The famous sayings of Confucian culture are as follows:
1. I examine myself three times every day: Are I being unfaithful to others? Make friends but don’t believe it? Are you not used to it? ——"The Analects of Confucius"
I reflect on myself many times every day: Do I do my best when doing things for others? Do you treat your friends with sincerity? Have you reviewed the studies taught by the teacher?
2. Isn’t it true that one should learn and practice from time to time? Isn’t it great to have friends from far away? Isn't it a gentleman if a person doesn't know something but doesn't get upset? ——"The Analects of Confucius"
Isn't it fun to study and constantly review and practice? Isn’t it nice to have friends from far away? People don't understand me, but I don't resent them. Aren't I also a gentleman?
3. A prosperous house, a prosperous body with virtue, a broad mind and a fat body, so a gentleman must be sincere in his intentions. ——"University"
Wealth can modify a house, morality can modify the body and mind, and a broad mind can make the body and mind comfortable, so a gentleman must be honest in his thoughts.
4. No one knows the evil of his son, nor the strength of his seedling. ——"University"
No one knows the shortcomings of his children, and no one is satisfied with the goodness of his crops.
5. A gentleman has himself, and then seeks others. ——"University"
Only when you are kind and virtuous can you ask others to do good.
6. The way of a gentleman is revealed by the sun; the way of a villain is revealed by the sun. The way of a gentleman is simple but not tiresome, concise and written, gentle and reasonable. Knowing the distance and the near, knowing the direction of the wind, and knowing the appearance of the subtle can lead to virtue. ——"The Doctrine of the Mean"
The way of a gentleman is to hide his virtues deeply but reveal them day by day. The way of a villain is: to be revealed and gradually disappear. The way a gentleman behaves is that he is plain in appearance and not offensive, simple but elegant, gentle and methodical, knows that the distance begins with the near, knows that educating others starts with himself, and knows that subtle things will gradually develop. Reveal it, and thus enter into the virtue of a saint.
7. When joy, anger, sorrow, and joy have not arisen, it is called the middle. When they arise, they are all in the middle, and it is called harmony. ...to achieve neutrality, the heaven will have its place, and all things will be nurtured. ——"The Doctrine of the Mean"
If a person's emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy are not expressed, it is called "moderate"; if they are expressed in compliance with the law, it is called "harmony". When "neutralization" is achieved, heaven and earth will each occupy their own positions, and all things will grow.
8. Don’t do it to others if you don’t want to do it to yourself. ——"The Doctrine of the Mean"
Don't do things to others that you don't want to do.
9. Being eager to learn is close to knowledge, practicing hard is close to benevolence, and knowing shame is close to courage. ——"The Doctrine of the Mean"
Love of learning is close to wisdom, striving to do good is close to benevolence, knowing shame is close to courage.
10. Everything will be established if it is hesitated, and it will be wasted if it is not hesitated. ——"The Doctrine of the Mean"
In anything, if you are prepared, you will succeed, if you are not prepared, you will fail.
11. Learn it extensively, interrogate it, think carefully, discern it clearly, and practice it sincerely. ——"The Doctrine of the Mean"
Study extensively, explore in detail, think carefully, discern clearly, and implement faithfully.
12. The way of heaven and earth can be summed up in one word. If there are no two things, then the creatures will be unpredictable. The way of heaven and earth is broad, thick, high, bright, long and long. ——"The Doctrine of the Mean"
The laws of heaven and earth can be summarized in one sentence. It is unique in itself, nurtures all things, and is immeasurable. The laws of heaven and earth are broad, profound, superb, shrewd, long-lasting and long-term.
