On the basic characteristics of China's ethical thought tradition

According to Baidu Library, the poems about the basic characteristics of China's ethical thought tradition are as follows:

1. The terrain is Kun, and a gentleman carries things with virtue. -The Biography of Zhouyi and Xiang Kun. Zhouyi is the earliest existing philosophical monograph in China, while Xiang Zhuan explains the significance of social ethics and rhetoric from the perspective of numbers and images. "A gentleman carries things with virtue" means that a gentleman should have the same generous virtue as the earth. China culture attaches great importance to morality, and "respecting morality and carrying things" has become the great personality ideal of the people in China.

2. Rule by virtue is like Beichen, with many stars. -"The Analects of Confucius is politics". This sentence comes from The Analects of Confucius. Here, Beichen means North Star. The whole sentence means that those in power should govern the country by virtue, just like Polaris, all other stars will revolve around it. This sentence emphasizes that "virtue" is the cornerstone of political stability, national prosperity and world peace.

3. Gentleman's righteousness, villain's benefit. -The Analects of Confucius. The meaning of this sentence is that a gentleman knows righteousness and a villain knows profit. On the question of which comes first, which comes first and which comes first, which comes first and which comes first, Confucianism values righteousness over profit, advocates that righteousness is quality and righteousness is superior, advocates that "seeing profit is right" and "seeing profit before it is right", and opposes "valuing profit over righteousness", "seeing profit and forgetting righteousness" and "abandoning selfishness".
