What are ambition, virtue, benevolence and art?

"It depends on Tao, virtue, benevolence and art", that is, aiming at Tao, basing on virtue, virtue in benevolence, and moving in six arts (ceremony, music, shooting, imperial, book and number). Only in this way can we be a real person. ?

This sentence comes from The Analects of Confucius.

It mainly shows that morality, benevolence and art are the key points of self-cultivation in doing things. Without lofty aspirations, it is inevitable to be tacky. Without a considerable foundation of moral behavior, life will be rootless, eventually it will not mature, there will be no inner love cultivation, and there will be no place to stay psychologically. Life will be boring if you don't swim in art and have profound knowledge, which will realize the realm of ambition, morality, benevolence and entertainment advocated by the sages and reach the ideal realm of life.
