Extended data:

Ceng Zi said: I visit myself three times a day-am I deceiving others? The "province" here mainly refers to "introspection", introspection of one's words and deeds, introspection of one's thoughts and values. It can be said that "I save three times a day" is the basic effort of Confucian scholars to learn and be good at being an official, and it is also the specific connotation of "cultivating self-cultivation and being calm" advocated by Confucianism.

People must learn to reflect, so as to make progress. Fan Zhongyan, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, often made solemn protests at the expense of his life against unreasonable political affairs at that time, which influenced many intellectuals at that time and formed an atmosphere of advocating high morals and integrity.

Fan Zhongyan himself once said that before going to bed every day, you should calculate whether what you did that day is worthy of the salary you earned that day. If he does this, he can sleep peacefully. If he is sorry for the salary he received, he will not sleep well all night and make up the missing part the next day to feel at ease. He is a model of self-reflection, and later generations respect him as a public.
