Wan Zhong does not argue about etiquette and accepts it, and the bell is in my He Jiayan How to tran

However, some people saw the generosity of "Wan Zhong", but they accepted it without discerning whether it was in accordance with etiquette and righteousness. What, then, shall it do me good in a good fortune?

To be able to "sacrifice one's life for righteousness" is that people have a heart of shame; If you ignore shame and do not distinguish between propriety and righteousness, you will lose your "heart", and this kind of behavior should be stopped. Because it is often against morality to steal one's life, if you turn your back on your faith and do it, you will be spurned by others.

If I accept it if I don't discern whether it is morally appropriate or not, then what good will it do me!

Vernacular translation: (But some people) see the good and the good but do not know whether it is polite or not, and accept it. What, then, shall it do me good in a good fortune?

Wan Zhong was an ancient Confucian who advocated the unity of inner cultivation and moral behavior. Legend has it that he was kicked out of the classroom when he was a child, but the students did not dare to face him afterwards because the treatment he received did not detract from his morals and manners. Therefore, the "not respecting etiquette" in "Wan Zhong does not recognize etiquette and accepts it" does not mean that he does not respect etiquette, but because his inner cultivation and moral behavior are respected.

However, this respect is not deference in the general sense of the word, but is based on recognition of his inner moral behavior. Therefore, according to Confucianism, the question of "how can I be more attentive to me?" should prompt us to think more seriously about the importance of inner cultivation and moral behavior.

To further explain, in Confucian theory, a person's moral behavior is a process that must go through self-cultivation and continuous conduct, and this process is a process of constantly challenging personal consciousness, behavior, and ethics. Confucianism emphasizes the observance of etiquette, but it does not require people to observe etiquette only for the sake of superficial respect. In fact, the etiquette desired by Confucianism is the true expression of inner morality, the root of the diversity of tremors and deficiencies in behavior that deeply understands and respects others.

Therefore, Wan Zhong's respect does not come from superficial etiquette, but from the fact that he has his own beliefs and ethics, and even being excluded from the classroom will not help his inner cultivation and moral integrity. This fact reminds us that the right values and leadership stem from inner moral cultivation and not on purely superficial respect or calculation. Confucianism is to cultivate and cultivate a correct value and leadership in the process of being a human being, which provides an intuitive and historical treasure house for the development of spiritual culture.

Therefore, for a person like Wan Zhong, no matter from which angle we consider him, he is a model worthy of respect. At the same time, we should not be swayed by the external environment and behavior, but should uphold our inner ethics and beliefs, so that we can truly complete self-growth and self-control. Therefore, it is very important to study Confucianism, which is a process of digging deep into human nature and heart, and at the same time an important way to find one's own behavior and consciousness, so as to achieve human growth.
