Confucius' "repay evil with straightness, repay kindness with kindness." means: repay evil deeds with appropriate punishment, and repay good deeds with good deeds.

This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius": "It may be said: 'How about repaying evil with kindness?' Confucius said: 'Why repay kindness? Repay evil with straightness, repay kindness with kindness.'", "Repay kindness with kindness" is the earliest From Chapter 63 of "Laozi": "No matter how big or small, repay with virtue." See also, "Warning Words? Suzhi County Luo Shan Zaihe": "Also give a hundred taels of platinum to the old nun in the nunnery, and give him another seal. Twelve taels of silver were given to the old nun to build a monastery and save the souls of the second master Su, Po Zhu, and Su Sheng. This is called 'repaying evil with kindness and repaying kindness with kindness'."

Zhi means to be generous. There is a great correlation between the size of one's mind and the mind, and one must also have enough wisdom to make them realize it. Zhi, whether in ancient Chinese or modern language, has no direct relationship with law or punishment. Legal punishment is a method that requires sufficient sincerity, sufficient mind, and sufficient wisdom to use it. That is to say, integrity and a pure and kind heart have the same meaning, and the ways of action are diverse, and law is one of them. If the law is reduced to a tool for repaying grievances with grievances, justice will not exist, right and wrong will be reversed, and people's hearts will be lost. The most important thing for "reporting grievances directly" is to have sufficient moral cultivation as the basis for it to be truly implemented and have a huge effect.

Another meaning of straightness is to be fair, reasonable and impartial. Kindness should be repaid with kindness, and resentment should be retaliated in a fair and reasonable way. We cannot blindly tolerate evil and allow the spread of evil and the loss of good, nor can we use selfish means to aggravate revenge.

Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC), whose name was Qiu and whose courtesy name was Zhongni, was the master of Chinese cultural thought and the founder of Confucianism. A great thinker, politician, and educator in ancient my country. His philosophical thoughts advocate "benevolence and righteousness", "rituals and music", "moral education", and "the king regards the people as the body". Confucianism has penetrated into the life and culture of the Chinese people, and has also affected other parts of the world. Most people are nearly two thousand years old.

Confucius disagreed with the practice of "repaying evil with kindness" and believed that it should be "repaying evil with straightness." This means that not changing one's fairness and integrity because of old evils and old grievances means upholding integrity. "Repaying grievances with integrity" is extremely important for personal moral cultivation.

Confucius did not approve of repaying grievance with grievance. We do not agree to face the immorality of others with malice, resentment, and revenge. Otherwise, this society will be a vicious cycle that will never end. In that case, we will lose not only our own harmony, but also today's society. Harmony, and harmony for future generations.

The use of law and criminal law is advocated by Legalists. In this form of advocating external suppression, it is often overlooked that everyone has a pure and good nature, just like dark clouds covering the sun and being obstructed. It is humanity that lives. Therefore, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism all advocate the restoration of human nature. Good and evil all have causes, and then they are all fundamentally good. Therefore, "complaining directly" is to make people who are confused and make mistakes repent and wake up, and it also reflects the great kindness and compassion. "Repay kindness with kindness" means to be grateful with a grateful heart to the people, things and things that have given us kindness.
