what is a gentleman? In ancient times, he was a noble, an official and a person of status; A man of noble morality. What is a villain? The appellation of the ancient reactionary ruling class to the ruled class; People with low morals. Therefore, in modern times, we should all be moral people, not moral people, and be gentlemen and not villains. -the difference between a gentleman and a villain. Who is a gentleman? Who is a villain? Let's see what Confucius said. Confucius said, "A gentleman is fond of virtue, but a villain is fond of soil; The gentleman is pregnant with punishment, and the villain is pregnant with benefits. " The Analects of Confucius. Liren. That is to say: gentlemen care about morality, while villains covet fields; A gentleman cares about the criminal law, while a villain is greedy for money. Confucius said, "A gentleman means justice, while a villain means profit". The Analects of Confucius. Liren. That is to say: a gentleman knows the great righteousness, and a villain knows the self-interest. Confucius thus drew a clear line between a gentleman and a villain. It can be imagined that if the society is a gentleman, everyone pays attention to their own moral cultivation, everyone is ambitious, everyone is mindful of the overall situation, everyone acts according to law, is familiar with things, pays attention to benevolence and morality, and does not care about personal gain. Then, our family will be harmonious and happy, the neighborhood relationship will get along well, the society will be a civilized and harmonious society, and the country will be a highly civilized country. Of course it's impossible, it's just our common wish. However, as sons and daughters of China, we should strive to be good gentlemen, never be villains, and let society become a civilized society. However, in the real society, there are still villains who put personal interests first, struggle for power and profit, lack morality, corruption and compete with the people. We should strengthen publicity, education and governance and restraint mechanisms. Confucius said, "A gentleman seeks for himself, while a villain seeks for others." The Analects of Confucius, Wei Linggong. That is to say: a gentleman demands himself, while a villain demands others. Generally speaking, when a person is dealing with things or encountering problems and contradictions, a gentleman will first find the reasons from himself and think reversely, and then find the reasons from other aspects, make a comprehensive analysis and propose solutions to the problems. The villain, on the other hand, can shirk responsibility or benefit from it for many reasons. Confucius said, "A gentleman is proud but does not fight, and a group is not a party." "A gentleman doesn't cite people with words, and he doesn't waste words with people." The Analects of Confucius and Wei Linggong. That is to say, a gentleman is reserved and does not argue, but gregarious and does not form a party. A gentleman doesn't promote someone just because he says a good word or two, and he doesn't listen to someone's good words because of his bad moral character. Confucius said, "A gentleman is Thai but not arrogant, and a villain is arrogant but not Thai." The Analects of Confucius Zi Lu. That is to say: a gentleman is peaceful but not arrogant, and a villain is arrogant and uneven. One is modest and prudent, good at working with others, and the other is arrogant and arrogant. And so on, there is a clear difference between a gentleman and a villain. Confucius said, "An upright man is open and poised while a petty man is anxious and worried.". The Analects of Confucius. That is to say: a gentleman is flat and broad-minded, and a villain is often sad. It can be said that at any time and on any occasion, even in the face of difficulties and setbacks or severe and sinister circumstances, a gentleman will be open-minded, never shrink and stagnate, and be full of courage and temperament that a gentleman should have. But the villain thinks about the past and thinks about the future, suffers from loss, is depressed, and can't finish the task. A gentleman has a good grasp of the scale of doing things. Confucius said, "Gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are at odds." "The Analects of Confucius Zi Lu" means: a gentleman emphasizes coordination rather than blindly agreeing, while a villain blindly agrees without coordination. There are also significant differences between gentlemen and villains in terms of professionalism and responsibility at work. Confucius said: "it is easy for a gentleman to say;" If you don't say it, don't say it; And it makes people also, the device. The villain is difficult and easy to say; Although it is not in the way, it is also said; And it makes people also, seeking preparation. " The Analects of Confucius Zi Lu. That is to say, it is easy for a gentleman to do things, but it is difficult to please him. He won't like it if he tries to please him in an improper way. When he uses people, he is hired by quantity. It is difficult for a villain to do things, but it is easy to please him. If you please him in an improper way, he will like it. As for the use of people, he is perfect and blameless. Confucius' simple words, in order to please the gentleman, must be with good thoughts, style, learning spirit, professionalism and good performance, so as to please him. In the promotion and use, he can only choose people. However, it is more difficult to deal with the villain. The difficulty lies in his low personal quality and his inability to do the job. Such people should strengthen their study and enrich their knowledge. Strengthen self-cultivation and ability training to meet the needs of work. A gentleman stresses benevolence and righteousness, and controls his words and deeds with benevolence and morality. The villain, on the other hand, does not talk about benevolence and morality, but is only mercenary. Let's see what Confucius said. Confucius said, "When a gentleman reaches the top, a villain gives orders." The Analects of Confucius. Xian Wen. That is to say: the gentleman is upward, in order to achieve righteousness; The villain goes down and pursues money. Confucius said, "A gentleman is ashamed of his words but not his deeds." The Analects of Confucius. Xian Wen. That is to say, it is a shame for a gentleman to talk too much and do too little. He reminded people, especially leading cadres, to talk less and do more in their work, to tell the truth, to do practical things and to create benefits for the masses. -what is a gentleman. A gentleman had a position as an official in ancient times. Modern society can be said that intellectuals, cadres, especially leading cadres are all in the scope of gentlemen. How should you ask yourself as a gentleman? Let's see what Confucius said. Zi Lu, a student of Confucius, asked Confucius how to be a gentleman. Zi Lu asked the gentleman. Confucius said, "Cultivate yourself and respect yourself." Say, "Is that all?" He said, "Cultivate yourself to help others." Say, "Is that all?" He said, "cultivate yourself to protect the people. Cultivate yourself to protect the people, and let them be ill? " The Analects of Confucius. Xian Wen. That is to say: Zilu asked how to be a gentleman. Confucius said: strengthen your self-cultivation and do things seriously. Zilu said: Is this all right? Confucius said: strengthen your self-cultivation and make people happy. Zilu said: Is that enough? Confucius said: strengthen your self-cultivation and make the people happy. Yao Shun was probably worried that he could not strengthen his self-cultivation and make the people happy! Confucius' teachings give people a revelation. In common words, if you want to be a gentleman who doesn't seek fame, you must pay attention to your study, think carefully, integrate and learn something. We must strengthen our self-cultivation, establish a correct outlook on life, world outlook and values, treat life correctly, and learn how to be a man. Only in this way can we become a useful person and make ordinary people get benefits, happiness and happiness from you. To do this, to some extent, you can say that you are not a person who wastes your life. Confucius said: "a gentleman's righteousness is quality, courtesy is action, sun is action, and faith is success." Gentleman! " The Analects of Confucius and Wei Linggong. That is to say, "a gentleman is based on benevolence and righteousness, implements him with etiquette, expresses him with humility and completes him with honesty." This is a gentleman! This passage of Confucius puts benevolence in the first place, which shows the importance of benevolence. We might as well quote Mencius' explanation of "benevolence and righteousness". "Benevolence" is also human, righteous and human. " That is, "Benevolence is the soul of man, and righteousness is the right path of man." "Mencius. Gao Zi Zhang Sentence". I hope all gentlemen (intellectuals and cadres) will talk about benevolence and righteousness, be parents and servants of the people seriously, promote their work with benevolence and morality, and take the benefit of the people as their fundamental purpose. -the way to test the gentleman and the villain. If you want to know whether a person you don't know is a gentleman or a villain, there are many ways to assess state workers according to modern society. Now let's see what Confucius said. Confucius said, "A gentleman can't learn a little and suffer greatly, while a villain can't suffer greatly and learn a little." The Analects of Confucius and Wei Linggong. Confucius said: a gentleman can't test him with trivial matters, but he can be entrusted with important tasks, while a villain can't entrust him with important tasks, but he can be tested with trivial matters. In order to make good use of this method of Confucius' guidance and test whether the assessment results are true or not, we can use multiple important tasks and multiple tests, and the length of the test depends on the situation. Can be said to be an effective method. -Confucius praised Zi Chan for having four codes of conduct. Zi said Zi Chan: "There are four ways for a gentleman: he is respectful in his own way, respectful in his affairs, beneficial in raising the people, and righteous in the people." The Analects of Confucius and Gongye Chang. Confucius praised Zi Chan's theory: there are four aspects that conform to the code of conduct of a gentleman: his own words and deeds are courteous, he is careful in serving the monarch, he is willing to give kindness to the people, and he is reasonable in serving them. These four codes of conduct may be used as a reference for assessing gentlemen (cadres and intellectuals). -A gentleman has nine points to think of. Confucius said: "A gentleman has Jiu Si: he thinks clearly, listens attentively, looks gentle, looks respectful, speaks loyally, respects things, doubts and questions, resents difficulties, and sees virtue and righteousness." The Analects of Confucius and Ji Shi. That is to say: a gentleman has nine points to think about: look, think about whether you have seen it clearly; Listen, think about whether you understand; Look, think about whether it is peaceful; Appearance should think about whether it is respectful; Words should be thought about whether they are faithful; When you do things, you should think about whether you are cautious; When in doubt, think about whether to ask others; Anger, think about whether there are future troubles; When you meet money, you should think about whether you should take it. We should think of these nine points taught by Confucius, which are not only applicable to the ancients, but also worth learning from everyone today, especially leading cadres. -A gentleman has literary talent and simple demeanor. Gentlemen (intellectuals, cadres) can't have a false reputation. In addition to having good moral quality, working ability and political achievements, we should learn from Confucius' teachings. Confucius said, "Quality is better than literature, and literature is better than history. Gentle, then a gentleman. " The Analects of Confucius Yong Ye. That is to say: simplicity is more rude than literary talent, and literary talent is more flashy than simplicity. The combination of literary talent and simplicity is appropriate, and this is the gentleman's demeanor. People are too simple and natural to appear lacking in quality, rude, lacking in brains and being too reckless. However, people who are full of culture will not be able to do it either, so they will appear gentle, and even others will regard you as a bookworm, incapable of dealing with others, and a waste. So, what kind of talent is a qualified gentleman? Let's see how Zi Gong, a student of Confucius, answered Zi Zicheng. Spine Zi Cheng said, "It's just a gentleman's quality. Why is it written?" Zi Gong said, "I'm sorry to say that the master is a gentleman. I can't talk to you. The quality of the text is still good, and the quality is still good. Kuo of tiger and leopard is like kuo of dog and sheep. " The Analects of Confucius and Yan Yuan. Spine Zicheng said: As long as a gentleman is simple in nature, what literary talent is needed? Zi Gong said: What a pity! Mr. Wang's statement is wrong. A word spoken is a warning. Literary talent is inseparable from essence, and essence is also inseparable from literary talent. If there is no literary talent, isn't it no different from the skin of dogs and sheep? Zi Gong's answer shows that people's quality should be simple and literary, and they should strengthen their self-cultivation, so that they can be regarded as a real gentleman, a gentleman who is respected by others, and more importantly, a useful person in society. -Be a person who is good at unity. People don't live in a vacuum. They are surrounded by parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, friends and colleagues. It is inevitable that there will be differences of opinion or interests at ordinary times, which requires them to do a good job of "forbearance". We should have a broad mind, do not cover up the dark side, and correctly treat and handle contradictions and problems. Especially now, to create a harmonious society in * * *, we must start from creating a harmonious family, a harmonious neighborhood, a harmonious community, a harmonious institution, a group, a school, a company and other people and environments, and form a good atmosphere. Educate those who are not reasonable around us and build a harmonious society. Confucius said, "A gentleman's week is not comparable, but a villain's week is not." The Analects of Confucius. Governing. That is to say, gentlemen can unite people generally without collusion, while villains collude with each other but cannot unite people generally. Confucius said, "A gentleman has nothing to contend with. Will also shoot! If you let it go up, you can drink it down, and it is also a gentleman. " The Analects of Confucius. Eight Essays. Confucius said: A gentleman has nothing to contend with. If there must be a struggle, it is the competition arrow. During the competition, bow to each other and then go to court. After the game, walk down the hall, and the loser drinks the fine wine. That kind of competition also belongs to the competition between gentlemen. In fact, what Confucius said in these two paragraphs is Confucius' request to a gentleman, that he should be able to unite people generally and not compete with others for power and profit and make unprincipled disputes. Therefore, everyone, especially cadres, should strive to be good at unity and contribute to the construction of a harmonious society, no matter whether the environment is superior or inferior and how complicated the problems are.
