Zeng Zi said, "A scholar has to be faithless, and he has a long way to go. Benevolence is not very important. Isn't it far after death? "

"Scholar" appeared about fifteen times in The Analects of Confucius, mostly referring to people with aspirations or special social status. "Easy", strong-willed, broad-minded, able to accept heavy responsibilities; Only with a strong will can we persist in the struggle for a long time. "Benevolence" is the core of Confucius' theory. The purpose of Ceng Zi's remarks is to encourage his disciples to fight for the ideal of "benevolence" all their lives.
