It is easy to meet such people in life. They talk beautifully and are very likable. They are smiling faces to everyone, but they are all hypocritical, fake and insincere. Such people are seldom kind, so they should stay away from them.

Secondly, Confucius said: A gentleman does not think about eating enough, is not prepared for danger in times of peace, is sensitive to things, and speaks cautiously, so he is knowledgeable and upright, which can be said to be studious.

A gentleman will not care too much about the quality of his diet and the comfort of his living environment, but will strive to improve his self-cultivation, be agile and cautious in his words, learn from people with noble conduct and try to correct his mistakes and shortcomings. Only in this way can he be regarded as a studious person.

Third, Zi Gong said: poor but not flattering, rich but not arrogant, what? Confucius said: Yes. If you are not poor, you will be happy, and if you are rich, you will be polite.

People can be poor without flattery and rich without arrogance, which is commendable, but Confucius thinks it is not enough. Be happy when you are poor; Being rich but humble and polite is the highest state of life.

Fourth, Ziyou asks filial piety. Confucius said: filial piety today means that it can be raised. As for dogs and horses, you can keep them. Disrespect, why not?

Confucius believes that the key to filial piety is attitude, which must be respectful and obedient. If you just give your parents some money to support you, what's the difference between raising a dog and a horse?

Confucius said: a gentleman is not good at comparison, and a villain is not good at comparison.

A gentleman is aboveboard and selfless, and will not collude with others for personal gain in private; The villain is like-minded, likes to collude with each other, only cares about personal interests, but doesn't care about moral justice.

Sixth, Confucius said: unless it is a ghost, it is a compliment to worship it. If you don't do the right thing, you won't have the courage.

You don't worship your own grave, but you worship other people's ancestors. Your parents don't respect them, but they respect their parents who please others. This is flattery, there must be ulterior motives. It is a lack of courage not to do what is in line with the path of justice. Especially in today's society, people who can be brave are even more precious.
