The meaning and origin of heart-to-heart comparison
Comparing one's heart with another's is to compare one's heart with another's. From: Zhuzi School in Song Zhuxi.

Empathy, China idiom, pinyin: Ji ā ng x τ n b τ x τ n, which means putting yourself in others' shoes. —— Excerpted from Zhu's "The Third Bachelor of Southern Song Dynasty Folklore". The so-called empathy is to measure others' hearts with your own heart and put yourself in others' shoes. China people have been very human since ancient times, and they advocate caring for others.

There is a famous saying in the Confucian classic The Analects: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." It means that if you don't want to be treated like this, don't treat others like this yourself. What this sentence emphasizes is actually comparison. Intention is a person's greatest kindness and the best accomplishment.

If a person can compare his heart with his heart, he can better understand the hardships of life and respect and be kind to others. If a person can compare his heart with others, he will be more empathetic, compassionate and forgiving.

Zhang Ailing once said: Because you know, you are merciful. And: it is not easy to understand and think for others. Everyone has unknown difficulties and sorrows. Only by putting yourself in others' shoes can we understand the difficulties of others, see more sides of the world and leave more beauty.

The benefits of caring for others:

Empathy is the foundation of * * * love. * * * Affection refers to being able to understand and share the emotional state of others. When we can be aware of other people's emotions and empathize with them, we can better establish emotional ties with them.

For example, in an argument with a partner, if we can put ourselves in their shoes and think about their feelings and needs, we can better resolve conflicts and communicate more effectively. By taking care of others, we can improve our understanding of others and get deeper emotional interaction.
