A gentleman is cautious and independent. "("The Analects of Confucius and Benevolence ")

Mencius said, "To follow your own path is a gentleman." ("Mencius wholeheartedly")

Xunzi said: "the husband is alone, which means the division;" Points, people's big points are also. " ("Xunzi Fei Shi Er Zi")

"University" mentioned: "The so-called sincere person is cautious and independent."

Cautious independence is a noble moral character, which embodies the self-restraint and self-discipline when one is alone. Confucianism regards prudence and independence as the important qualities of a gentleman, emphasizing that under the condition of unsupervised, one can still maintain dignified conduct, without self-deception or indulgence. The following is the development of Shen Du.

Being cautious and independent means being quiet and virtuous when you are alone. The ancients said: "A gentleman is alone, as in the land of many people." This means that even when no one is paying attention, we should be strict with ourselves, follow moral standards and not do anything against our conscience. Prudent independence is a kind of inner self-discipline, responsibility for oneself and respect for society.

Prudence and independence are reflected in all aspects of life. In our daily life, we should be honest and trustworthy. In our work, we should be rigorous and serious. In interpersonal communication, we should treat each other sincerely and respect others. In the predicament, we should strengthen our faith and go forward bravely. In times of prosperity, we should remain modest and not be complacent. When we are alone, we should reflect on ourselves and make continuous progress.

Being cautious and independent is a spiritual realm and a noble sentiment. The ancients emphasized: "Be kind to yourself and the world." This means paying attention to people and society around you while cultivating self-cultivation. A true gentleman can not only maintain his conduct when he is alone, but also transmit positive energy when he gets along with others and drive others to make progress together.

In the traditional culture of China, the concept of cautious independence originated from Confucianism, and was highly respected by Taoism, Buddhism and other schools of thought. The ancients conveyed the wisdom of being cautious and independent through poetry, prose and other forms. As "University" said: "The so-called sincere person is cautious and independent." This requires that when we are alone, we should keep a sincere heart, follow moral norms, and achieve inner purity.
