What are the aspects included in the Confucian idea of benevolence and love of man?

"Ren" is the core and foundation of Confucianism. "Benevolence has three basic meanings:

(1) Goodwill among family members. Confucius explained the fundamental meaning of benevolence by saying, "A gentleman is a man of his own nature, and the way is born when the foundation is established. Filial piety and fraternal duty are also the essence of benevolence!" Filial piety means that children must respect and obey their parents and elders; brotherly love means that brothers must be obedient to their brothers. In turn, parents must be kind to their children, and brothers must be friendly and loving to their brothers. Confucius believed that this is the starting point of "benevolence", because a person who does not even love his parents and brothers cannot love others.

(2) To love all, to love others, and to treat all people with the same kindness as family members. Specific performance is to put yourself in others' shoes, have an understanding and tolerant attitude and mentality towards others, "Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you", "Push yourself to others"; if you have the ability to help others, "I want to stand up for others, I want to reach out for others". and to reach out to others".
