What are Chinese values?

Chinese values 1, "rich and powerful rich and powerful rich and powerful rich and powerful rich and powerful rich and powerful rich and powerful rich and powerful rich and powerful". It means money, beauty, power, status and reputation. The so-called "the world, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit," the sage of this maxim out of the vast majority of Chinese people's real pursuit of life, which is the most realistic problem. As the saying goes, "People die for money, birds die for food" and "If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them". The so-called "to take people, people can be exhausted", all generations of readers ten years of hard work, strategist warrior "cultivated martial arts, sold with the emperor's family", for the word of wealth and riches. How many heroes and heroines carry the head to fight the world, also by the "emperor and generals would rather have the seed," inspired by the motivation behind the word is rich and powerful. Mencius measured the great man, but also put the "rich and noble can not be obscene" in the first place, can see the significance of the word rich and noble in the hearts of the Chinese people. Moreover, whether from the viewpoint of materialism or idealism, this is in line with the characteristics of human nature. From a practical point of view, it is also the most suitable for reality. In today's China, success has become the primary, if not the only, measure of a person's value. Not only is it the standard by which society measures a person's social value, but it is also the standard by which individuals measure the value of their own lives. Today's so-called success is nothing more than a subtle and elegant way of saying the value of wealth and prosperity. If a person gets a world gold medal but is reduced to being a scrubber, no one will consider her a success. Deng Jiaxuan built the atomic and hydrogen bombs for his country, but he died of poverty and illness, which is also a warning to the learned. So, if it is still debatable whether wealth and prosperity are the core values of Chinese people in traditional Chinese society, there should not be much doubt that they are the core values of Chinese people nowadays. 2 、、、、 tai ping tai ping tai ping tai ping tai ping tai ping tai ping tai ping tai ping 。。。。 It is also an ideal that the country is united in pursuing, including the meaning of peace, calmness and harmony. Peace is the first law of governance and the highest standard of politics. It is the highest standard of politics. For example, the world is at peace, the country is at peace and the people are at peace, and the world is at peace. Peace is also the first rule of life. For the common people, the universal pursuit of life is also to live in peace and work in contentment, and to enjoy the years of peace. As the saying goes: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person", "What the people are looking for is peace", "Peace is good", "Good people live in peace" and so on. "and so on; in terms of dealing with people, there are also "one more thing is better than one less thing." The essence is to pursue peace; in life, people are restless to those who do not move to seek changes and new people, but also tend to reprimand: "Peaceful days but, why to engage in the right and left! Why do you want to engage in the right and left!" "What do you want to make a name for yourself?" "What's the point of messing up when you're not having a good time?" And so on. 3 、、、、 Zhongxiao Zhongxiao Zhongxiao Zhongxiao Zhongxiao 。。。。 The status of filial piety in Chinese society can be said to be unparalleled, the so-called "rule the world with filial piety", "hundred good deeds filial piety first", filial piety's status is beyond reproach. In Chinese society, if a person is accused of being unfaithful, he can still come out to see others, but if he is accused of being unfilial, he cannot be a human being. Therefore, even if one is an unscrupulous person, as long as he can still fulfill his filial piety, he can obtain the last moral refuge and his soul can be finally redeemed. We have seen many stories of people who raped, raped, burned, and killed, who did countless things that were so inhumane that everyone wanted to eat their flesh, but as long as there is a sentence at the end that says, "But this person is a filial son," or "This person served his mother with great filial piety," then everyone will give a hint of forgiveness and think that this person's nature is not so bad and there is still salvation. and think that this person's nature is not so bad and there is still salvation. This is a very interesting cultural mentality, just like in the West, as long as there is a sentence at the end that says, "No matter what, this person believes in God," then his soul can be saved, no matter how many sins he has committed in his life. Loyalty is also a very important concept. The first of the three principles - the king is the principle of his subjects - speaks of loyalty. Guan Yu, the first person of folk worship, is also the embodiment of loyalty. Loyalty, filial piety, loyalty and filial piety are always before filial piety, and when loyalty and filial piety can't be combined, priority should be given to loyalty, and from this point of view, it seems that the status of loyalty is even higher than that of filial piety. Regarding loyalty, the Chinese have two opposing views: one is that "a loyal official does not serve two masters, and a strong woman does not serve two husbands"; and the other is that "a good official chooses a tree of integrity, and a wise official chooses a master to serve". The advantage of this is that it can comply with the dialectic, left and right, and provide flexibility; the disadvantage is that it can take what you want, artificial trade-offs, and undermine the principle. As the saying goes, "Ren is the first", so it should be qualified to be selected as a core value. The concept of "righteousness" has a wider scope. In addition to its own connotations, righteousness can also cover aspects such as benevolence, filial piety, loyalty and righteousness, for example, benevolence can be considered as a kind of righteousness called benevolence and righteousness; filial piety is also a kind of righteousness called filial piety and righteousness; loyalty is called loyalty and righteousness; righteousness is the righteousness of a festival; virtue is the righteousness of virtue; and faith is the righteousness of faith and righteousness and so on. The so-called "Confucius emphasizes benevolence, Mencius is still righteousness", righteousness and benevolence are the same as one of the two core concepts of Confucianism, although the status is slightly lower than benevolence, but the influence on the general public of Chinese society is far more than benevolence. Chinese people under the influence of official-oriented thinking, the values of ordinary Chinese people is - promotion and wealth, to please the superiors, maybe when I will promote me. As a result, we have seen many lower-class, penniless and unaffiliated Chinese people desperately trying to join the party, and they don't want to lose any face in order to join the party. The Chinese people have stood up, but there are still people who like to kneel ......
