"Prudence and independence" is a self-cultivation method with Chinese national characteristics created by Confucianism in ancient China. It was first seen in "The Book of Rites: University" and "The Book of Rites: The Mean". Prudence is a sentiment; Prudence is a kind of self-cultivation; Prudence is a kind of self-discipline; Prudence is a kind of openness.
The so-called "prudent independence" refers to the fact that people act with a high degree of consciousness and in accordance with certain moral norms when they are alone and unsupervised, and do not do anything that violates moral beliefs and principles of life. This is an important method for personal moral cultivation, and it is also a key link in assessing a person's moral level.

The example of Shen Du is: Yang Zhen went to Jingzhou to take up his post, and the road passed through Changyi. In order to express his gratitude to Yang Zhen for his kindness, Wang Mi "carried ten catties of gold to the night".
Yang Zhen refused to accept it, saying, "I recommended you because I know you, and you don't know me well by doing this." ”
Wang Mi said, "The ignorant at dusk. Yang Zhen said
God knows, God knows, I know, the son knows. What is ignorance? Wang Mi listened to Yang Zhen's words and "came out in shame."
Later generations regarded this incident as a typical example of "cautious independence" and handed it down.
The meaning of prudence
Anything that truly represents the beautiful spirit of mankind can always transcend eras, national boundaries, and boundaries of ethnic and religious beliefs. Prudence and independence, this noble spiritual sentiment is like this. In a book written by a Frenchman, I saw such a story, which is very similar to the story of Yang Zhen mentioned earlier.
The story goes: "My friend went on a trip to Thailand and saw very cute little souvenirs at the stall, he picked three and asked for the price, and the female vendor was 100 baht each. He also offered sixty baht.
After talking for a long time, she just didn't agree. Finally she said, 'For every 100 baht I sell, the boss can only pay me 10 baht.'
If I sell it for sixty baht, I won't make anything. When my friend heard this, he came up with a plan and said, 'Well, you sell me sixty baht each, and I'll give you an extra twenty baht, so that I can pay more than the boss gave you, and I will pay less.'
There are benefits for both sides. He expected her to say yes at once, but she shook her head.

"Prudence" is a compulsory course for self-improvement. The more a person is unsupervised, the more strict he can be with himself, be cautious, and not do things that violate morality and reason, the closer he can get to the ideological realm of self-improvement.
Cautious and independent", from "The Mean": "Don't see it in the hidden, don't show it in the subtle, so the gentleman is cautious and independent." The idea is that when you are alone and no one else is watching, you should also be consistent with what you are looking for, strictly abide by your duty, do not do bad things, and do not deceive yourself.
The way of doing things lies in whether there is a person when there is a person, "there is a Buddha in the era of the Buddha as a teacher, and in the era of no Buddha in the era of the precepts", the teacher pretends to be when he is there, and when he is not a teacher, he relies on prudence.
