Compassion does not lead to soldiers, righteousness does not support wealth, kindness does not lead to officials, and emotions do not establish affairs. It comes from "Zengguang Xianwen" compiled in the Ming Dynasty, which is a very famous children's enlightenment textbook.

"Zengguang Xianwen" is based on Confucianism and highly condenses the famous sayings of Confucian classics. These four sentences are summaries and aphorisms of the basic principles of life in Confucian society.

Compassion does not lead soldiers

A general cannot be kind to a woman. A true general is very iron-blooded whether he treats the enemy or his own soldiers. This is due to the military organization. Special groups decide. A force with wolfish and bloody nature is a must-have quality in the cold weapon era, and the development of this quality is determined by the military leader of the force.

In the army, if there is no steel discipline and iron-blooded temperament, the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness will not be strong, and the key to maintaining this temperament is that the head coach of the army has an iron will and a tough hand. If the coach is benevolent, it will have a devastating blow to the morale of the troops and his own prestige.

Justice does not make money

Businessmen should not pay too much attention to loyalty. People who value loyalty generally have a relatively indifferent view of money, are generous and generous, and often spend Putting righteousness before profit is contrary to the nature of a businessman. Businessmen are here for profit, and everything they do should be centered on profit.

If a businessman forgets his profit-seeking nature and only pays attention to loyalty, then not only will no profit be obtained, but even a lot of money will be squandered by righteousness.

This sentence is a warning to businessmen that they cannot value justice and clear profits, otherwise wealth will not follow you.

Be kind and not be an official

Officials should not be too kind and upright. This sentence mainly summarizes that officials should pay special attention to not being too kind and upright. Officialdom is a benefit. People and women are of the same body and have all kinds of complicated relationships. An upright and kind official will be excluded and suppressed.

This sentence actually shows in disguise the darkness of the officialdom of Chinese dynasties, which cannot tolerate kind and upright people.

Being independent of one's feelings

Those who do things cannot have too much personal feelings. To complete a thing perfectly, it must be done through very detailed processes and experts from various industries. Rules, everything has its own unique rules. If the actor breaks the rules with his own personal emotions, then the matter will definitely not be completed.

Being rational and emotional is a more appropriate attitude towards life.

Benevolence does not engage in politics

This is not the language in "Zengguang Xianwen". It should be a modern Internet buzzword added after the four sentences. I will not explain too much in detail. .

In fact, in summary, these four so-called Confucian classics can be regarded as a kind of ideological dross. Although they teach people how to maintain an attitude in various industries, this kind of thought discards truth and goodness. In fact, it is inconsistent with our current era.
