Benevolence is a virtue.

The word "Ren" in the inscription means "bamboo", that is, "bamboo". Bamboo is hollow and solid. If you cut it open and separate it one by one, it will become thinner, and the whole bamboo is thick, so benevolence means "being kind to others." "Benevolence" means that two people regard each other as themselves, that is, "pro". In addition, there is a saying that "two" is heaven and earth, and "benevolence" is "heaven and earth give birth to everything, so people are born." It can be seen that "benevolence" is the source of all things and the foundation of morality.

The benevolent loves others.

The idea of "benevolence" is the core concept of Confucian culture, which puts forward that benevolent people can integrate with everything in the world and achieve gentleman's personality. Yi zhuan says: "Tian Jian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement;" The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality. " "Tian Xingjian" and "Terrain Kun" are both ways of heaven and earth, and the fundamental spirit of the way of heaven and earth lies in "no self". As the old saying goes, "the size of heaven and earth is called life." "It's a pity that there are many people, and everything becomes good." The ancients believed that God created everything and endowed it with beautiful virtues, made laws for it and created a kind heart for everything. A gentleman is a model of being a man and should follow the example of heaven and earth.

Starting from the cosmological view of "harmony between man and nature", China's traditional culture pays attention to the spirit of benevolence, and requires people to think of others, take pleasure in helping others, cherish life and live in harmony with everything in the world.

Confucius said, "The virtue of nature is better than that of Ofuse." "If people are ruthless, such as courtesy? People are heartless, so what are you happy about? " He believes that human nature is the basis and premise of doing everything. Confucius said, "A benevolent man wants to be a man and succeed." "Go out like a guest, go out like a big sacrifice. Don't do to others what you don't want. " It means that you should help others realize what you want, and respect everyone when you go out, just like welcoming VIPs, which means you should respect everyone in society. The "benevolence" Confucius said here means doing things seriously, being lenient with others, being honest with others, being kind to others and not hurting others.

Confucius advocated that benevolent people should respect people's value, cherish people's life and put people first. One day, Confucius just came home from North Korea, and his family came in a panic and reported, "The horse pen is on fire." Confucius immediately asked, "Did you harm anyone?" It can be seen that in his heart, people are the first.

Liu Bei was a kind-hearted politician during the Three Kingdoms period. When Liu Bei retreated from the south of Fancheng and passed through Jingzhou, Cao Cao's army approached step by step, and the situation was very critical. With 100,000 people accompanying him, the army moved very slowly. Someone advised him to abandon the people and lead several generals to ride away. Liu Bei said seriously: "to achieve great things, we must put people first." Now that the people are willing to follow me, how can I have the heart to abandon them? " Because Liu Bei insisted on serving people with virtue, he finally won wide support and support and established the regime of Xishu.

Mencius put forward that virtue and conscience belong to human nature, and people should maintain goodness and constantly sublimate the moral realm. Everyone has compassion for others: "Everyone has compassion; Everyone has a heart of shame and evil; Everyone has a respectful heart; Everyone has a heart of right and wrong. " Mencius linked moral responsibility with settling down and saying, "A gentleman is nothing more than being kind to others." It is believed that the highest virtue of a gentleman is to be kind to others, advocate the moralization of benevolent policies, enlighten people's kindness and sense of responsibility, and form a fashion of "loving people and things" in society.

Kindness and love for people

As the old saying goes, "Governing the country by virtue is like the North Star living in its place and the stars arching it." All the sages and wise kings in our country adhere to the idea of benevolence, educate the people with morality and bring peace to the country and the people.

Ji Changren, a native of Zhou Wenwang, is admired by everyone. He is called "the benevolence of Xibohou (Zhou Wenwang)", and his tolerant and loving mind sets an example for future generations. When Zhou Wenwang sealed Xibo, a Lingtai was built 30 miles east of Shu County, Shaanxi Province, with Lingkou and Lingbog under it. When digging the pond, many bones were found, and the competent officials immediately reported to King Wen. King Wen felt pity and ordered the competent officials to bury these bones. The official said: "These bones have been dead for a long time, and there are no descendants. Nobody cares about these bones. "King Wen said," He who wins the world is the master of the world; He who owns a country is the master of it. These bones are in my country, I am their master, and I should take care of them. " Then he ordered his men to prepare coffins and rebury the bones. At that time, when people heard that King Wen had such a kind heart, they all said, "King Wen is really kind! His benevolence has been applied to the bones of the dead, let alone the living? "It is precisely because of Wang Wen's Shi Guang Ren De that the Western Zhou Dynasty won the support of more and more tribes.

After King Wen's son led the masses to overthrow the brutal rule, he has been undecided about how to deal with the adherents of the Shang Dynasty and the upper class nobles. He first asked the squire-Jiang Shang. Taigong said, "I heard that I love my dog. On the contrary, if people are not worthy of love, then the fences and walls in the village need not be kept. " It means not only killing Yin Zhou, but also killing all the hostile Yin people. King Wu thought it was wrong, so he asked Duke Zhou to discuss it. Duke Zhou said, "Let the Yin people live in their original places, cultivate their original places, and strive for benevolence among the Yin people." Duke Zhou's policy of living, local resettlement and differential treatment, won the praise of King Wu. King Wu ordered Zhao Gong to release the imprisoned aristocrats, ordered Nangong Kuo to distribute money from Lutai, and opened the granary of Giant Bridge to help the hungry. All these measures show that to oppose the way of the Yin Dynasty and rehabilitate the people tortured by the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, not only won the support of the Yin people, but also won wide praise from various tribes, making the emerging Zhou Dynasty prosperous and peaceful.

Confucius once said: "It takes thirty years to govern the country before benevolent governance can be realized. After ruling the country for a hundred years, good people can overcome cruelty and avoid punishment. " From the establishment of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, after more than forty years, the rule of virtue reached its peak. Influenced by Laozi's thought, Wendi adopted the way of doing nothing, but more importantly, Wendi was very kind and generous, which benefited the people all over the world and made the Western Han Dynasty gradually strong.

Wendi Liu Heng was named acting king by Gaozu. In 180 BC, he was declared the son of heaven. Emperor Wen's principle of governing the country is benevolence-oriented, which is reflected in the following aspects:

First of all, he abolished the leftist method and corporal punishment. Wendi believes that laws and decrees are the yardstick of governing the country and the tools to stop atrocities and guide people to do good. Since the criminal has been convicted, innocent parents, wives, children and brothers should not be implicated. Moreover, if the law is just, the people will be loyal, and if the conviction is proper, the people will be convinced. Later, Chunyu Kun, the satrap of Qi State, committed a crime and should be punished. Ti Ying, the youngest daughter of Taicang Mausoleum, wrote a letter to the imperial court, saying that she was willing to be a handmaiden in the imperial court to exempt her father from punishment. Emperor Wen pitied Ti Ying's filial piety, and at the same time thought that his morality was not thick and his upbringing was unclear, so he wrote a letter to abolish corporal punishment such as beating, licking and cutting, and replaced it with flogging. Because of the abolition of harsh laws, many officials of Wendi were able to break the prison lightly and were generous and not demanding in government affairs, so prison affairs were simple and economical.

Second, on the issue of heirs, I hope to find a benevolent person and practice Zen. Some ministers advised Wendi to establish a prince as soon as possible, but Wendi said that his virtue was poor, hoping to find a virtuous person and hand over the world to him. Ministers consider it a rule to establish the heir as their son. In the absence of anyone who should be a prince, it is not appropriate to choose others from the prince or the royal family. Therefore, Wendi agreed to make his son a prince. But at the same time, it also gave a title to everyone in the country who should follow in his father's footsteps.

Third, Wendi Deng can play with the people. Emperor Wen made the mother of the Prince a queen, and gave some cloth and rice to the poor who had no wives, husbands, fathers and children, as well as the elderly over 80 years old and orphans under 9 years old, hoping that these poor people in the world could also enjoy some happiness. In addition, Wendi also benefited the world, appeased the princes and remote tribes in all directions, and sealed the heroes, so the whole society was harmonious and happy.

Fourth, save human and financial resources. In October of the second year of Emperor Wendi (BC 178), Hou Li, who lived in Chang 'an, was ordered to return to China. On the one hand, it can save people's labor in supplying transportation materials and save manpower and financial resources. On the other hand, Liehou can teach and manage the people of fiefs.

Fifth, save material resources. Wendi came to Beijing from Daiguo and reigned for 23 years. Palaces, gardens, dogs and horses, clothing and chariots have not increased. Anything that brings inconvenience to the people will be cancelled for the convenience of the people. Wendi had planned to build a high platform. He called craftsmen to calculate that the cost was worth hundreds of pounds of gold, so Wendi gave up. Wendi usually wears thick silk clothes, and his beloved Mrs. Shen is not allowed to wear clothes as long as mopping the floor. The curtains used are not allowed to embroider colorful patterns to show frugality and set an example for the whole world. Emperor Wen stipulated that all the tombs of his mausoleum should be built with earthenware, not decorated with gold, silver, copper, tin and other metals, nor should tall tombs be built.

6. Abolish the provisions in the law that vilify the imperial court, confuse the people with evil words, and criticize the people for their poor state affairs. Wendi believes that in ancient times, when governing the world, the court set a standard of accommodating words and a wooden sign criticizing state affairs, which could open up the way of governing the country and attract people to make suggestions. Setting this charge will make ministers afraid to tell the truth completely, and the emperor will never know his fault. Among the ministers, such as Yuan Ang and others, their words were straightforward and sharp, but Wendi was always patient.

Seven, take the "inaction" method. Wendi attached great importance to agriculture. He believes that agriculture is the foundation of the country. Therefore, after he acceded to the throne, he paid attention to agriculture and mulberry industry many times and often rewarded farmers to encourage them to develop production. Attention should also be paid to reducing the burden on the people, reducing land rent and taxes, and reducing corvee.

Eight, in the policy towards the Huns, Emperor Wendi insisted on war or peace, completely proceeding from the interests of the people. Although the Huns repeatedly betrayed their faith, invaded and plundered, Emperor Wendi only ordered the frontier fortress to be on the defensive, and did not send troops into the territory of the Huns, unwilling to bring trouble to the people and waste money.

Nine, in dealing with officials at all levels, Wendi is also very tolerant, thinking that the fault of officials should be borne by himself. Ministers such as Zhang Wu and others took bribes from others, and when it was revealed, Emperor Wendi took money from the palace to them. In this way, they were ashamed and not handed over to law enforcement officers. When Liu Bi, the king of Wu, lied that he was ill and didn't come to court, Wendi took this opportunity to give him a wooden stick and a crutch to show his understanding of his age and avoid going to Beijing for pilgrimage.

10. During his twenty-three years in office, Emperor Wendi often introspected and even sought the opinions of management at all levels. When natural disasters appeared, Emperor Wendi blamed himself and said, "I heard that all peoples were born with kings for their upbringing and governance. If the monarch is immoral and the administration is unfair, then the sky will show disaster and warn him of poor governance. I can serve the ancestral temple, relying on this small body of princes of all peoples. I am the only one who is responsible for the governance and chaos of the world. You ministers in charge of state affairs are like my right-hand man. I can't manage and cultivate all beings well, which leads to disaster. My immorality is really too serious After receiving the imperial edict, you should all seriously consider my fault and what you know and see, and think that I have not done enough. Please tell me. I also want to recommend virtuous and honest people who can speak frankly to correct my omissions. "

In order to help the people in disaster relief, Emperor Wendi also saved the court expenses. In the famine years, Emperor Wen ordered the governors not to pay tribute to the imperial court, lifted the ban on the people to develop mountains and lakes, reduced the number of court officials, opened granaries to help the poor, and allowed the people to buy and sell titles.

Wendi devoted his life to benevolent governance and conformed to the trend of public opinion and social development, so the world was rich and powerful, and etiquette and righteousness flourished.

In ancient China, there was a saying that "those who are happy get the world, those who are worried get the world" and "courtiers protect the monarch". In fact, I don't work for you, I just work under you, for the country and for the people. In the final analysis, it is to uphold justice and assist you in implementing benevolent policies.

Under the background of this people-oriented thought, educated officials have a strong ambition to help the world and love the people. On the one hand, actively care about the sufferings and interests of the people, and be benevolent and love the people; On the other hand, we should strive to "convince people with morality" and influence the people with our own moral strength. This is also the political ideal pursued by Confucianism.

Cheng Hao in the Northern Song Dynasty was a Confucian with a strong ambition to help the world and benefit the people. No matter where he is an official, he always takes the words "treating the people as wounds" (treating the people as wounded, fearing to disturb them, and describing the deep love of his superiors for the people) as his motto, encouraging himself to be diligent for the people. When he served in Fugou County, he helped people solve many practical difficulties.

As soon as he arrived, he heard that the local drinking water was salty. He asked his staff, "Do people always drink this water?" The adjutant said, "You don't know that only the well water in the nearby temple is slightly sweeter, but women are not allowed to draw water." After repeated thinking and discussions with staff, Hao Cheng dug a well in the same area, so that people would not have drinking water problems. Everyone said, "As soon as the county magistrate came, the problems for so many years were solved for us."

Wang Zhong, who visited Jiabao, was a red man around the emperor. Whenever he visits a place, the local governor spends a lot of money to please him. When he came to Fugou County, the responsible officials asked Cheng Hao for instructions on how to treat Wang Zhongzheng. Cheng Hao simply replied: "Our county is poor, how can we follow other counties and spend a lot of money to honor the king?" Besides, the money is taken from the people and should not be squandered according to law. "

Cheng Hao wrote to a friend and said, "For the people, I advocate Zhang Yiren to educate people." When a man was caught stealing, Cheng Hao said, "If you can repent, I will punish him lightly." This man later committed another crime. When the county officials came to arrest him, he was embarrassed to say goodbye to the county magistrate and committed suicide.

Because he is diligent and loves the people, when he left Fugou County to work elsewhere, the people cried and chased him to the county to retain him.

Cheng Hao served as several local officials, and his principle of being an official was to influence the people with virtue. When he acted as the agent of Shangyuan County Order, the Beitang levee burst and must be blocked immediately, otherwise it would affect the irrigation of rice fields, but it would require a lot of manpower. If it was too late to wait for the approval of the superior, Hao Cheng decided to immediately organize people to plug the gap and then report to the superior. His assistant advised him, "Don't you know that you will be accused by your superiors?" Hao Cheng replied, "I have no other choice. If not, I will wait for the superior to send someone to plug the gap, and the crops will have withered long ago. What will farmers eat next year? Besides, I plead for the people, even if I am convicted. "

So, under the supervision of his leadership, this gap was quickly blocked. This year's harvest was excellent, and farmers all said, "It's a good thing to meet such a good official as Cheng Xianling and be kind and compassionate to the people's sufferings!"

Die for your career.

Turning to the history of the Chinese nation, we can see that there are many people in China who would rather die than surrender, and many ancient people even sacrificed their lives to keep their promises. Numerous people with lofty ideals such as Qu Yuan, Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang wrote tragic and lofty songs with their blood and lives.

Confucius said, "Benevolent people don't live, but die." That is to say, people with lofty ideals are not willing to sacrifice their lives to harm benevolence, but would rather sacrifice their lives to realize benevolence. Life is precious to everyone, but what is more precious than life is kindness and faith in truth. "Give one's life for benevolence" means that people in do or die would rather give up their lives than keep their righteousness.

Wen Tianxiang of the Song Dynasty sternly rejected the inducement of the high official of the Yuan Dynasty, and died generously, defending the national integrity with his own life. Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan loved talents very much. In the 19th year of Zhiyuan (1283 65438+1October 8th), he summoned Wen Tianxiang and surrendered himself. Wen Tianxiang was unyielding and did not kneel to Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan did not force him to kneel, but said, "You have been here for a long time. If you can change your mind and be loyal to me in the Song Dynasty, I can leave you a place in Zhongshu. " Wen Tianxiang replied, "I am the Prime Minister of DaSong. The country is dead, I just want to die quickly, not for a long time. " Kublai Khan asked again, "What do you want?" Wen Tianxiang replied, "I wish death were enough!" Kublai Khan asked the captured Song Gongdi Zhao Xian to surrender. Wen Tianxiang knelt on the ground and said to Zhao Xian with tears: "Come back!" Zhao Xian has nothing to say, disgruntled. On December 9th, 19th year of Zhiyuan, Wen Tianxiang was taken to the execution ground. He bowed down to the south and said that he would return to his hometown after his death and die peacefully at the age of 47. Kublai Khan said regretfully, "Good people are useless to me. It's a pity to kill them!" When Wen Tianxiang's wife Ouyang Shi collected the body, she found a perfect pen in her belt: "Confucius said benevolent government, and Meng said righteousness;" Only its righteousness is exhausted, so the benevolent is also. What have you learned from reading the books of sages? Every now and then, I have no conscience! "

He who sticks to truth and justice and gives up his life is great. The immortal weeds they built with a sincere heart will light up the future and erect a shining lamp in the hearts of kind people.

As the ancients said, "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent." In layman's terms, a senior official can't disturb his heart, the poverty of his family can't change his ambition, and his power can't make him grovel. Only such a person can truly be called a gentleman. A true gentleman will never give in to evil to save his life.

Mencius, an ancient thinker and educator in China, said: "Only benevolent people can stand in the world, and only benevolent government can make the country prosperous and the people safe." If the world doesn't measure things according to justice, it doesn't need written laws to restrain itself. The court doesn't believe in morality, officials don't abide by written laws, gentlemen violate justice, and villains violate criminal laws. It's just luck that the country can survive. The wall is not thick enough and the strength is not enough, which is not a national disaster; The land has not expanded and wealth has not accumulated, which is not the scourge of the country. Disrespect for morality is the bane of the country.

Mencius traveled around the world and was worshipped as a guest minister in Qi State. Once, Qi Xuanwang asked Mencius, "Can you tell me something about the hegemony between Qi Huangong and Jin Wengong in the Spring and Autumn Period?" Mencius replied, "I don't want to talk about the hegemony of Qi Huangong and Jin Wengong. If the king insists on me, I will talk about unifying the king of the world with morality. " King Xuan asked, "How can morality unify the world?" Mencius said: "Everything is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Unifying the world in this way, no one can stop it. "

Mencius said, "Although your majesty has this kindness, you can't give it to the people, and the people can't feel your kindness. For example, you have the strength to lift three thousand pounds, but you can't lift a feather; You can see both ends of autumn hair in your field of vision, but you can't see a load of firewood in front of you. The reason is that your greatest desire now is to conquer the world and dominate the princes, and you have not put the interests of the people first. However, if you want to use force to satisfy your desire to dominate the world, you will not only fail to achieve your goal, but will do harm. Think about it, if we really want to launch the national army, the soldiers will risk their lives to make enemies with other countries, which will bring great disasters to the people. If the monarch can enjoy the happiness of the people, the people will also enjoy the happiness of the monarch; Take the worries of the people as worries, and the people will take the worries of the monarch as worries. It is impossible to achieve this step without sharing happiness with the world and worrying with the world. "

Mencius expounded the kingly way, and finally persuaded him to give up military conquest and choose benevolent government, so that Qi gradually ruled the country and the whole people felt Mencius' kindness.

Mencius showed a high degree of principle and integrity in his contacts with princes and princes, all of which originated from his fearless integrity and his moral concept of respecting, being kind and loving life. It is precisely because of the firm belief in truth that the Chinese nation has been able to continue to this day. Today, it is more important to revive the great traditional culture of the Chinese nation. Only when people return to and awaken their conscience can they distinguish right from wrong and understand the true value of life.

Benevolence is paramount.

Confucius said, "People are not sages, to err?" But "people's faults are different. Observe the mistakes he has made, and you will know whether there is benevolence in his heart. "

Zi Gong asked Confucius, "Guan Zhong is not a benevolent person, is he?" Qi Huangong killed Gong Zijiu. He didn't kill himself. He died for Gong Zijiu, but he became the prime minister of Qi Huangong. Confucius said: "Guan Zhong assisted Qi Huangong, ruled the princes and rectified the world, and the people still enjoy his benefits. Without Guan Zhong, I'm afraid we would have been a culturally backward nation with messy hair and left clothes. No one knows how Guan Zhong hanged himself in the ditch like an ordinary person! "

Here Confucius wants to tell us: "A gentleman is faithful and unforgivable." It means that a gentleman sticks to the right path and will not stick to the fine print. A gentleman should take on a big responsibility, and if he wants to do a lot of important things, he will not stick to the small right and wrong. In fact, he will stick to the right path and consider the major issues carefully and clearly, so that he can face the major issues without humiliation, be fearless in times of crisis, and risk his life for the motherland, the nation and justice.

Confucius said, "The Duke of Huan joined the princes in nine ways, not with a cart, but with the help of a clock. For its benevolence, for its benevolence. " That is to say, Qi Huangong called the league meetings of the vassal states many times without using force, which was due to Guan Zhong's talent and this was a manifestation of benevolence. It is Guan Zhong's benevolent policy that advocates "respecting the king and resisting foreigners" and opposes the use of violence, so as to achieve the goal of avoiding "barbarians" in Qilu. Looking at a person as a whole, we can't deny Guan Zhong's great achievements in rectifying the world and "respecting the king and rejecting the foreign countries" because of his temporary "unfaithfulness to the Lord" fault. From the whole process, Guan Zhong's achievements are greater than too much, and he finally achieved benevolence.

Confucius believes that people make mistakes because they have no benevolence at all. People with benevolence tend to avoid mistakes or make fewer mistakes, while people without benevolence cannot avoid mistakes, so from this point of view, the nature of mistakes made by people without benevolence is similar. Confucius said, "How can a person be polite if he is not kind?" How can a person talk about music without benevolence? This paper expounds Confucius' emphasis on benevolence. If a person doesn't even have basic benevolence, let alone love others!

Li was the prime minister of Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty. He was good at flattery, so he won the favor of Xuanzong and his cronies. When Li Ping is in contact with people, he always looks affable and speaks nice words. In fact, he is very insidious and often harms people secretly. After a long time, people discovered his hypocrisy and called him "honey in the mouth and sword in the stomach" behind his back.

Coincidentally, Li Yifu, assistant minister of Zhongshu in Tang Dynasty, is usually honest and gentle. No matter who he talks to, he always smiles and shows sincerity. In fact, he is mean and treacherous, and often uses insidious schemes to frame good people. After a long time, everyone found his mask and said that he "hides the knife in the smile."

People like "duplicity" and "laughing at the knife" are duplicitous and duplicitous. Appearance is good and attractive, but inside, I'm trying to think of some bad ideas to murder and calculate people. Such a person will not have any benevolence, just as Confucius said, "clever words make color and fresh benevolence", which also shows the importance and necessity of strengthening moral cultivation from another angle. It is a necessary measure for human self-protection and social civilization progress to cultivate benevolence, realize benevolence, and prevent and avoid behaviors that are detrimental to benevolence and morality.

Put yourself in sb's shoes.

"At the beginning of life, human nature is good" is Confucius' first choice of human orientation, which is of positive significance to guiding people to return to kindness and benevolence, and is a denial and rejection of indifference, selfishness and beggar-thy-neighbor psychology and behavior.

Confucius said, "I am so good if I want to be good." It means: "Is Ren Hang far from us? As long as I am willing to be kind, I can be kind at once. " Fan Chi asked what benevolence was, and Confucius said, "A benevolent person is a benevolent person when he is ahead of others in hard work and behind others in harvest."

The starting point of the benevolent is to start from oneself, be kind to others, forgive others and benefit others. Be able to look at each other and think of each other. For example, I am the other side and my roles are reversed. Is it appropriate for me to treat him like this? How will the other person feel? If the other person doesn't want to, then respect the wishes and choices of others and be kind to others in another way. As the saying goes, "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you." If others treat me like that, I won't, so I won't treat others like that in the future. On the other hand, if it is good, what is everyone's wish? Benevolent people should be kind to others, hope that others will become better and be willing to share good things with others. Kindness and dedication are the beauty of adults. It is the so-called "putting yourself in the other's shoes" and "putting yourself in the other's shoes".

The wife of Yang Wanli, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, is over seventy years old. She gets up early every cold day, and then goes straight into the kitchen in the backyard, skillfully making fire, boiling water and cooking porridge. It takes a long time to cook a pot of porridge, and Mrs. Yang waits quietly. After a while, the smell of porridge gradually filled the kitchen with the hot air and drifted into the yard.

On the other side of the yard, the servants got up one after another with a familiar aroma. After washing, they went to the kitchen and took a bowl of hot porridge from Mrs. Yang, feeling warm both physically and mentally.

Yang Dongshan, the son of Mrs. Yang, saw that her mother had been busy all morning and said with distress, "Why is it so hard when the weather is so cold?" The wife said earnestly, "Although she is a servant, she is also a child that parents care about. It's so cold now that they have to work for our family. Let them drink some hot porridge, there is some heat in their chests, so they won't hurt their bodies at work. "

Although this story is small, it embodies a traditional virtue of China culture: pushing yourself and others. China's traditional culture says that "when the old man is old, people are old;" Young people are young and people are young. " It is advocated that we should put ourselves in others' shoes when dealing with others, love other old people like our elders, and love other people's children like our own children. This fine tradition of respecting the old and loving the young embodies the moral concept of loving everything in China traditional culture. In fact, it is a manifestation of selflessness and a code of conduct. If we only respect the old people at home and love the children at home, it seems to be a manifestation of respecting the old and loving the young, but it is actually more selfish than the real kindness.

In fact, it is human's duty to put yourself in others' shoes. If everyone thinks about himself, the relationship between people will become more and more indifferent. Even if you seem to retain your own interests to the greatest extent, you will find that your heart is increasingly lacking in interpersonal care, and closure, loneliness and fear will accompany you day and night. On the contrary, if everyone can think of others in life, such a society must be full of care and warmth. Even if you seem to have lost one of your benefits, you will find yourself getting more in return from others. Human society exists and develops through people's mutual care, help and cooperation. Imagine that human society would not exist only if you or everyone on the earth lived in complete isolation from the outside world.

It is a characteristic of human society to think of others at any time. "Benevolence" is actually not an unreachable realm. On the premise of respecting each other's wishes and choices, I feel good and I want to share with others; I don't want what I think is bad, and neither do I. I want others to stay away from it. Always think of each other, be kind to others, promote the good and discard the evil. Maybe this is really "I want a benevolent person, and I am also a benevolent person." "If you have established yourself as a person, you have achieved your goal", so you can enjoy it with others without greed, jealousy and fighting. To put it simply, benevolent people always think of others and treat others well. Start with the easiest things around you, kindness is always there, kindness is touching, others are happy, and they are happy.

A person gives full play to the nature of goodness. At every contact level of his life and communication, everyone who is willing to be kind seems to feel the power of goodness. When he changes to the direction of goodness, he can communicate with the nature of goodness in depth. Over time, the good life can be connected, sublimated and perfected, thus evolving into a prosperous and beautiful world.
