The satisfaction of people's reasonable desires is not only a need for personal development, but also a need for social development. Individual people have a selfish side, and this provides the most profound ethical support for the establishment of order. “The identity of an individual is determined by a special set of beliefs and ethics, and depends on the provisions of the social system. Therefore, it is social on the body, and desires are natural on the body (ontic). There is an essential disharmony between the desire and the social form of the individual. Traditional society has the right to decide the formation of individuals based on belief-based concepts and ethical orders, and thus develops a whole set of systems to suppress natural desires." [3] (pp.60-61) Although the "desired individual" is a very tempting appeal, society has greater restraint on it, and this restraint manifests itself in the form of "institutionalization" and "consciousness" "Formalization", this system and ideology are instilled into society through asceticism.
Asceticism usually refers to a moral principle of extreme restraint of personal needs in order to achieve a certain moral ideal or religious lifestyle. The basis of asceticism is that physical desire (especially sexual desire) is the root of sin. The earliest advocates of asceticism were the Cynics of ancient Greece and Rome. Cynicism is the free translation of the Greek word Kunikoi and is one of the Minor Socrates in ancient Greece. The Cynics got its name from two sources: First, its founder, the ancient Greek philosopher Antisthenes (about 435 BC - about 370 BC), used a sports ground in Athens named "Kunosarges" (Quick Dogs). First, the people in this sect live a poor life and are ridiculed as "dogs" by the world. The Cynics believe that virtue is abstinence, and a good life is indifference to pleasure and pain. They emphasize obedience to nature, self-denial, and self-restraint, and take virtue for the sake of virtue as their motto. The founder Antisthenes advocated self-reliance, self-sufficiency, and self-control. His famous saying was: "It is better to go crazy than to have fun." People in this school of thought are pretentious, cynical, cynical about the world, and suspicious of others. Many of them abandoned their homes and went out to beg. Among them, Diogenes o Ainopeus (approximately 404 BC - approximately 323 BC) was given the title "dog" because he lived an animal-like life. In later Western languages, "cynic" (such as cynic in English, Zyniker in German, and cynique in French) generally refers to people with these characteristics.
The Cynics had a great influence on the Stoics, an ethical school in late ancient Greece. Stoicism, the Greek word Stoikoi (transliteration "Stoic"), originated from stoa (transliteration "Stoia", which means "colonnade"). One translation is "Gallery School" or "Stoic School". The founder was Zeno of Cyprus (about 336-264 BC). Because his school gathered in the hall of the Azrianos Gallery in Athens, it was named "Stoicism", which means "Gallery School". The Stoics built their ethical doctrines on the philosophical basis of cosmic determinism and the theory of human freedom. They believed that people must obey the inevitability of nature, that is, live in accordance with the arrangements of God and fate, and restrain all passions for the purpose of the universe.
