To make friends, you should be chivalrous, and to be a man, you should have a pure heart.

Comments: There are many reasons to be friends, but there is no doubt that chivalry is the most important quality among friends. However, in today's world, people are always looking at people and making friends with fame and fortune, which has lost the meaning of making friends. Making friends is to make friends with some like-minded gentlemen, and to be an aboveboard friend of gentlemen. Why is it not a pleasure in life?

Original text: Do not be ahead of others in favor of benefits, and do not fall behind in virtue; Do not enjoy more than the extra points, and do not reduce the points.

Translation: Personal fame, wealth and favor don't have to be won in front of others, but things that are beneficial to society and morality should not be left behind, but should be actively done; We should be careful not to overstep our duties when we get what we deserve. We should work hard to cultivate our morality and improve our self-cultivation.

comment: worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world. Since Fan Zhongyan, it has become a standard for people to pursue a perfect morality. This standard may be too high for the average person, but if you want to be indifferent to fame and fortune, don't covet things other than your own interests, and strive to make progress in cultivating character, you must make some efforts to defeat yourself, and you can't be named for profit all your life. In fact, our pursuit of the outside world, especially fame and fortune, is based on the outward intention of the eyes, ears, nose and tongue, rather than our inner sincere desire.
