The Analects of Confucius, as a Confucian classic, is profound and all-encompassing. Its thoughts mainly include three independent and closely dependent categories: ethics-benevolence, social politics-propriety, and cognitive methodology-the golden mean. Benevolence, first of all, is the true state in people's hearts. The final compromise must be kindness, and this true and kind state is "benevolence".
Confucius established the category of benevolence, and then expounded that courtesy is a reasonable social relationship and a norm to treat people and things, and then expounded the methodological principle of the "golden mean" system.
