What are the behaviors of a gentleman? Please elaborate. Thank you!

From the Three Kingdoms Wei Jikang's "Book of Breaking Friendship with Mountain Juyuan": Therefore, the gentleman has a hundred lines, and the different paths are the same. 百行 bǎi xíng

Interpretation: All kinds of conduct.

Example sentence: "Old Tang Dynasty Book of Filial Piety and Friendship Biography Liu Junliang": Scholars have a hundred lines, and filial piety comes first. Ming Gaoming's "Pipa Chronicles: A Few Words to Advise the Father": How can a concubine love a body, and mislead the king for a hundred lines. 」

Extended information: 行, a first-level Chinese character pronounced háng, hàng, héng, xíng or xìng, first seen in the oracle bone inscription [1], its original meaning is crossroads, and later extended to the order of vertical rows, business establishments, brothers and sisters, etc. "Shuowen Jie Zi" believes that "people are walking or trotting on the road".

Xing, Baixing refers to all kinds of conduct and virtue.

The virtuous man is also known as the good, so the woman has three virtues and four virtues, and the gentleman has five virtues and eight virtues.

The eight virtues, that is, filial piety and younger brother. People have a good, there is a virtue, there are a hundred virtues, there are a hundred virtues. Therefore, those who have a public heart are public morality;

Benevolence. That is, what the qi of heaven and earth does. Lun often has five, headed by father and son, so the ancients took filial piety as the first of a hundred lines.

First of all, correct you, there are three virtues and filial piety, and no queen is great.

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great" from "Mencius: Lilou Shang".

It was Mencius who commented on Shun's marriage, and the complete original words were: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, and Shun marries without telling him, and he is without a queen, and the gentleman thinks that he will still sue him." It can be seen from the original text that the "no queen" here is not.

It means that there are no offspring, and it means that the responsibility of the descendants has not been fulfilled. So why did future generations misinterpret the phrase "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great" as the current meaning?

Later, Zhao Qi of the Han Dynasty made the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics". When he commented on Mencius's above words, he said: "There are three unfilial people in Yuli, which are said to be obedient to Ayi, trapped in relatives and unrighteousness, and one is not filial; The family is poor and old, not for Lu Shi, and the second is not filial; Don't marry and have no children, never worship ancestors, and don't be filial. Here he interprets the queen as "not marrying and having no children", and thus began more than 2,000 years of misunderstanding.

But what is interesting is that he thinks that the first unfilial piety is "Ah Yi bends to obey and trap relatives in injustice", which means the first unfilial piety, which is to unconditionally submit to parents and tolerate them to do unrighteous things.

It's worth savoring. Many comrades said that they would get married for the sake of their parents. If you marry for the sake of your parents to deceive a person of the opposite sex, of course, it is "framing relatives and injustice", and the problem is not solved, but the first mistake is committed.

Filial piety. In fact, these old sayings are still followed in the 21st century, which is a tragic thing in itself. Passing on the family is to treat children as a machine for giving birth to children, as property. Parents see having children as an investment, which in itself.

It's worth resisting.

Translating Mencius's words into modern Chinese, it means: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the responsibility of not keeping the responsibility of future generations is the greatest." Shun got married without telling his parents, which is no queen, but the gentleman thought that it was almost the same as telling him (because Shun was a monk, and it was Yao who wanted to marry his daughter to him).

In other words, Mencius's original words did not contain the meaning that not having children is unfilial piety. Later, Zhao Qi's "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics" misinterpreted Mencius's words. Translate Zhao Qi's understanding of what Mencius said into modern text means:

Blind obedience, seeing that parents are at fault and not persuading, so that they fall into injustice, is the first type of unfilial piety; The family is poor, and the parents are old, but they do not go to the official to eat and support their parents, which is the second kind of unfilial piety; Not marrying a wife and having children, cutting off offspring, this is the third type of unfilial piety.

Mencius believed that having no queen is more unfilial than trapping relatives and not supporting their parents. In Confucius, "filial piety" first means to give birth to heirs and continue the incense. It can be seen that childbirth is regarded as the highest embodiment of "filial piety" in Confucianism, and the meaning of "no queen" so "great" is here.
