Confucius: 1. "People are benevolent"; 2. "The benevolent love others"; 3. "A benevolent man, if he wants to establish himself, he can establish others; if he wants to achieve himself, he can achieve others."; 4. "To deny oneself and restore propriety is benevolence"; 5. "If there is a king, he will be benevolent from generation to generation"; 6. "If you can practice the five things (respect, tolerance, trust, sensitivity, and kindness) in the world, you are benevolent"; 7. "A benevolent person first encounters difficulties and then gains them, which can be said to be benevolent"; 8. "Fortitude, dullness and benevolence"; 9. "Being filial to one's younger brother is the foundation of benevolence!"

Mencius said, "How can a benevolent person be in office and ignore the people?" This is Mencius' high hope for "benevolent people", " "Only the benevolent are able to despise the big and the small. This is the story of Tang and Ge, and King Wen of Kun and Yi." This is Mencius' admiration for "benevolent people". For Confucius and Mencius, benevolent people are invincible. "Benevolence is the human heart." The nature of a gentleman is benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and wisdom rooted in the heart." This in turn emphasizes the issue of personal cultivation. "Benevolence and righteousness" is the personal code of conduct that Mencius repeatedly mentioned. "The reality of benevolence is to do things to relatives." Yao , Shun’s way is only filial piety and brotherhood”, while Yao and Shun “without benevolent governance cannot rule the world peacefully”
