Everyone knows that they respect the old and love the young. Is it a famous quote of Confucius?

No, that's a famous quote that respects people.

1. There is no father and old potato answer, and he is a beast. - Mencius, "Mencius Tengwen Gongxia".

Translation: A person who has no parents in his eyes and no king in his eyes is like a wolf.

2. The filial piety of the son is great to respect the relatives. ——Mencius, Mencius, Ten Thousand Chapters, Part I

Translation: The pole of filial piety does not exceed that of respecting parents.

3. Only filial piety to parents can solve worries. —Mencius, Mencius

Translation: Only by being filial to one's parents can one relieve sorrow.

4. The old and the old, as well as the old people; The young of me, and the young of man. - Hand Yu Mencius, "Mencius, Liang Hui Wang".

Translation: When supporting and honoring one's elders, one should not forget other elderly people who are not related to oneself. When raising and educating your own children, you should not forget other children who are not related to you.

5. Don't be a relative, can't be a person; If you are not obedient to your relatives, you must not be a son. —Mencius, Mencius

Translation: The relationship between the son and his parents is not good, and he cannot be a human being; A son cannot be a son if he cannot obey his parents in everything.

6. The truth of benevolence is also a matter of proximity; The truth of righteousness is also from the brother. —Mencius, Mencius

Translation: The essence of benevolence is to serve one's parents; The essence of righteousness is obedience to the elder brother.

Lao Wu Lao and the old of people: The first 'old' word is the meaning of the verbs 'support' and 'filial piety', and the second and third 'old' words are the meaning of the nouns 'old noisy people' and 'elders';The first word "young" means the verb "raise" and "educate", and the second and third "young" words mean the noun "child" and "junior";The 'and' in both sentences has the meaning of 'pushing oneself and others'.

The whole sentence means: "When supporting and honoring one's elders, one should not forget other elderly people who are not related to oneself." When raising and educating your own juniors, you should not forget other children who are not related to you by blood. ”

Mencius described his ideal society by saying, "The old and the old, the young and the young." This is the same as Confucius's understanding of the world of Datong:

Therefore, people do not kiss their relatives alone, do not have only sons and sons, so that the old have their ends, the strong have usefulness, the young have growth, and the widows, lonely and disabled people have all been supported. The idea is in the same vein.

This is undoubtedly the long-standing and consistent traditional fraternity ideology of the Chinese nation. It should be carried forward! Looking back at the situation in China in recent years in terms of employment, pension, education, and medical care, this kind of fraternity is missing in the hearts of those public servants who have the power to formulate employment, pension, education, and medical policies related to the national economy and people's livelihood
