Extended data:

First, the meaning of "a gentleman is not a tool":

1. A gentleman should not stick to the means and not think about the purpose behind it. The Book of Changes says, "The metaphysical is the Tao, and the metaphysical is the device." Metaphysics is an invisible Taoist body, and metaphysics is the phase of everything. Bound by the respective images and uses of all things, we cannot understand and return to the invisible Tao.

2. A gentleman cares about the world, unlike electrical appliances, whose function is limited to one aspect. Device, shape also. Tangibility means moderation, and moderation will enrich it. Therefore, the gentleman's thinking is not a tool, the gentleman's behavior is not a tool, and the number of gentlemen is not a tool.

Second, the origin of "a gentleman is not a tool":

"A gentleman is not a tool" comes from The Analects of Confucius, which means that a learned and cultivated person should not be just a tool that can be used.

Confucius, whose mission is to shape people's spiritual home, emphasized that "Tao", "virtue", "benevolence" and "art" are important pillars of spiritual home, and these four should be internally related.
