Extended information:
Integrity can be interpreted as: honesty, sincerity, credibility, and trust. The first is to gain trust from others; the second is to give trust to others. Only when you are loyal and sincere can you gain trust; only when you are trustworthy can you have credibility. If the people have no faith, they will not stand. To be a human being, you must first be honest. Honesty and trustworthiness are the basic principles for dealing with people and the traditional morality of the Chinese nation.
The people cannot stand without trust, the industry cannot prosper without trust, and the country cannot be strong without trust. History has proven that people without credibility have no future, and enterprises without credibility cannot survive. A society that does not pay attention to credibility is a society that is degenerate and chaotic, and a country that does not pay attention to credibility is a country without hope.
A person needs to have a spirit, and a nation needs to have a spirit even more. The thousands of years of glorious history of the Chinese nation have given birth to countless immortal souls shining with patriotism and national spirit. In the new era, new young people are full of blood and energy. They have grown up under the influence of the high-spirited and lofty national spirit, turned their spirit into strength, and become a new force in the great cause of national rejuvenation in the future.
"Guanzi" simply solves the relationship between matter and spirit in the direction of materialism, believing that conscious people are generated by essence. He said, "For the life of a mortal, the sky produces its essence, and the earth produces its form. When combined, they become human beings. Harmony is the birth, and disharmony is not the birth." . This is putting material first.
"Guanzi" does not deny ghosts and gods, but it believes that ghosts and gods are also generated by essence. It is said that essence "flows between heaven and earth, and is called ghosts and gods." Treating ghosts and gods as ordinary objects and denying that they are supernatural existence reflects the materialistic pantheistic thought.
