虛壹而靜
這是荀子提出的一種用以把握日用倫常之道的心靈狀態。荀子認為，需要通過心的作用才能知曉“道”。但人心時常處于被遮蔽的狀態，只有進入“虛壹而靜”的狀態才能發揮應有的作用。“虛”是不使已收藏在心中的知識妨礙將要接受的事物?！耙肌笔鞘雇瑫r兼得的知識類目分明，彼此無礙?！办o”是不以虛妄而混亂的認知妨礙正常的心靈活動。
Open-mindedness, Concentration, and Tranquility
This refers to a state of mind Xunzi proposed as a way to master the dao of general morality. He believed that one gets to know dao through the action of one's heart and mind. But since the human heart and mind are often closed, they can only function normally when one is open-minded, concentrated, and consequently tranquil. Xu, or open-mindedness, prevents prior knowledge from hindering the acquisition of new knowledge. Yi, or concentration, allows one to assimilate knowledge of different categories while keeping them from interfering with each other. Jing, or tranquility, is to keep the false and confusing knowledge from obstructing one's normal process of contemplation.
引例
人何以知道？曰：心。心何以知？曰：虛壹而靜。（《荀子·解蔽》）（人如何能夠知曉道？回答：用心。心如何能夠知曉？回答：做到“虛壹而靜”。）
How can people learn to know dao? The answer is to use one's heart and mind. How can the heart and mind know? The answer is to achieve open-mindedness, concentration, and tranquility. (Xunzi)
