Extended information:

As a Confucian classic, The Analects is profound and all-encompassing, and its ideas mainly include three independent and closely dependent categories: ethics and morality-benevolence, social and political category-propriety, and cognitive methodology category-the mean.

Benevolence, first of all, is a true state in people's hearts. The ultimate compromise is really good, and this true and kind state is "benevolence". Confucius established the category of benevolence, and then expounded the ceremony as a reasonable social relationship and a norm to treat people and things, and then clarified the systematic methodology principle of "golden mean". "Benevolence" is the ideological core of The Analects.
