Ancient Scholars' Choice of Honesty and Life

Someone once commented on ancient literati: "China ancient literati had two lives, one was life and the other was mission." It can be said that ancient literati had a lofty sense of mission. They regard their mission as more important than life, and they dare to undertake and take responsibility. Countless people are proud of the literati's "integrity" and the spirit of daring to take responsibility. Mencius said, "I want to live, and I want to die." You can't have both, and you have to sacrifice your life for righteousness. "They have transcended the boundaries between life and death, and they are pursuing an eternal' integrity' and spirit. These people regard "integrity" as their standard of life, and they regard "integrity" as their pursuit goal in life. They live for "integrity" and die for "integrity" The "unyielding" and "perseverance" exuded in their bones show us a persistence, a persistence in "integrity" and "responsibility". draw

From Qu Yuan to Tao Qian to Li Bai and Su Shi, perhaps times are changing. But their "integrity" and responsibility are in the same strain, so let us understand the kind of "integrity" and responsibility of literati through these people. Go and experience the "qi" of this literati!

"Take a long breath, hide your tears and grieve for the people's livelihood." Qu Yuan's integrity is more like a kind of persistence in his heart and persistence in his ideals. He persisted in good times and bad times. As the saying goes, "I am alone in the turbid water in the world, and everyone is drunk and I wake up alone." He doesn't want to give up himself in worldly depravity. He wants to realize it, stick to it, and bear the responsibility entrusted to him as a Chu man. However, the cruelty of reality made him give up the idea at once. He was exiled to the bank of the Miluo River. Standing on the bank of the Miluo River, he remembered the high spirits of the "Nine Songs in One". However, times have changed, and everything in those days has already turned into a cloud. What's left now? Nothing, for his insistence, he jumped off the Miluo River and ended his life. In fact, throughout Qu Yuan's life, he has integrity and responsibility. For the sake of "integrity" in his heart, he is unwilling to compromise with the secular, but insists on it in his own way. From his leap, we can see that he sacrificed his life for "integrity" to save his "integrity". As a native of Chu, he has the courage to take responsibility. In order to make Chu strong, he did not hesitate. In order to preserve the state of Chu, he put forward the "nine songs combined" and used the combined method to fight against it. He cares about the people and always longs for them to live and work in peace and contentment. From Qu Yuan, we can see a kind of "integrity" and responsibility. It is precisely because of his "integrity" and responsibility that his indomitable spirit has been created. Also let him become the eternal memory of China people, which is Qu Yuan's "integrity" and responsibility.
