The Specific Connotation of "Virtue" in Ancient China

Super complex, to understand "virtue", it is best to understand what "Tao" is first. Then look at it with "benevolence", "righteousness" and "ceremony" as a whole.

Generally speaking, if "Tao" is the truth, then "virtue" is the highest realm of being a man. If you can transcend "virtue", then you will get the truth. Generally speaking, it is impossible for people to do it. The realm of virtue is still above "benevolence", and there is a saying that "benevolence is invincible", so you can imagine what "virtue" is like.
