Tai Shigong said in "Book of Bao Ren'an": "The servant observes that he is a distinguished scholar, filial to his relatives, trustworthy with his scholars, honest in dealing with wealth, righteous in receiving gifts, making concessions and concessions, being respectful and thrifty to his servants, and always thinking of doing favors for the country regardless of his own body. "It's because of his nature that he has the style of a national scholar." Here, the writer does have a deeper understanding of the person being written about. It is on the basis of his integrity that Li Ling established his status as a national scholar. the wind. Imagine a greedy villain. Where does the so-called loyalty and thrift come from? Even though Li Ling's fame was diminished, his personal conduct remained intact. This was the main reason why Sima Gong risked his life to defend him. The noble ethics further highlighted the tragedy of the ending, which made thousands of readers in later generations shed tears of sympathy. For the establishment of a beautiful personality, integrity is the foundation, the piece of white silk mentioned in "Painting the Later Su", from which the colorful unfolds; integrity is also a supreme state, with the white moon, clear wind, and open mind. Magnanimity allows those who adhere to it to walk between heaven and earth with a different kind of ease, without feeling at ease wherever they are. This can be said to be the ultimate goal of the life cultivation of ancient Chinese scholars. As mentioned above, "Integrity" refers not only to property, but also to being able to resist the temptation of all unjust gains, including fame and status, and to deal with them calmly with an attitude of being unscrupulous, which can be said to be incorruptible. Boyi and Shuqi, the two sons of Guzhujun in the late Shang Dynasty, should be the earliest known people who were "incorruptible in their position". According to legend, his father had decreed that his second son, Shu Qi, should be his successor. After his father died, Shu Qi abdicated the throne to Boyi. Boyi refused, and Shu Qi was unwilling to take the throne. They all fled to Zhou State one after another. King Wu of Zhou attacked Zhou, and the two men knocked on their horses to admonish him. After King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, they ate Zhousu in shame and eventually died of starvation in Shouyang Mountain. The integrity of these two brothers is not only reflected in their unwillingness to obtain a throne that does not belong to them, but also in their unwillingness to obtain health care products that are not in line with their own wishes. We will not judge whether their behavior is pedantic, but one thing must be admitted. , that is, being true to one's inner aspirations, so the book "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" puts their deeds in the article "Integrity", which really captures the key words of the incident, and they have become models of people who hold aspirations and keep integrity. Our cultural history stretches like a river, soaked in generations of people who have grown up in a beautiful culture. Those who are honest and self-sufficient are as numerous as stars. Tao Kan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty respected his mother's order and returned the pickled fish, which was honest, and his great-grandson Tao Yuanming was also honest when he "didn't bend his waist for five pecks of rice." In the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan "though he was rich in salary, he lived in poverty all his life" was honest, and Li Gang collected property in the name of celebrating his birthday. The common people were honest when building roads; Yang Jizong, the magistrate of Jiaxing in the Ming Dynasty, was honest when he "did not keep a single penny"; the national hero Yu Qian was also honest when he "had two sleeves of breeze"; Yu Chenglong, who was given the posthumous title of "Qing Duan" by Kangxi in the early Qing Dynasty, was honest; in the late Qing Dynasty, he refused to accept golden rats. Lin Zexu is also honest...

To this day, outstanding cultural people still consciously inherit the tradition of the sages and value a clean personality above all else. Tie Ning can be said to be an important figure in the Chinese literary world today. Her works are thick and deep, and she has a strong humanistic concern for the living conditions of ordinary people. She is a female writer with a big heart, a sense of responsibility, and a strong sense of cultural mission. Her novel "The Bathing Girl" has received rave reviews since its publication. Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House once proposed to give Tie Ning the long-awaited "Golden Cloth Tiger" novel award, but it was declined. Tie Ning's reason is that "their standards cannot cover the entire meaning of "The Bathing Girl". They can only say that my novel is close to this standard or part of it meets this standard. "The Bathing Girl" is not a novel A pure romance novel. So I am not suitable for this award..." Tie Ning also said, "Money is a good thing, but don't take it if you don't deserve it. I will not hesitate to take it if it belongs to you. My stuff." From these unpretentious words, we can see the sincerity and honesty of a writer. In this impetuous era of rampant materialism, there are still people who stick to their inner principles and reject unjust gains. This is indeed gratifying and inspiring. A person's words and deeds are consistent. Recently, we saw from online news that Tie Ning and her husband Watson jointly donated 11 million yuan to Southeast University, Fahrenheit's alma mater, to celebrate the 110th birthday of Southeast University. Do your part to develop academics and education faster and better.

What is different from popular tradition is that they rejected the suggestion of naming the teaching building proposed by Dongda University. Watson said: "I don't donate to be famous, and I don't ask for anything in return. I just want a 'description' mark. The main purpose is to inspire alumni and advocate Everyone participates in public welfare undertakings and gives back to their alma mater. "The couple know each other well and share the same goals. They are not greedy for money or fame. How can their life status not put those who are bent on personal gain and don't know that there are other compatriots to shame! Lao Tzu said, "The long and the short are in harmony with each other, and the superior and the inferior are in harmony with each other." This is indeed true! Those who have lost their souls and only seek satisfaction in material desires have actually reduced the quality of their lives to a level similar to that of animals, or even ruined their reputations, allowing their lives to appear in a form of negative value, wonderful, joyful, full, clear... these The life experience described in beautiful vocabulary will no longer be available to them. What a sad situation!

Chinese society, which is gradually moving towards modern civilization, urgently calls for the improvement of citizen quality. The cornerstone of modern civil society is integrity, and "integrity" is the foundation and connotation of integrity. Therefore, "integrity", a character that has been practiced for a long time but will never go out of style, is still the core of the personality cultivation of new Chinese citizens. **Same trend. If you really pay attention to reality, while you are lamenting and getting angry that the current social values ??are still confusing and the corruption has not been eradicated, you should also notice that many ordinary citizens practice the practice of "picking up gold without being ignorant" and "not being ignorant". The virtue of "returning the perfect jade to Zhao" without publicity; many businesses consciously abide by industry ethics and regard integrity as the prerequisite for business operations; even in the officialdom, which has always been criticized, where the word "integrity" is most easily tarnished, people who desire wholeheartedly or even single-mindedly There are also many people who uphold the virtue of "integrity". We should not deny the blue sky just because a wisp of smoke has passed by, nor should we doubt human nature and pursuit of good because of the existence of depravity. The civilization and harmony of society depend on the good performance of every member. Maybe we can't control others, but at least we can control ourselves. Then we should constantly think about ourselves and make our personal personality perfect. With this kind of beautiful aspiration, reading and thinking about integrity, "seeing the virtuous and thinking of others, and seeing the unworthy and introspecting," can cultivate my noble spirit. Use this to encourage yourself and encourage others who share the same path!
