Kindness is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and the highest moral standard followed by our ancestors, right?

China's traditional virtue is a part of China's traditional culture. During the development of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, traditional virtues have played a very important role in guiding people's words and deeds and social interaction.

"Benevolence" can be said to be a symbol of the moral spirit of the Chinese nation. It is not only the most basic and highest virtue in each historical period, but also the most common virtue standard in secular moral life.

In China culture, "benevolence" and "human" are the same, which is the fundamental feature of human beings. The core of "benevolence" is love, and "benevolence loves love" is basically filial piety. "Filial piety is the foundation of benevolence" (Analects of Confucius, Learning and Thinking). The basic content of filial piety is that fathers treat their sons well, brothers are friendly and brothers respect them. It has a lofty position in social and moral life, is widely pursued, and is the cornerstone of national unity. The expansion of filial piety is the way of loyalty and forgiveness. Confucius regards "forgiveness" as the moral principle of "keeping promise all his life" and thinks that "the way of loyalty and forgiveness" is "the side of benevolence" The basic requirement of the virtue of loyalty and forgiveness is to treat others sincerely and push others.
