From his youth to later life, a pioneer of modern new Confucianism, Liang Shu-Ming, almost never stopped his discourse on "self-awareness," which had become one of the important elements of his thought system and daily life. Liang's thought of "self-awareness" can be summarized in the following six points: 1. In terms of definition, self-awareness means conscience, independent knowledge and virtue. 2. In terms of its origin, self-awareness is the inner content of a human mind, which is inborn. 3. In terms of quality, self-awareness is the axis of mind, climax of spontaneity, and means of consciousness, with an upward direction. 4. In terms of hidden part, it is attributed to the fact that a human mind may slack off at a moment and easily falls into bad habits. 5. In terms of long-term cultivation, it focuses on keeping silent, making wishes, never cheating oneself, setting standards for oneself, getting close to teachers and learning from friends. 6. In terms of value, one believes that self-awareness is the most precious thing. These viewpoints of Liang are quite innovative, practical and deep in thought, which are worth for reference.
