Since ancient times, many people have aspired to be righteous gentlemen, but what can be called a ge

A gentleman, who has both ability and political integrity, is courteous and courteous, does something and does nothing, is good at helping the world, and poor is the ideal personality pursued by the Chinese for more than 2,000 years.

A gentleman should be like the sky, resolute and resolute, indignant, and never stop; A gentleman should be like the earth, thick and smooth, benevolent, righteous and moral, and tolerant of all things.

Gentleman"Confucianism, especially Confucius, attaches great importance to the concept in China. Although, in the ideal of personality formation, Confucianism has sages and sages; Taoism has a true person, a man, a god, and its realm seems to be higher than a gentleman, but the sages are not born, and the true man, the supreme man, and the god man are especially lofty and not easy to climb, and there are always not many perfect people in the world, so a more common, easy, and more perfect personality typical --- gentleman is particularly worthy of attention and pursuit. "Gentleman"One word, widely seen in pre-Qin classics, refers to many words"Son of the King", emphasizing the exaltation of political status.

Master of Chinese Studies - Li - Guan - On Confucius"Gentleman"The word gives moral meaning and since then,"Gentleman"The word has a virtue character. The Book of Changes, the Book of Songs, and the Book of Songs are widely used. "Zhou Yi Qian":

Ninety-three, the gentleman is dry all day long, and he is not to blame. ""The Book of Songs, Zhou Nan, Guan Ju":"My Fair Lady, Gentleman.

Shangshu Yushu Dayu Mo":"The gentleman is in the opposition, and the villain is in power. "

Jun originally referred to the supreme ruler of the ancient country, commonly known as the monarch. Junzi originally meant the son of a king. According to the requirements of the ancient patriarchal system, the son of the monarch (eldest son) should be educated in ideals and personality from an early age, so he naturally became a model in personal cultivation.

Later, the term gentleman was extended to all people with high moral and academic accomplishments. (Seen in Yi Zhongtian's "Hundred Lectures" - Pre-Qin Princes).

The moral character of a gentleman:

The gentleman The powerful are not flattering, the powerful are not attached, the captivating are not worshipped, the evil is not shy about the strong, the weak are not bullied, the good are friends, the likes and dislikes are abandoned, the long is respected, the young are sheltered, the people live in peace, the officials perform their duties, the poor do not lose their righteousness, and they do not deviate from the way This gentleman acts correctly Mencius said, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, if you are a gentleman, your words and deeds will not be casual, and he will think twice about everything: will this behavior hurt others? Will this matter be detrimental to others?

Only when he thinks clearly will he act. In addition, Buddhism says that a practitioner's words and deeds must conform to the Eightfold Path, which means to speak true language, to think uprightly, to speak upright, to do upright, and to correct upright ....... If you can follow the principle of the Noble Eightfold Path, there will be no mistakes.

So much rambling, summary:

Of course, it will be a little difficult to be a gentleman in modern society, but it is quite good to have this idea, as long as you have a clear conscience, I personally think that you should neither be a gentleman nor a villain, because it is really difficult to be a gentleman!

There are two sides to everything, good, because a humble gentleman can cultivate good interpersonal relationships and can create a golden sign of integrity for you; It's not good, because in today's deceitful society, few people believe that there are still gentlemen, and if you are a gentleman, others will criticize you and despise you!

Of course, a good gentleman will have a place at any time.

Regarding the meaning requirements of the gentleman, Confucius once said: "The gentleman quietly has nine thoughts: seeing the thinking of enlightenment, listening to the conson, the color of the Wen, the appearance of the Gong, the words of the loyalty, the matter of respect, the doubt, the indignation, the difficulty, the meaning of the see, the gentleman has three fees, and the diet is not among them."

The gentleman has three musics, and Zhong Qi Qinse is not among them......There are relatives to be feared, there are gentlemen to do, there are children to be left behind, this is also a pleasure; There are relatives to be feared, there are kings to go, there are sons to be angry, and these two are happy; There are gentlemen to speak, friends to help, and these three joys are also ......Learn less, forget the quick loss, this fee also; The gentleman has merit, and the burden is light, and these two expenses are also; After making friends for a long time, these three fees are also. The gentleman does not end the joy of people, does not fulfill the courtesy of people, the coming is uncertain, and the past is not careful. Those who go do not slander, they do not bribe, and they can also be said to be loyal.

The gentleman is respectful but not difficult, safe but not comfortable, inferior but not flattering, generous but not indulgent, benevolent but not thrifty, straight but not going, it can also be said to know. ”

There are four no's for a gentleman:

Clause. 1. If a gentleman does not act rashly, there must be a way to move;

Clause. Second, a gentleman does not speak in vain, and his words must be reasonable;

Clause. 3. A gentleman does not ask for it, and he must be righteous when he asks;

Clause. Fourth, a gentleman is not vain, and his deeds must be right.

A gentleman is lenient with others and strict with himself.

Gentlemen don't have instruments.

Confucius said in the Book of Changes that "the metaphysical is the way, and the metaphysical is the instrument." The so-called "Tao" refers to the existence and development of all things in the world, and "instrument" refers to one thing and one thing.

A gentleman is not a gentleman, which means that as a gentleman, he should not be confined to one thing or another, but should realize the Tao from the existence and development of all things in the world, understand the Tao, and master a law, so as to realize the integration of the Tao of Heaven and the human heart.

There is a word we often hear in life called "stingy", which should actually be written"Gadgets", that is, a person is narrow-minded, short-sighted, and easy to be satisfied with life and work.
