhongshu (179-104 BC) of the Western Han Dynasty as an underlying theme of The Spring and Autumn Annals. In his view, the state needs a uniform legal system, but to achieve such unity, different schools of thought must be unified first. Without a unified ideology, people will not know which one to follow. Dong believed that Confucianism should be the one and only governing ideology for a nation. In his opinion, the unity of law and ideology should be an enduring principle .
