Mencius advocated "five ethics". What are the "five virtues"?

Five ethics refer to five interpersonal relationships and rules of words and deeds. Human relations include: monarch, minister, father and son, brother, husband and wife, friends, and loyalty, filial piety, love, forbearance and kindness are the rules of the "five ethics".

The ancients believed that human relations were the moral relationship between people. Mencius believes that there is a blood relationship between father and son, courtesy and righteousness between monarch and minister, love and affection between husband and wife, the order of respect and inferiority, and honesty and credibility between friends. These are the codes of conduct for dealing with interpersonal relationships.

The word human relations first appeared in Mencius? In the book On Teng Wengong, it is recorded that ancient people "lived in seclusion without teaching, and were close to animals", while saints "made a pact with Stuart and taught human relations".

In Shangshu? In Yao Dian, there is a saying that "there are five codes of God", which means the teaching of five virtues. The five codes here refer to "father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother's friendship, brother's respect and son's filial piety". Later, Confucius put forward the idea of "Jun Jun, minister, father and son", which increased the relationship between monarch and minister in human relations.

"Mencius? Teng Wengong I: "Make Qi Situ, teach human relations: father and son are close, monarch and minister are righteous, husband and wife are different, young and old are orderly, and friends are trustworthy. " ? From the moment we were born, we began to have our own role orientation. We have parents, brothers and friends, and we will get married and have children in the future. In these relationships, we can better understand our position, and this relationship positioning also includes the distance between relatives and friends. If there is disorder in interpersonal relationship, it is called incest, which is an irregular behavior and is usually taboo in moral and legal systems.

When you are a brother, you should respect your brother. As friends, both sides should be honest and trustworthy.
