Only virtue can inspire and realize it. Governing the country by virtue is like the North Star in the sky, which occupies its position and the stars revolve around it.

Confucius' political ideal, morality and etiquette. Therefore, this paper puts forward two main points to make people submit: virtue and courtesy, leading the way with virtue and correcting the deviation with courtesy. Confucius believes that political punishment can temporarily stop people from committing crimes, while moral courtesy can subtly change people.

This is Ji Kangzi's answer when he asked Confucius about politics. Ji Kangzi asked what it would be like to kill bad people and get close to good people. Confucius said: Why did Zhizheng kill? Only when you do a good job in the country can the people get better. If your heart is good, the people will be good. The style of the world is like the wind, and the style of the world is like grass. Where the wind blows, the grass falls. This actually emphasizes the importance of politicians' morality.

Germany is not alone, but it must have neighbors. -"The Analects of Confucius, Establishing Man"
This sentence means that a virtuous person will not be lonely, but he will certainly have a partner. Because even in troubled times, virtuous people will have like-minded partners, who will respond in unison and seek the same goal, such as being good to their neighbors. Confucius himself is an example of this sentence: Confucius has 3,000 disciples, of whom 72 are sages. Although they are in troubled times in the Spring and Autumn Period, they are not alone.
5. I'm worried that I don't practice morality, don't talk about learning, don't move when I hear righteousness, and don't change when I'm not good at it. -The Analects of Confucius.
Confucius said that he was worried about these things: moral character was not cultivated, knowledge was not imparted, people who listened to righteousness could not go in person, and people with shortcomings could not correct them. Among them, "morality cannot be repaired" is in the first place, because morality must be repaired and repaired to have moral character.
6. Be determined to pursue the Tao, rely on virtue, rely on benevolence and swim in art-The Analects of Confucius.
This paper expounds how to learn: the purpose lies in Tao, the foundation lies in virtue, the reliance lies in benevolence, and the re-creation lies in rites and music. These four items are taught by Confucius. Why do you say "Yide"? If you want to pursue Tao in the world, you must first protect your own morality, and take morality as the base area, so that you can get the Tao and do it without losing it.

7. The main letter, righteousness, worship. -"The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan"
This is Confucius' answer when Zhang Zi asked him how to improve his moral quality and discernment. As far as respecting morality is concerned, Confucius believes that by paying attention to loyalty and loyalty, we can improve our moral quality. If you don't put loyalty first and strive for fame and profit in other undertakings, you will be far from Germany. Fan Chi asked Confucius how to respect morality and repair doubts. Confucius said that "what comes first is to respect morality, and what comes after labor is to improve morality". The two answers are not only Confucius' teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, but also his own understanding of respecting morality from different angles.
8. A gentleman is more wild than a villain; A gentleman is guilty of punishment, but a villain is guilty of profit. -"The Analects of Confucius, Establishing Man"
This one says that gentlemen and villains have different personalities, thoughts and feelings. Gentlemen miss morality, while villains miss the countryside; A gentleman cares about statutes, while a villain cares about human feelings.
9. A horse is not called strength, but virtue. -"The Analects of Confucius, Xianwen"
Horse, the name of a good horse in ancient times, travels thousands of miles every day. But Confucius said that to call a swift horse a horse is not to praise its strength, but its quality. Although horses are powerful and can travel thousands of miles, it is important to tame the virtue of kindness. Therefore, for people, having both ability and political integrity is what they admire. If they are talented but not virtuous, what can they boast of?
10. Hearsay is hearsay, and morality is ruined. -"The Analects of Confucius Yang Huo"
When you hear a rumor on the road, it spreads everywhere. This is a style that should be abandoned. Virtue is formed by inner cultivation. When you hear good words and deeds, you should learn, think, practice and imperceptibly turn them into your own virtues. Hearsay is easy to hear and say, without thinking, good words are not for your own use, and bad words are blurted out, which should be abandoned for morality. In addition, Confucius also said that "rhetoric confuses morality", which is enough to corrupt morality. It can be seen that rhetoric and hearsay are not conducive to moral cultivation ~
