What is a moral code?

"Moral code" refers to the standards of morality, the invisible shackles of constraints, which are the standard principles or codes of behavior that are followed in accordance with the principles of morality, and which are good if they conform to morality, and evil if they do not.

There is no contradiction in morality per se, but there is a conflict in the implementation of the code of conduct by the implementer of the moral principle, see the contradiction of the code of conduct for more details. Moral two is used in conjunction, becoming a concept that began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in books such as Guanzi, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, and Hanfeizi.

Xun Zi not only used Dao and virtue together, but also gave it a more definite meaning, that is, it refers to the moral qualities, moral realm and moral principles and norms for adjusting the relationship between people that people have developed in their social life.

The Chinese people have respected teachers since ancient times and regarded this tradition as the foundation of the progress of social civilization. Teachers are not only scriptural teachers who teach, but also human teachers who preach, and their moral conduct and behavior have always been subject to strict discipline. "The way of learning, strict teacher is difficult. The teacher is strict, and then the Tao is honored; the Tao is honored, and then the people know to respect learning."

(Records of Rites - Records of Learning) This is what is commonly referred to as the "dignity of the teacher". Society attaches importance to education, respect for teachers, first of all, because of the teacher's moral integrity, strict self-discipline, so teachers must start from their own, cultivate morality, knowledge and action, in order to do a good job in education, to win the respect of society. This simple reasoning, until today, is still worthy of our in-depth thinking.
