Confucius' view of life and death is based on "benevolence" Life is precious, and there is "benevolence" more precious than life. In the fight to the death, I would rather sacrifice myself than save Ren. In fact, it is often said by later generations that "killing one's body to become a human being". "Who hasn't died in life since ancient times? This is Wen Tianxiang's attitude. " I smile at the sky with a horizontal knife, treating each other with sincerity. "This is Tan Sitong's attitude ... There are many people with lofty ideals who died generously in history. They were killed to die, and the history of history will last forever.

"Benevolent people are benevolent, there is no harm to benevolence, and death is benevolence" does not mean that he deliberately died for benevolence. Death can save all beings, benefit all beings and avoid more deaths. Of course, we must "kill ourselves"; If it's useless to die, it's suicide. The understanding of this passage of Confucius should be people-oriented, which is not good for everyone, and may even bring about the extinction of the nation, the country and mankind. It is not beneficial, but harmful. Where is "Ren"?

Life is precious, but there is something more precious than life, and that is benevolence. In the case that life and benevolence can't exist, Confucius advocates: "Those who are interested in doing good and loving others should not be afraid of dying and damaging benevolence, but should have the spirit of self-sacrifice and perfecting benevolence." Confucius put forward a clear view of life and death for those who pursue perfect personality. Confucius often said that "self-denial is benevolence", and sacrificing oneself is the greatest self-denial, and the benevolence achieved in this form is also the greatest benevolence. People with lofty ideals walk in accordance with benevolence, and in order to defend benevolence, they will die without leaving. The motto of life, "Kill yourself and die", has a strong appeal and has become the motto of countless martyrs throughout the ages.

In Confucianism's view, what is more important than life is justice. The mainstream view still agrees with the traditional Confucian moral standard of "sacrificing one's life for righteousness", and sticking to this principle means sticking to the bottom line of our national conscience, which also shows from another side that "conscience lies in people's hearts, saints and fools are inseparable, and the world is the same!"
