The first paragraph of the opening chapter of "The Analects of Confucius: Government" says: "Confucius said: 'Government is based on virtue, such as Beichen, who lives in his place and is surrounded by stars.'" "Zuo Zhuan" "The Fifth Year of Zhaogong" records another passage of Confucius, which borrows the saying from "Daya·Yi" in "The Book of Songs" that "if one realizes virtue and behaves, the four countries will obey it" to make his own political comments, and also emphasizes that "government" must adhere to "virtue" principle. According to the interpretation of Han Dynasty scholar Zheng Xuan, this poem in the "Yu" chapter means that if the king advocates moral governance, "the world will obey his government." It is worth noting that Confucius attached great importance to promoting the principle of "virtue" through the summary of political history. "The Book of Rites of Dadai: The Virtues of the Five Emperors" reviews the political achievements of Emperors Ku, Yao, Shun and Yu in the legendary era, and records Confucius's "his virtues are extraordinary", "his virtues will never return", and "his virtues will never be forgotten". evaluate. The same book "Gaozhi" also shows Confucius' praise of "Shun's rule of virtue and power". Confucius used history to inform the future and remind those in power of the importance of "virtue". He believes that whether "morality" is used as a political guide can determine the success or failure of governance and the rise and fall of a regime. The gains and losses of politics in ancient times are all reflected in the role of "morality". The successive rises of Xia, Shang and Zhou were all achieved because the previous generations had "faint morals and political chaos" and later generations had "discovered and enlightened virtues".
