Confucius said: You should not introspect yourself when you see the sage Si Qi. It is a famous saying of Confucius. He is a great Confucian scholar and a representative of Confucianism. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the society was in turmoil and there was no way in the world. At that time, the whole society was in chaos, with officials killing the monarch and sons killing their fathers, and "heresy and atrocities" kept happening. Restoring and consolidating rites is the goal pursued by Confucius all his life. This sentence means that if you meet a good example better than yourself, you should follow his example and learn from him. Uniformity is learning. When you encounter something bad, you should start from the perspective of self-study and reflect on how you do it differently from him. Take him as a warning and spur yourself. This is what Confucius said, and it is also the motto of Confucian self-cultivation in later generations. "See Si Qi" means that a good example will shock you and drive you to catch up; "Self-examination when you see a bad example" means that a bad example "teaches you". You should learn from it and continue to fall with others. Mencius' mother moved three times in a row for fear that Mencius would be influenced by bad neighbors. In his poems, Du Fu boasted that "Li Yong is eager to learn and is willing to be a neighbor", which all showed the role of this "model". Source: Communication research.
