What are the stories of Confucius about "cultivating one's moral character"?

Confucius on cultivating one's moral character\x0d\\x0d\Confucius founded Confucianism, and he spent his life tirelessly educating the people to cultivate one's moral character, to keep one's family in order, to rule the country and to pacify the world, to learn from the past, to be knowledgeable, to be sincere, and to be correct in one's heart. Cultivating one's body is the first thing to do. Confucius said, "If you want to unify your family, you should first cultivate your body; if you want to rule your country, you should first unify your family; if you want to pacify the world, you should first rule your country. The prerequisites for the cultivation of one's body are the study of things, the knowledge of things, the sincerity of one's intentions, and the correctness of one's heart. We must endeavor to observe and study things, inquire into the laws of development of things, and constantly acquire profound knowledge and wisdom. With profound knowledge and wisdom, you will be able to be sincere in heart, be consistent in word and deed, abide by the moral code as usual even when no one is around, keep your emotions smooth and normal, have no worries, and cultivate your body very well. \x0d\\\\x0d\\Confucius said: "Happiness, anger, sadness and joy are not yet sent out, which is called the middle, and sent out but all in the middle, which is called the harmony. The world's great foundation is also in the center; and also, the world's road is also reached. To neutralization, heaven is in place, and all things are nurtured." People have emotions of joy, anger, sadness and happiness, and when these emotions are not given vent to, people's emotions are in a calm mind, neutral and smooth; but sometimes, due to accidents, we will have the venting of the above emotions, as long as it is appropriate and restrained, not excessive and intense venting, which is mild and peaceful. Mediocrity is the essence and law of things under the sun, and equanimity is the path to obtaining the objective law of things, morality and standard of behavior. Pursuing the realization of mediocrity and equanimity can put heaven and earth in a position of harmony, yin and yang can be reconciled, and all things under heaven will be able to procreate and grow. \x0d\\\\x0d\\\ "Letting things take their course" is a better way to cultivate one's moral character. Confucius said, "A gentleman does not want to be out of his place. So rich and noble, line to rich and noble; So poor, line to poor; So barbarians, line to barbarians; So difficult, line to difficult. A gentleman has no one but himself!" A gentleman lives and acts according to his position and environment, and does not want to have extra demands and behaviors that are not his own. When you are rich and powerful, do more good deeds. When you are rich, you should do more good deeds. When you are poor, you should not take risks and do illegal and harmful things. When you are in an undeveloped tribe, do as the Romans do. When you are in an afflicted situation, endure the affliction with equanimity. No such gentleman will live a life that is not self-satisfied and happy. \x0d\\\\\\x0d\\\Comfortably, what Confucius said about cultivating one's body is to learn what it means to be a human being, to be indoctrinated and educated, and to be a cultured and civilized human being. \x0d\\\\x0d\\Confucius said, "A gentleman eats without seeking to be full, lives without seeking to be at peace, is keen to learn and prudent in his speech, on the road to be correct, can be said to be a good learner." Learning is the prerequisite and foundation of cultivation. A well-learned person is not concerned about food and clothing. Confucius' favorite disciple, Yan Hui, was also a model of cultivation set by Confucius, who had praised him many times. The son said, "Virtuous, Hui also, a round of food, a dipper of water, in the ugly alley, people can't bear to worry, but Hui also does not change his happiness. Wise, Hui also." He also recommended Yan Hui to the Duke of Lu, saying, "He does not change his anger, he does not repeat his faults," and claimed that Yan Hui was the most learned man. Of course, he was also the best cultivated man. \x0d\\\x0d\Confucius asked his disciples to see the wise and think of the wise, to see the unwise and to reflect on themselves. To do three daily introspection of our own "for people to plan and not loyal to it? With friends to make friends and do not believe in it? Passing the word is not practiced?" Help others to plan and do things to do their best, and friends to be honest and trustworthy, the teacher's teachings to review from time to time. In this way, we can cultivate ourselves well. \x0d\\\\x0d\\Confucius said that the cultivation of the body is based on benevolence, and "Do not do unto others what you do not want to do unto yourself" as the highest principle. Confucius said "from the son of heaven to the common people, one is all to cultivate the body as the basis". Whether it is the emperor or ordinary people, everything should be to cultivate as the fundamental requirements. Confucius said, "the original chaos, and the end of the rule is not carry on". The meaning is that all people do not cultivate themselves and have no education and connotation. Without a good education in social virtues, society cannot be well governed in peace. Only the whole society attaches importance to moral education, teaching without class, to cultivate the body for the education of the original to achieve the country's law and order and strong.
