What are five virtues, five permanents and five virtues?

In ancient times, there were five relationships: father and son were close, monarch and minister were righteous, husband and wife were different, generations were orderly, and friends were trustworthy.

China's traditional culture needs us to combine the characteristics of today's times, take its essence and discard its dross, so there is the present five-ethics culture: parents, couples, children, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends.

The five permanent members: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith.

Five virtues: gentleness, kindness, courtesy, frugality and concession.

Wuchang-The ancients put forward the concept of "benevolence", which is now called empathy. "Benevolence" is not only the most basic and highest virtue, but also the most universal virtue standard. The ancient humanistic feelings with benevolence as the core can be transformed into modern humanistic spirit through modern transformation.

The combination of benevolence and righteousness, as the representative of morality: "Benevolence is extremely forbearing." Righteousness has become a kind of outlook on life and values, such as "duty-bound", "duty-bound", "courageous", "duty-bound" and "upright". Righteousness is the responsibility and dedication of life, such as free clinic, charity performance, charity sale and obligation. This is still a manifestation of China people's lofty morality.

Courtesy and benevolence are both exterior and interior, benevolence is the internal spirit of propriety, and paying attention to propriety is an important traditional virtue of "a state of etiquette". "Li Ming" talks about civilization in a broad sense; In a narrow sense, as a manifestation of treating people and things, it is called "ceremony" and "etiquette"; As a kind of cultivation, it is called "politeness"; Used to deal with the relationship with others, it is called "comity". All these have become the representation and intuitive display of the civilization degree of a person, a society and a country. Beijing is vigorously carrying out etiquette education to welcome the Olympic Games. The value orientation of "courtesy, harmony is precious" is "harmony". Inheriting and carrying forward rites is the need of building a harmonious society.

Wisdom can extend from moral wisdom to scientific wisdom, and combine scientific spirit with humanistic spirit, which we still want to carry forward today.

Faith is what people say, which means that people are responsible for what they say. This is the foundation of being a man and the way to develop your career and manage the world. Keeping promises and keeping promises are the recognized value standards and basic virtues of the Chinese nation.
