What are the five permanent members of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith? 3 minutes, clear! Chongqing President Wei Neng Landran 2019-03-2119: 28: 42

Benevolence, propriety, wisdom, faithfulness, softness, propriety and frugality are the foundations of traditional Confucian culture in China. Confucianism combines righteousness with benevolence, propriety, wisdom and faithfulness, which is called the "five permanents".

1, ren. Cultivating the mind is better than gathering qi, and respecting heaven and loving others is benevolence. "Benevolence"-a knowing word. From people, from two. It means two people together.

Two people are willing to walk together, which means that both of them have close requirements, otherwise they will not walk together.

So the original intention is-two people are close and friendly.

Another way of saying it is from the people, from the upper class. Refers to the upper class in society, which extends the essential meaning.

The earliest spelling is "| 2", that is, one vertical and two horizontal, one is yang and the other is yin.

"Benevolence" can also mean numerals and plural numbers. It means "not only me, but also many people outside me"; For example, "colleagues", colleagues with deep feelings, "colleagues" are more advanced than "colleagues"

Old people and old people, young people and young people, treat everyone with heart.

"Benevolence" was a moral category with extensive meanings in ancient China.

Confucius regards "benevolence" as the highest moral principle, standard and realm. So it's in the front.

2. righteousness. For profit, six points, only four points, is righteousness. The traditional Chinese character of "righteousness" is "sheep+me", which means to recognize words.

"I" is a weapon, and it also represents ceremonial, while ceremonial is a banner held high, and "sheep" represents sacrifice. Together, it means sacrificing for the flag I believe in.

I will die for the flag I believe in.

Respectable!

In the original meaning, righteousness does not kill people. -"Lost of Mozi"

3. ceremony. Being a man, you should respect your superiors and not be proud of your subordinates. This is a courtesy. The most famous sentence about ceremony is Confucius': "The ceremony has been restored, and the world belongs to benevolence."

"Shuowen Jiezi" said: "Rites, achievements also. Therefore, everything is blessed by God. " The initial ceremony refers to the rules and exquisite in religious worship, and then a relatively perfect legal system was formed in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Through Confucius, Mencius, his followers and later Confucianists, it has continuously enriched its content and become a social order system that distinguishes between the noble and the humble, the old and the young, the humble and the intimate, that is, Jun Jun, ministers, father and son all act according to the rules.

▲ The "ceremony" in traditional Chinese characters consists of "indication", "qu" and "bean". It is necessary to play music and worship with crops and soybeans.

▲ I can't stand not learning etiquette. You can't live without manners. If you are rude, you won't succeed. Rude is uneasy.

4. Wisdom. It is wise to do things without being confused or caring. "Wisdom"-a knowing word, a pictophonetic word. Smart, intelligent.

Words are known from the sky, and the sound of knowledge is also.

"Know" = "Arrow"+"Mouth", what you said is as accurate as a bow and arrow, and it is accurate to the point.
