Scholars are filial, loyal, loyal, trustworthy, and close. What does that mean?

"Learning is filial, being a gentleman is loyal, making friends is trustworthy, and living in hometown is caring" is the expression of "four virtues" in China traditional culture, which refers to four qualities that a person with morality and moral cultivation should possess:

Filial piety is filial piety: as children, we should respect our parents, do our best to support them, and don't embarrass our families.

Be loyal to the country and the government, actively serve the country and maintain social stability.

When making friends, you believe: when getting along with friends, you should be honest and trustworthy, be consistent in words and deeds, and never cheat or break your promise.

Living in the countryside means living in the community or the countryside. We should respect the elders, help the weak and maintain social harmony.

In the traditional culture of China, these four qualities are considered as the basic qualities that a complete and moral person must possess. These virtues are also widely used in education, ethics, politics and other fields, and are regarded as the basic norms of citizens' moral behavior in modern society.
