Exploring Confucius' Thought of Benevolence and Rite
Confucius is a benevolent man. Benevolence is the first essence, and light is the color of heaven and earth, the sun, the moon and Hui Qi. Benevolence is loyalty to the monarch and filial piety to the country. Benevolence is a man of five virtues, gentle and courteous, not stupid and not excited, not slandering and not speculating. Yao Shun is a benevolent man, and Zhou Wen of Shang Tang is a benevolent man. A scholar, racking his brains and working hard, never forgets "self-denial and courtesy" (The Analects of Confucius, Yan Yuan). The Analects of Confucius says benevolence, saying: "Benevolent people are benevolent, and those who know are benevolent"; "Only the benevolent can be good and evil"; "Wholehearted for benevolence, no evil" (The Analects of Confucius, Establishing Man). Confucius was content with kindness and spread his understanding to his disciples. He has a clear love-hate relationship and strong feelings. The sun shone on him, his face was straight, his head held high and his shoulders were straight. Confucius is upright. Confucius means righteousness, but it is still benevolence. "Righteousness is divided into arts, and benevolence is also a festival" (Book of Rites). Righteousness is the external expression of benevolence. Therefore, "scholars have to do Hongyi, and they have a long way to go. Isn't it important to think that benevolence is your responsibility? Isn't it far after death? " (The Analects of Confucius Taber VIII). Righteousness emphasizes people's identity, does things that conform to their identity, and adheres to righteousness, which is righteousness. Loyal Confucius, stupid, dull, disdainful and out of date, "knows it can't be done" and moves on; For the sake of benevolence in my heart, I have no hesitation. Confucius, courtesy also. Etiquette is a rule, not a square. "A gentleman's righteousness is quality, while propriety is action" (The Analects of Confucius, Wei Linggong). Etiquette stipulates the rules of occasion, identity and behavior, including the language of communication with people, the appearance of entering and leaving the court, and the etiquette of going to other countries. Confucius maintained the social hierarchy, emphasizing "only the name and the instrument, not only the dummy" (King Zhou Jiyi in the 23rd year of Zi Jian 'an). But Confucius was not bound by ceremony, but danced between ceremony and ceremony, replacing cheerful music with solemn ancient music. One board and one string, clap your hands and be reasonable. In the atmosphere of ancient animal husbandry, Confucius wore dark black and neon fur and read out the joy of the ceremony on a bamboo tube. Confucius was still simple, praising Yan Hui for "eating and drinking in a humble alley" (The Analects of Confucius Yong Ye), and he also practiced it. "Late spring, those who have served spring, five or six people are crowned, six or seven boys, bathing in interpretation, dancing in the wind, singing back" ("Advanced Analects of Confucius" Source: people
