What does caution mean?

It originated from the Book of Rites and Clothes of the Pre-Qin philosophers. Caution (caution) means caution in words and deeds; Often used to describe people who are cautious in their words and deeds. Generally used as predicate, attribute and adverbial in sentences. "Be cautious in words and deeds" and "be cautious" have similar meanings, both of which mean to be cautious in doing things; The difference is that "being cautious in words and deeds" generally means that you are very concerned about whether your behavior conforms to the norms of formal occasions; "Cautious" is often used to describe people's light and cautious actions.

Caution is telling us to pay attention to our words and deeds. Young Song Ji casually said that Yu Shu went to be a vassal in the Tang Dynasty, but this was truthfully recorded by historians. He had to choose an auspicious day to officially make Yu Shu a vassal in the Tang Dynasty. In daily life, even if ten sentences are right, nine sentences may not be praised, but if one sentence is wrong, it will immediately attract criticism from others; Even if ten plans succeed nine times, they may not be rewarded, but as long as they fail once, one after another, severe criticism will come.

The benefits of caution.

Cautious words and deeds are important thoughts of Confucian cultivation. Confucius has been spreading his thoughts all his life. He established himself as a Confucian. The so-called caution means that a person should be cautious in doing things, speak reasonably, do not do stupid things, do not say stupid things, all activities are understandable and conform to etiquette, and at the same time, they cannot be discussed.

It is worth mentioning that it is not a simple thing for a person to be cautious from beginning to end. He must always keep a clear head, see everything around him, and see the essence through appearances. Those who do things seriously are not in a hurry, and they never brag or lie. They are uncompromising, just as the ancients said, it is a long story for a gentleman. Throughout the ages, there are countless people who like to brag. For such people, they have always been ordinary and can't do it well at all.
