The final installment in the best-selling 'Dasan's Last' series by author Jo Yoon-je.
Following the two books that Dasan read side by side at the end of his life, the most profound of the Confucian classics, 『Simgyeong』 (『Dasan's Last Study』), and the easiest 『Sohak』 (『Dasan's Last Habit』, 『Analects of Confucius Gogeumju』, which Dasan compiled during the most difficult time in his life, has been explained in an easy-to-understand manner to suit today's sensibilities.

Zhu Xi criticized Zengzi for reflecting on three things, saying:
“Reflecting on three things is not something an adult should do.
“In his later years, Zengzi was unable to remove even the slightest flaw in his studies of virtue.”
They say it was because there was a lack of steam, but Dasan counters by saying this.
"Even though King Tang reproached himself for the six evil practices, how could he have failed to eliminate all the dregs that were flaws? Even sages constantly reflect on themselves and introspect."
An adult is not someone who lives without flaws, but someone who is wary of himself and willing to admit his shortcomings.
Therefore, Dasan interpreted that Zengzi also reflected on himself every day with a cautious and fearful mind, and that it was by no means because of a flaw in his later years.

Fifty-two, five, two, three, four, five, six, six, seven, seventy, seventy, seventy, eighty, eighty, ninety ...
Dasan said this about the state of enlightenment he attained at the age of fifty.
“Knowing the mandate of heaven is the state of being well-versed in the virtues of heaven, and Yi Sun is at a level even higher than that, so how can one speak of it easily? … However, everyone only admires the sage, but they only look down on his achievements and cannot approach them.
Adults are inherently higher beings, so I give up, saying that I can never become one.
This is why there are no adults today.”
Respect for great people comes from the self-esteem that if they can achieve it, so can I.
And it starts with the courage to boldly challenge.
There is no way to rise higher without knowing how to elevate yourself.

The story of the child, the father, the mother, the family, the family, and the sorrow
The saying, "Meng Wu Baek Mun Hyo Ja-Wol" means "the abandonment of parents is the quality of life"
Dasan believed that the most important thing in filial piety was sincerity and devotion.
This can be clearly seen in the writings of the two sons who were taught.
“When serving your mother, you must pay attention to even the smallest details to attain the shortcut to filial piety.
There are many small articles about food in the “Internal Rules” section of the “Book of Rites.”
The ancient sages did not begin their teachings from a distant place.
When you greet them at dawn and take care of their beds in the evening, do not ask servants to do it for you. Instead, bring wood and light a fire yourself to keep them warm.
“It may be just a momentary smoke, but your mother’s joy will be like drinking a delicious wine.”
The first emotion that humans encounter when they are born is love.
Hyoran is the sincerity that seeks to touch that heart even a little.
---From "Hyo-ran's efforts to resemble the heart she received when she was first born"

Three people's actions, I am a good person, I am a good person, I am a good person, I am a good person, I am a good person.
Saminhaeng Pilyuasaeon Taekgi Seonja Ijongji Gibul Seonja Igaeji
Good and evil coexist in the human heart.
If we look at ourselves, we see that we go back and forth between good and evil several times a day.
In this way, what we, ordinary people who are sometimes good and sometimes evil, must do is to examine whether our hearts, not yours, are inclined toward good or evil.
If you look at it this way, the surroundings are full of things worth learning.
It is not a lie that studying is something you do throughout your life.
Such study begins right in our daily lives.
Everything we encounter and everything we meet in our daily lives are objects of learning.
The three of us always walk together.
One of those three is 'me'.
Just as I am dyed by those I am with, I am also dyed by those I am with.
Just as everyone in the world is my teacher, I too am a teacher to someone.
---From “Everything in daily life is my teacher”

If you want to get rich, if you want to do something, if you want to do something, if you don't want to do it, don't do it.

Dasan said this about wealth:
“When I looked closely at the ways of the world, I realized there was no need to move around in a hurry and be anxious.
It is the law of heaven that when silkworms hatch from their eggs, mulberry leaves sprout first, and when swallows emerge from their eggs, the fields are full of flies.
But why be so caught up in deep worry and excessive anxiety, running around frantically, afraid that you might miss the opportunities that everyone else is taking?
So don't say anything.
I'm already planning for next year, but who knows if I'll live until then?
“They caress their young children and plan for the future of their great-grandchildren, but how can they be thoughtless fools who will live through the future?”
---From "Money should be spent, not spent on money"

People who love to study, people who love people, people who know, people who know, people who know how to travel Seeing a child's summer report, reading a book about a young child, studying with a young child, reading a book, reading a book, reading a book about a child's summer, reading a book about a child's summer Under heaven, on the way to the next 不仁者遠尹 不仁者遠矣 不仁者遠矣
The person who wrote the book, the lover, the person who wrote the book ...
Dasan quoted the Huainanzi to directly refute their claims.
“In means loving people, and Ji means knowing people.
…therefore, there is nothing greater than loving people, and there is nothing greater than knowing people.
If these two things are not established, even if you have bright wisdom and nimble skills, and even if you put in all your diligence and effort, you will not be able to avoid trouble.”
Loving someone means beautifying my life.
Trying to understand someone and, furthermore, to get to know them is what preserves the dignity of my life.
A beautiful and dignified life, the power that makes it possible is the humanities, the study of humanity.
Humanities is ultimately an effort to love myself.
---From “To love someone is also to love yourself”

Instead of dying with honor, Guan Zhong lived a life as heavy as Mount Tai and made his country a wealthy and powerful nation.
The reason why Dasan never gave up even in the face of extreme hardship was because he had a calling he wanted to fulfill.
He never put down his brush under any circumstances in order to perfect his studies and pass them on to future generations.
Dasan said this in a letter to his disciple Jeong Su-chil.
“If we eat our fill, are warmly clothed, and live our lives without worry, and then on the day of death, our bones and souls rot together, and not a single box of words remains to be written, then life is as if it were nothing.
If such a life is called life, then that life is no different from that of a beast.”
Every death has weight.
But no death is heavier than living.
