In the Confucian classics of the past dynasties of China, there are many discussions on the principle of integrity. Here we will excerpt the important ones and elaborate on them. "If you don't trust the words of others, you really don't believe them." ("The Book of Songs·Zheng Feng·Yang Zhishui")·People should not believe the words of people who have no integrity. Therefore, if you want others to believe in you, you must be an honest person. "The words of a gentleman are trustworthy and well-regulated, so the resentment is far away from him; the words of a villain are arrogant but without substantiation, so the blame reaches him." (Zuo Qiuming's "Zuo Zhuan·Eight Years of Zhaogong") "With friends" "The words of a gentleman are honest and have evidence, so the resentment goes far beyond the person; the words of a villain are more than false and unfounded, so they suffer." Resent misfortune. People are required to speak honestly and well-founded, and avoid nonsense without any basis in fact. "Four teachings: literature, conduct, loyalty, and trustworthiness." (Confucius's "The Analects of Confucius") When Confucius taught students, he advocated "literary" (i.e., "Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Music") "" and other classics), "Practice", "Loyalty" and "Trust" are equally valued. We hope that students can be erudite (Articles), be upright and diligent (Practice), be loyal to their duties (Loyalty), and be honest and not deceived (Trust). Only by combining intellectual education with moral education can we become a person with both ability and political integrity. "Confucianism does not value gold and jade, but loyalty and trust are treasures." ("Book of Rites: Confucian Practice" compiled by Dai Sheng) Confucianism values ????virtue, so it is not gold and jade that are treasures, but "loyalty and trustworthiness". It can be seen that Confucian scholars regard "loyalty and trustworthiness" as a magic weapon for cultivating one's moral character and managing one's family and country. "In ancient times, Yu Tang believed in his duty and the world was in great order; Jie and Zhou abandoned his righteousness and betrayed his trust, and the world was in chaos. Therefore, a man who is superior to others must be careful about etiquette and justice, and be loyal and trustworthy. This is the foundation of a monarch." (Xunzi "Xunzi· "Strengthening the Country") ·The ancient sage kings Yu and Tang followed righteousness and faith and the world was in great order; the tyrants Jie and Zhou abandoned righteousness and faith and the world was in chaos. Therefore, as a king, you must be careful about etiquette and loyalty, and then you can govern the country. This is "the foundation of a ruler." This proves that integrity is the foundation of governing the country. "Someone asked for a letter and said: 'Don't keep your word.'" (Yang Xiong's "Fayan·Chongli") The so-called faithfulness means not breaking or forgetting one's promise. You must keep your promise and do what you say. Practice what you preach. "A believer is sincere, single-minded and unwavering." (Ban Gu's "White Tiger Tongyi·Xingqing·On Five Natures and Six Emotions") ·In a certain sense, trust is sincerity, and sincerity is trust. The two are interlinked, and basically The connotations are true and undeceiving. Be honest and trustworthy in everything you say and do. "Sincerity is the foundation of the Wuchang and the source of hundreds of behaviors." (Zhou Dunyi's "The Complete Book of Zhou Zi·Tongshu·Chengxia")·Sincerity is the foundation of the Wuchang (benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness), and it is also the basis of human beings. the root of good deeds. It can be seen how important "sincerity" is in the Confucian moral system. "Those who believe are nothing but fake." (Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi's "Henan Cheng Family's Posthumous Letters·Volume 1") The so-called "faith" means that there is no "false". He neither tells lies nor does false things; he neither deceives himself nor others. All words and deeds are based on honesty and exclude all hypocrisy and falsehood. "Those who trust are the greatest treasures of mankind. The country is protected by its people, and the people are protected by trust. Without faith, the people cannot be protected, and without the people, the country cannot be defended. Therefore, in ancient times, kings will not bully the world, and hegemons will not bully their neighbors. Do good to the country. Those who are good at home will not deceive their relatives." (Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian, Volume 2") "Integrity" is a magic weapon for people, because "the country is protected by the people, and the people are protected by trust. ”. If the ruler has no trust, he cannot lead the people; if he loses the people's support, he cannot protect the country. Therefore, the ancient sage kings did not bully the world, and the five hegemons did not bully their neighbors. A person who governs a country well will not deceive his people; a person who manages his family well will not deceive his relatives. It can be seen how important faith is in governing a country and a family. "Honesty is a human being, hypocrisy is an animal." (Huang Zongxi, "Mencius' Theory, Volume 7") Integrity is one of the fundamental differences between humans and animals. Only humans have the virtue of integrity, while animals are not honest. If a person only pursues material desires without integrity, it is a kind of animal behavior that loses humanity.
Laozi: "Words of faith are not beautiful, and beautiful words are not believed." ("Laozi Chapter 81")·Words of integrity are not beautiful, and words of beauty are not true, because words of integrity are simple. Unpretentious. Confucius: "Faith is close to righteousness, and words can be repeated." ("The Analects of Confucius·Xueer") · Emphasizes that people's trustworthiness must conform to "righteousness", and only words that conform to "righteousness" can be implemented. Mencius: "Sincerity is the way of heaven. Being sincere is the way of man." ("Mencius · Li Lou 1") · Affirming "sincerity" is the law of heaven, and pursuing the way of honesty is the principle of life. . Xunzi: "If you are ashamed, you will not have faith. If you are not ashamed, you will not have faith." ("Xunzi Fei Twelve Sons") ·Be ashamed of not being able to have the virtue of "faith", but not be ashamed of not being trusted by others.
Liu An: "People believe first and then ask for ability." ("Huainanzi: Lin Xun") We should first see whether he is trustworthy, and then talk about his ability, which shows that "faith" is more important than "ability". Zhuge Liang: "Don't break trust just because you have merit." ("Chu Shi Biao") Don't break trust just because you have merit or talent. Wang Tong: "If you tell someone sincerely, you will believe it without saying anything." ("Zhongshuo·Zhou Gong") ·As long as you can tell each other sincerely and treat each other with sincerity, you will trust each other without saying anything. Cheng Yi: "Honesty means trust, and trust means sincerity." (Volume 25 of "Henan Cheng Family's Posthumous Letters") Honesty leads to credibility, and credibility means honesty. It can be seen that "sincerity" and "trust" are interlinked. . Zhu Xi: "Sincerity means truth without falsehood." ("Commentary on the Four Books Chapters and Sentences: The Doctrine of the Mean") ·Integrity means truthfulness without falsehood. Cao Duan: "One sincerity is enough to eliminate thousands of hypocrisies." ("Quotations", Volume 44, "Confucianism Cases of the Ming Dynasty") One honest act is enough to eliminate thousands of hypocrisies.
