Sample Sentences

很有道理，据我所知，修身有包括“内外兼修”，其中最根本的是“自我修养”，也就是——慎独。
hěnyǒu dàolǐ ，jùwǒsuǒzhī ，xiūshēn yǒu bāokuò “nèiwàijiānxiū ”，qízhōng zuì gēnběn de shì “zìwǒ xiūyǎng ”，yějiùshì ——shèndú 。
That makes a lot of sense. As far as I'm aware, cultivation includes both "inner and outer cultivation", the most basic of which is "self-cultivation" or -- preserving proper behavior in one's private life.
