王阳明《傳習錄》· 卷上·第9条 · Leadership · Cognition · Philosophy · Learning

愛問:「先生以『博文』為『約禮』功夫;深思之,未能得。略請開示。」 先生曰:「『禮』字即是『理』字。『理』之發見可見者,謂之『文』;『文』之隱微不可見者,謂之『理』;只是一物。『約禮』,只是要此心純是一個天理。要此心純是天理,須就『理』之發見處用功。如發見於事親時,就在事親上學存此天理;發見於事君時,就在事君上學存此天理;發見於處富貴、貧賤時,就在處富貴、貧賤上學存此天理;發見於處患難、夷狄時,就在處患難、夷狄上學存此天理。至於作止、語默,無處不然。隨他發見處,即就那上面學個存天理。這便是『博學之於文』,便是『約禮』的功夫。『博文』即是『惟精』,『約禮』即是『惟一』。」
