What does "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you" means?

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" means: don't do to others what you don't want to accept.

This sentence comes from the "Analects" of Confucius in the pre-Qin Dynasty: "The Master said: 'Forgive me! Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.'"

The vernacular interpretation of the article Yes: (Confucius) said: "That's probably forgiveness! Don't impose things on others that you hate."

Don't impose on others things that you don't want to endure. "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" is a principle first expressed by Confucius, the founder of Confucianism.
