Wealth cannot be lewd, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be compromised. Wisdom: Sticking to moral integrity is more important than anything else. The background of Mencius' saying this passage is: once, a man named Jing Chun talked with Mencius. Jing Chun believes that Gongsun Yan, a famous lobbyist and Zhang Yi, a famous strategist of Wei State during the Warring States Period, can be "angry and afraid of princes, and live in peace with the world, so they are truly brave. Mencius said that these people "can't be courageous people" and then put forward his own opinions. The three sentences he chose are the standards of a courageous person: wealth is envied, poverty is hated, and power is feared, but he can't be moved by it, showing a noble character of sticking to integrity and righteousness. In the war years, many revolutionary martyrs faced the temptation of wealth, disdained it, threw their heads and shed their blood. Today's leading cadres in party member should also be such people, refusing corruption and never touching them. In a materialistic world, handle the relationship between internal and external factors. Internal cause is the basis of the change and development of things. As a gentleman, he has mature and stable thoughts, correct ethics and strong will, which determines that wealth cannot confuse his thoughts, poverty cannot change his ethics and power cannot subdue his will. External cause is the condition for the change and development of things, but it does not play a decisive role in the change and development of things. External cause needs internal cause to play a role in the change and development of things. Therefore, even if a gentleman is rich, he will not do excessive things, be extravagant or indulge in debauchery; Even if he is poor, although he is poor, he will not be poor, which will not change his integrity and will not do inhuman and unjust things; Even force cannot subdue his will. Wealth cannot shake your heart; Poor, can't change moral integrity; Mighty, can't be discouraged. This is the so-called gentleman. These actions of a gentleman show heroism, which is called having backbone today. Source: Procuratorial Fengyun Prevention of Duty Crimes
