How important is the education of sages?

Sage education, in traditional culture refers mostly to the way of Confucius and Mencius, but how many people really understand the learning of Confucius and Mencius?

Since the Republic of China, it was once destroyed, forgotten, and discredited.

However, when there is no sage teaching, a variety of things that touch the moral and ethical bottom line is common, corruption in the socialist countries also still exist, it can be seen, the feudal society backward is not the way of Confucius and Mencius, but the system. There is a good system, coupled with the constraints of the way of life, people's selfishness and all sorts of ugly to not be exposed, good words can also break the evil and good.

Some people say it's a big deal, right? Everything is not preventive, must wait until the country is a big mess before regretting it? Look at those disgusting things on the network now, look at the absurdity of the students in the university, look at the modern young people's outlook on life, values, will be able to feel the future of the country and the nation how.

Don't misunderstand the traditional culture, many people put the meaning of the wrong interpretation of it, to give an example, for everyone to cite an example :

The amount of small non-gentleman, Baidu input method automatically gives the second half of the sentence (no poison is not a husband), the first half of the sentence is good to understand, but also the right, the gentleman is generous, but how to be a man of the heart to be cruel and ruthless? In fact, the second half of the sentence is also echoing the first half of the sentence, it should be? (No degree is not a husband).

Further, people are not for themselves heaven and earth, the vast majority of people think is that people have to be selfish, or else they will die without burial, selfishness is heaven and earth.? People who have learned the national education understand, should be understood as (a qualified person, to "have for" to do their own thing, should not be done to the detriment of others can not do, otherwise it will be heaven and earth is incompatible with the fact that, in fact, detrimental to their own, others do not agree ah.)

It can be seen that a person, without the guidance of the sage, that will be lost, a nation, without good leadership, the same will not have a future.
