The basic composition of Confucius' thought is that ethical thoughts (moral ethics and political ethics) include filial piety, loyalty, forgiveness, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith.
First, filial piety. All virtues put filial piety first, and Confucius believed that filial piety was the foundation of benevolence. Filial piety is not only to support the elderly, but also to respect parents and elders, which is an attitude problem. If you only support disrespect, it is no different from raising animals. If a person does not even show filial piety to his parents, but respects others, it is not normal, so first look at whether a person's character is filial.
Second, you. Praise refers to love for brothers and sisters, which is a supplement to filial piety. Besides your parents, your closest relatives are your brothers and sisters. If you are not friendly to your brothers and sisters, you will certainly not be friendly to others. Even if you are friendly on the surface, it is an attempt, not true.
Third, loyalty. The center is loyalty, and people are sincere, sincere and upright. This is called loyalty. This is a necessary character, not the concept of loyalty to the monarch that many of us misunderstand. You should be loyal not only to the monarch, but also to your relatives and friends. With this kind of personality, you can stand in the society and have good interpersonal relationships.
Fourth, forgive. If the heart is tolerant, simply speaking, it means caring for others and considering problems from others' standpoint. Now it's called empathy. Forgiveness is not the same as forgiveness. Forgiveness emphasizes forgiveness, tolerance and forgiveness, not forgiveness. In the words of The Analects of Confucius, it means "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you".
5. Benevolence. Love yourself is the core theory of Confucius' ideological system, so when we talk about Confucianism, we often take benevolence as the representative.
Sixth, righteousness. Righteousness words. It means that our actions should conform to ethical norms, and those that do not conform to ethical norms are unjust. For example, "Ill-gotten wealth is not desirable", that is to say, no matter how much money is improper or immoral, don't make it.
Seven, courtesy. Etiquette is the application of righteousness, and all ethics can only be implemented through etiquette and etiquette norms. For example, you don't say hello to your elders or even look at them. You said you didn't mean to disrespect your elders in your heart, but in the eyes of others, you just don't respect them. This respect must be manifested in etiquette before it can be implemented.
Eight, wisdom. Smart people know. Refers to intelligence. In teaching, Confucius attached great importance to the cultivation of wisdom. Learning is the premise of wisdom, not against human nature, but the principle of wisdom.
Nine, letter. Honesty and trust. First, in dealing with people, it is not only an excellent moral character, but also the foundation of a person's life. The second meaning is that the country should trust the people, and the trust of the people is the foundation of the country. If people lose trust in the country, the country will do nothing.
