慎思明辨

　　謹慎周密地思考，清晰明確地分辨。古人認為，人的成長包括五個階段：博學、審問、慎思、明辨、篤行。這五個階段大致可約為學習、思考、實踐三個方面?！吧魉济鞅妗本褪撬伎?，是由學習到實踐的中間階段。學習與思考、學習與實踐是相輔相成的；而思考則是學習的深入和提升，是實踐的前導，是從學習到實踐轉化的關鍵所在。

Careful Reflection and Clear Discrimination

　　It was thought in ancient China that a person matured through five stages: broad study, close examination, careful reflection, clear discrimination, and earnest practice . These stages can be roughly divided into three areas: learning, reflection, and practice. "Careful reflection and clear discrimination" describes the stage of reflection between learning and practice. It can also be said that study and reflection on the one hand and study and practice on the other complement each other, while reflection is a deepening and heightening of learning, a prerequisite for practice, and a key link between learning and practice.
