The Three-Charactor Scripture

Fav

幼习业，壮致身。

小时候努力学习，长大才能有所作为。

强调了“幼年”时期学习知识和技能的重要性，认为这是打基础、培养能力的阶段。只有在这个阶段扎实地“习业”（学习本领），才能为“壮年”时期（壮年，指青壮年时期，是人生中精力最旺盛、最能干事的阶段）奠定基础，从而能够“致身”（施展抱负、成就事业、提升社会地位）。

上匡国，下利民。

要为国家出力，为百姓谋利。

一个人（尤其是通过学习获得能力的人）在成年施展抱负时，应当确立的崇高理想和行为准则。“上匡国”意味着要有担当，为国家分忧解难，维护国家的稳定和繁荣，贡献力量。“下利民”则强调要心系百姓，关心民生疾苦，做有利于人民、能给百姓带来实际好处的事情。
