Loyalty: Jiezi said: "Those who serve the emperor will always try their best, which is called loyalty. When ministers serve the emperor, they can do whatever they can, which is loyalty. When you rule the world, the teaching of loyalty and benefit is the most recent one. People are loyal, and they are loyal to the people, and this is what is called loyalty."

You might ask: Is there any difference between loyalty and loyalty? Jiezi said: "There are great loyalties, secondary loyalties, and inferior loyalties, who are traitors to the country. To overthrow the ruler with the Way and turn him into someone is called great loyalty; to use virtue to guide the ruler and supplement it is called secondary loyalty; to use admonishment to the unruly ruler is called secondary loyalty. To be resentful is to be loyal, and to be disloyal to others is to be a traitor to the country."

Jiezi said: "If your husband knows about your husband's affairs but does not fight about them, you cannot call him loyal."

Jiezi said: "Those who serve the king by secret knowledge should be loyal to his righteousness and not be confused. If he misleads the people, he will mislead the people. If he misleads the people, he will lose his virtue. This is to abandon the people. When the people have a king, they must govern with righteousness. Ye. Righteousness brings profit, profit brings prosperity to the people, and prosperity of the people makes the country solid."

Introduction: Loyalty is a traditional moral concept and moral code. Its original meaning is "loyalty, loyalty." It means to be loyal to one's own nature, loyal to one's own heart, and loyal to one's own conscience. This is This is the kind of loyalty recognized by society. Jie Zitui followed Chong'er's heroic feat of loyalty to the emperor in the 19th year of his death. His incisive statement about subjects being loyal to the king and kings being loyal to their subjects engraved on the pillars had a profound impact on later generations. As a result, loyal ministers and sages emerged in large numbers in Jiexiu. In the Han Dynasty, there was Song Chang who went on a lone expedition to support the king of Dai as emperor and was named Zhuang Wuhou; in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prince-born leader Guo Tai petitioned for orders for the people and criticized the government; in the Song Dynasty, there were even more officials In the four dynasties, Wen Yanbo and others, who devoted themselves to the country and served as generals and prime ministers for fifty years, have been passed down as legends through the ages.

To this day, the Party Central Committee has put forward the great goal of implementing the Scientific Outlook on Development and building a harmonious society, and insisting on inheriting and carrying forward the traditional moral beliefs of loyalty still has positive significance. By advocating loyalty, dedication, hard work and dedication in the whole society, and doing every job seriously and responsibly, the government will win the trust of the people, double its efficiency, enterprises will prosper, and schools will produce talents in large numbers. In life, if everyone insists on being loyal and honest, treating others kindly, making friends loyally, and being loyal and modest, social righteousness will inevitably flourish, the national spirit will definitely be promoted, and citizens’ conscience will definitely be upheld. This will form an ideal society of political clarity that Jie Zhitui has pursued throughout his life. , the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the grand goal of building a harmonious society will be just around the corner.

Filial piety: Jiezi said: "Heaven, earth and man are the foundation of all things. They are born to be nourished by the earth, and they are made by people. Therefore, they are born with filial piety and brother-in-law, the earth is born with food and clothing, and people are made with rituals and music. Filial piety and brotherhood will destroy the reason for life; lack of food and clothing will destroy the reason for food; lack of ritual and music will destroy the reason for success."

Jiezi said: "A filial husband is the foundation of virtue. The former kings served Heaven with filial piety."

Jiezi said: "Those who serve their relatives should do their best to support them, which is called filial piety."

Jiezi said: "Although a sage and an emperor must have respect, if you say you have a father, you must have a predecessor. If you say you have a brother, how much more about the people? Therefore, filial piety begins with caring for relatives and is the foundation of a person's life. ".

When asked about the analogy of filial piety, Jiezi said: "A dignified residence is filial piety; being loyal to the king is filial piety; being respectful in an official position is filial piety; being benevolent and trustworthy to friends is filial piety; being brave in battle is filial piety."

Introduction: Advocating filial piety first began in the Xia Dynasty. By the Spring and Autumn Period, its meaning gradually became complete, and the "Book of Filial Piety" written by Zeng Zi was produced, becoming the epitome of ancient filial piety culture. A hundred years ago, Jie Zhi's filial behavior and his explanation of filial piety must have had a direct impact on the "Book of Filial Piety". Therefore, Jie Zhitui became the earliest example of adhering to filial piety. During the Cold Food and Tomb Sweeping Festival, worshiping ancestors and sweeping their tombs in memory of their ancestors is a concrete manifestation of filial piety. Mianshan is the birthplace of the Cold Food Qingming Festival and has long been recognized as the best place to appreciate the culture of filial piety.

At present, building a harmonious society has become the common goal of the Chinese people. Family harmony is the solid foundation of social harmony, obedience to the elderly and filial piety are the basic requirements of family harmony, and remembering the ancestors is an important part of strengthening family ties. Therefore, we should inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional morals, and everyone should develop the good conduct of respecting and loving the elderly, providing for them and filial piety. In daily life, treat the elderly with care and concern. When the elderly are sick, they should be sent to a doctor for treatment in a timely manner and provided with nursing care. When the elderly are in trouble, take the initiative to send them money and help them solve their problems. When you are far away from home, take some time and visit home often. When you meet an elderly person outside, be polite and offer help. In short, only by keeping filial piety in your heart can you persevere in your filial piety.

Filial piety is not only a personal virtue, but also the common wealth of society. A person who has high filial piety and high cultivation must be loyal to his duties in society, be kind to others, be modest and courteous, honest and honest, and become a harmonious member of a harmonious society. Therefore, as long as everyone is full of filial piety, the land of China will become a beautiful home.

Benevolence: Jiezi said: "It is born with it, carried by the earth, and taught by the sage. First it is fraternity, and it is teaching it benevolence. It is rare that a gentleman is not noble, so teach it righteousness. Although the emperor must have respect, Teach them filial piety."

Jiezi said: "What is benevolence? A benevolent person always loves others. His heart is comfortable, his ambition is calm, his spirit is gentle, his desires are restrained, his affairs are easy, and his way is done. Therefore, he is easy-going and reasonable, and he is benevolent." .

Jiezi said: "I heard that the way of kings and hegemons is all based on benevolence. When one is in a high position, he is respected, and when he is subordinated, he is charitable, so it is benevolent. Therefore, he is respected and benevolent, and he loves all living beings. Anger rewards and punishes, so it is benevolence."

Jiezi said: "The superior knows that heaven can use its time, the inferior knows that the earth can utilize its wealth, the middle knows that people are happy, that is called saintly benevolence. The superior knows that heaven can use the time, the inferior knows that the earth can use talents, and the middle knows that people It is called wisdom and benevolence if it can make people wantonly.

To be broad and tolerant of others, to follow the Tao and not to be humiliated, is called virtue and benevolence."

Introduction: Benevolence is a very broad moral category in ancient China. It originally refers to the importance between people. Love each other, so it is said that "the benevolent love others". The narration of benevolence engraved on this column by Jie Zitui, as well as his noble character and integrity of living in seclusion in Mianshan and sacrificing his life to become benevolent, is a reflection of Confucius's view of benevolence as the highest moral principle, moral standard and The moral realm will have a direct impact, which is why Confucius has the eternal saying "A person with lofty ideals and a benevolent person will not seek to survive to harm his benevolence, but to sacrifice his life to achieve benevolence." Under the guidance of this traditional morality, there have been countless sacrifices in the history of our country. Cheng Ren's heroic sage has become the spiritual backbone of the Chinese nation's continuous self-improvement.

No matter how society develops and times change, the basic connotation of "love for others" and "fraternity" of benevolent people has remained unchanged until modern times. The humanistic spirit has become the rational motivation for "people-oriented" and the inner source of the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Inheriting the traditional morality of benevolence is an inevitable requirement for building a harmonious society: respecting elders and loving each other in the family; respecting and giving in to each other and living in harmony in the neighborhood. ; Respect each other, unite and be friendly in the workplace; help others in society, and act bravely when seeing justice, so that the whole society can form a good trend of "one for everyone, everyone for one", and social civilization will inevitably flourish.

Benevolence. As the highest standard of moral cultivation, everyone is required to have a tolerant attitude. Only with this attitude can the concept of fraternity become a reality, and we will not only respect our superiors, but also love our subordinates; we will also love like-minded people. Those who hold different opinions can be accommodated; those who can use their strengths and expertise can also enthusiastically help those who make mistakes and can correct them; they can both learn from advanced role models and help the poor and backward, etc., to achieve a true sense of people-to-people exchanges. Harmony among people lays a solid foundation for the harmony of the entire society.

Faith: Meson said: "Faith is the treasure of the country; sincerity is what the people rely on." The heaven and the earth are big, but if you are not sincere, you cannot transform all things. The sage is a man of knowledge, but if he is not sincere, he cannot transform all peoples. Father and son are close relatives, and if they are not sincere, they will be alienated. The king is respected, and being dishonest is humiliating. Therefore, sincerity is what a gentleman should abide by and is the foundation of political affairs."

The old master was about to return to his country and asked about the way of kingship. Jiezi said: "Trust". Asked: "An Xin"? He said: "Trust" Believe in the king's heart, believe in the name, believe in the order, and believe in the work." He asked: "What's wrong? " Said: "If you believe in the king's heart, the good and evil will not be exceeded; if you believe in the name, you will not be involved in the superior and the subordinates; if you believe in the order, then there will be no wasted work; if you believe in the work, the people will do good things. Therefore, the people know the king's heart, and they are not afraid of poverty. They hide their way out and come in easily. How can they be so poor?".

Jiezi said: "A wise ruler and a virtuous king must gain their trust, and trust will win the people. If you win the people, the country will be prosperous."

Meson said: "Belief is the reason why you keep it. If you keep it, you will not steal it. If the people do not complain, you will not be short of money. If you do not steal the order but do not carry it with you, nothing will be done."< /p>

Introduction: "There is no foundation without faith." Faith, as a moral concept, is to fully practice one's words and publicly fulfill one's commitments. At that time, in order to assist the people with a clear monarch, he worked tirelessly to follow Chong'er in exile for 19 years. When the crisis came, he resolutely cut off his stock to serve Chong'er and restore the country. He did not give up his salary, and lived in seclusion in Mianshan with his mother. He searched for talents but failed, and burned the forest to force him. He did not change his original intention and kept his ambition. It can be seen that he worked hard all his life and even sacrificed his life to realize his belief in pursuing political clarity. Life will last forever.

Faith, as a traditional morality, includes self-confidence and trust. Self-confidence is the inner motivation for a person to cultivate his life and stand on his own feet in society. Only with self-confidence can the poor be determined to become rich. , work hard and never stop. With self-confidence, the ignorant will be determined to seek knowledge, study hard, constantly seek new things, and become talented. With self-confidence, the weak will face reality, be determined to stand up, and never give up. . With confidence, you can never be satisfied when you succeed, and move towards higher goals. When you fail, you can learn lessons to fight again, and never give up until you reach your goal. "The famous saying "should become a motto for everyone to strive for self-improvement.

Keeping one's word is the moral basis for social order and harmony, and is also the prerequisite for mutual trust. Only when everyone abides by trust can the ideals, morality and justice of the entire nation be realized. . Only when every unit keeps its word can the credit system of the entire society be established, the country's laws, decrees and regulations can be implemented, and every citizen will have a sense of security. Otherwise, social space and social relations will be full of distrust, suspicion, and fraud. And traps are everywhere, the whole society will collapse, and everyone's interests will be harmed. Therefore, being an honest and trustworthy person and an honest and trustworthy unit is not only for others, but also for yourself.

< p>Etiquette: Jiezi said: "Etiquette flows through heaven and earth, and is composed of yin and yang. Be careful about the host and the guest."

One might ask: "Where does ritual come from?" Jiezi said: "Human beings are born with desires. If you can't get it, you can't do it without seeking. If you seek without restraint, you can't do it without fighting. Strife leads to chaos, and chaos leads to poverty. The ancestors hated it, so they divided the rituals and righteousness."

Meson said: "The three talents are high, the four-dimensional righteousness is spread, and the division of rituals and music is born."

Jiezi said: "Rituals are the discipline of a country, the bond between the people, and the establishment of good virtues. A country cannot be destroyed without discipline, a virtue cannot be established without establishment, and the ties between the people and the people cannot be consolidated." . All three are the courtesy of the king."

Meson said: "Ritual is the ultimate in governance and debate, the foundation of a strong country, the way of prestige, and the unification of fame. Therefore, the whole world is under heaven. There is no reason for this, so the country is destroyed.

Jiezi said: "If a country is governed by etiquette, it will be governed; if it is not, it will be chaos; if a scholar is etiquette, it will be ethical; if it is not etiquette, it will be greedy. Therefore, if a person is rude, he will not be established; if a country is rude, it will be restless."

Introduction: The original meaning of rituals is people’s prayers for a good harvest and the simple pursuit of a happy life by the ancestors of the farming society. With the development of society, discipline and order have become the basic guarantee for maintaining people's happy life. Therefore, etiquette was evolved by Confucianism into a moral code for maintaining the entire social order. Jie Zhitui's profound discussion on etiquette engraved on this pillar has long been admired and used by Confucianists. In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty went south to Queshu Valley and went to Mianshan to pursue his ancestors and pay homage to the virtuous ones. After reading Jie Gong's essays on rituals, he had a profound understanding and ordered the officials to compile the Five Rites, which is the "Kaiyuan Rites of the Tang Dynasty". Cold food and grave sweeping will be forever Etiquette has become one of the important traditional etiquette in our country.

Etiquette, etiquette, and politeness are the great contributions of the Chinese nation to the entire human civilization. Today, when people in the developing economy have rich minds, only by paying attention to etiquette, etiquette, and politeness can we not be controlled by selfishness and get rid of worldly influences such as money, power, status, etc., so that everyone knows how to respect others, and everyone knows how to respect others. Become a country of etiquette and civilization where families are harmonious, people are harmonious, and society is harmonious.

In the great historical process of building a harmonious society, each of our citizens must develop the conscious habit of paying attention to etiquette, standardizing etiquette, and being polite to others. In the family, the younger generation respects their elders as a courtesy, and the elders also set an example for the younger generation. In school, students respect their teachers as a courtesy, and teachers also set an example for students. In the workplace, it is a courtesy for employees to respect their leaders, and leaders must set an example for their employees. Only by "reciprocity" and mutual respect, the moral level of the entire society will be significantly improved.

Performing etiquette, knowing etiquette, and being polite are the social behavior patterns generally respected by the Chinese nation. Therefore, we not only practice etiquette, know etiquette, and be polite on important occasions, but we must also consciously perform the practice in daily life, in trivial matters, and in conflicts of interest. Only in this way can we preserve our nation's ancestral culture in the context of economic globalization.

Righteousness: Jiezi said: "Heaven and earth create righteousness and benefit in human beings. Benefit is used to nourish their bodies, righteousness is used to nourish their hearts, and reality is used to understand them. Nowadays, people have great righteousness but very little benefit."

Jiezi said: "Benevolence is the model of the world. Justice is the rule of the world. Therefore, the way to establish people is called benevolence and righteousness. Benevolence means love, and righteousness means justice. Therefore, governing people and I am benevolent and righteous."

Jiezi said: "The people are incompetent. They know it but act against it. They all forget their righteousness and die for profit. They ignore the rules and run away. They rob themselves and harm their families."

Jiezi said: "A man who is righteous will cultivate the righteousness of his subordinates when serving the king, cultivate the righteousness of elders and young people when he comes out, cultivate the righteousness of disciples when meeting elders, and cultivate the righteousness of being generous when encountering greed. Therefore, there is no lack of love, no disrespect, and no respect. People fight for each other. If this is the case, then the king will be virtuous, the old will be safe, the young will be cherished, and the friends will trust him."

Introduction: Righteousness is composed of goodness and self. Its original meaning is a kind of goodness above the self, a kind of goodness higher than the self, and a kind of goodness beyond the self. It was later extended to mean loyalty, which means having the heart to repay kindness, which is a righteous act. Sacrificing oneself for justice is an act of righteousness in a higher sense. The meaning of what Jie Zitui said and the story of his upholding justice and urging the king to retreat are engraved on this pillar, which have long become a model for righteous men in the past. Under the influence of this traditional concept and traditional morality, countless righteous and benevolent people appeared in ancient my country who sacrificed themselves for justice, becoming the spiritual backbone and pillar of the Chinese nation. In modern history, in order to resist foreign aggression and pursue national liberation, many people with lofty ideals sacrificed their lives for righteousness, and countless revolutionary ancestors sacrificed their lives, thus achieving national independence, national prosperity and people's happiness.

In the "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" advocated today, it is clearly stated that "it is a matter of pride to be honest and trustworthy, and it is a shame to be unjust and unjust". This is a moral concept that the entire society should consciously adhere to. Practice this According to the concept, every citizen will consciously uphold justice, value righteousness over profit, repay kindness with gratitude, act bravely when seeing justice, and sacrifice one's life for righteousness. Every unit will consciously govern for the people, put people first, and be high-quality and efficient. With honesty and trustworthiness, continuous innovation and scientific development, the entire society will have fair laws, fair distribution, help the poor, and achieve common prosperity.

< p>Integrity: Jiezi said: "Integrity means restraint. Those who seek merit but are not greedy, who despise profits but value righteousness, who get what they have without taking it, and who try to suppress desires, are called honest. Therefore, those who seize the wealth with a thick knife and cloth, pay more attention to the crops in the fields to seize the food, and strictly control the conquests of the city. It is difficult to do this. These three things are not the integrity of a gentleman.

Jie Zi said: "It is the right thing for a prince to rebel against the country and reward the dead." I have heard the way of a gentleman, paid homage to him, and gained his position, but Taoists do not live there. Fighting for wealth will not be tolerated by honest men."

The young master said: "The one who makes my lord advance to worship is a son, and I will become a son." Tui said: "I have heard the way of a gentleman, and how to behave A son who cannot inherit his father will not dare to be his successor; a person who is a minister of others and does not pay attention to his king will not dare to stand in his dynasty. However, if you push forward, you will have no influence in the world."

Introduction : Integrity means taking credit but not being greedy. Those who are honest are always happy and worry-free. To be honest, one must be self-disciplined. Self-discipline is the external manifestation of a person's spiritual trajectory. The voluntary choice of his behavior is a comprehensive expression of his professional quality and social morality.

Jie Zitui can be regarded as one of the earliest examples of integrity and self-discipline. There is no reward for merit, no claim to the world.

In order to keep himself clean, he even ran away from his job and stayed in office for the rest of his life. His integrity and self-discipline became a model for the traditional morality of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has been praised by others as models of integrity and self-discipline. In ancient times, Confucius set an example of self-incorruption and had a classic saying: "If you are evil and greedy at the top, you will be shameful at the bottom." Fan Zhongyan has a famous saying through the ages: "Be worried when the world is worried first, and be happy after the world is happy." In modern times, General Ji Hongchang was benevolent and righteous, and he had an aphorism for governing officials, "You are not allowed to get rich when you are an official." All of these have become precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation.

General Secretary Hu Jintao proposed: "Always cultivate the virtues of government, always think about the harm of greed, and always have a heart of self-discipline." This should become the foundation of each of our citizens. Those who serve as officials should not be greedy for unfavorable wealth, those who serve as businessmen should not seek unjust gains, and those who serve the people should not take inappropriate things, making integrity and self-discipline a good custom for the entire nation.

Since ancient times, whether you are an official or a civilian, if you want to be honest and self-disciplined, you must be able to maintain your ambitions, withstand temptations, and manage small details. Therefore, no matter how the times advance or how conditions change, the names of those who are honest will go down in history, and those who are corrupt will perish. This is an inevitable rule and everyone should take heed of it.

Shame: You may ask: "What is shame?" Jiezi said: "Shame is the expression of virtue."

Jiezi said: "It is a shame not to end the courtesy; it is a shame not to be worthy of appearance; it is a shame; it is flashy but not real. It is a shame; it is a shame to show shame without saving, and it is a shame to give without doing anything. A gentleman understands what shame is. !"

Jiezi said: "If a man's righteousness is not established and his name is not revealed, then he will be ashamed, so he will kill himself to fulfill his deeds. On the other hand, being humble and poor is not a shame for a scholar."

Jiezi said: "The young master rebelled against the country, and the second and third sons thought they had their own strength. Those who preside over the Jin Dynasty and sacrifices are innocent. Stealing people's wealth is called stealing. Besides, they are greedy for heaven's merits. I am really ashamed to associate with him. Of".

Jiezi said: "A gentleman will not take advantage of someone who is honest and shameless. If a gentleman knows his shame, then the unscrupulous will get it and retreat, and the wise will advance if they can get it. If so, If you get the right time from above, get the right location below, and get the harmony in the middle, then there will be no trouble in the world without cure."

Introduction: "Shang Shu Shuo Ming Xia" said: "The heart is ashamed, as if it were in the market." . It can be seen that knowing shame and humiliation is a comprehensive expression of self-psychological feelings and social moral evaluation. It is also the standard of thinking and objective reflection of individuals and society on truth, goodness, beauty, fakeness, evil and ugliness. Engraved on this pillar are Jie Zitui's remarks about the word shame, and his shameless behavior in associating with those who were greedy for taking advantage of heaven's merits. Later, Confucianism regarded teaching people to know shame and be self-disciplined as a way to govern the country. Confucius said: "The way is based on government, the order is based on punishment, and the people are free but shameless; the way is based on virtue, the order is based on etiquette, there is shame and integrity." It has become one of the main contents of Confucian governance thought for thousands of years.

Shame, as a psychological feeling of personal restraint and a moral evaluation rejected by society, has been complementary to glory since ancient times. To seek glory, you must know shame, and to know shame, you must seek glory. Although the two are related to each other, they are unified under social ethics and mutually reinforcing each other. Therefore, different social ethics in different eras have formed the basic standards for judging honor and shame in different eras. The times are advancing and society is developing. Today, as we implement the Scientific Outlook on Development and build a harmonious society, the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces proposed by General Secretary Hu Jintao provide a sophisticated and comprehensive set of moral standards that meet the requirements of the times. They are what every citizen should consciously do. A code of conduct that adheres to and cultivates throughout life.
