The influence of traditional ethics on today.

I don't know whether you want to make a job or are interested, so I assume you are interested.

For example, in China, the tradition pays attention to the monarch and his subjects, with the father as the child. There is no doubt that such a filial son should be loyal to his son in feudal times. They have their reasons, they have the foundation that they will be like this. But it's not necessary now. All should be a complete past, all feudal remnants, and all should be overthrown. It seems that this is exactly what we did.

Have you ever thought that if we beat these things, our times will become a chaotic situation in which people eat people and cheat people (as if it were true)? There is no need to be so pessimistic. This is just a matter of principle, but it may not be that bad. People today are not necessarily better than the ancients, but they are not necessarily worse than the ancients.

The key lies in: although there are no loyal ministers, there are loyal people, loyal friends, loyal officials and loyalty; Although there is no filial son like before, there are still filial sons and filial piety now. This kind of loyalty and filial piety is the essence of loyal ministers and dutiful sons. Although the fashion of loyalty and filial piety has passed, loyalty and filial piety continue to condense into loyalty and filial piety.

It is still correct to ask loyal ministers to be at the door of the dutiful son's house, because those who used to beat their fathers and scold their mothers could not resist Japan, and they will not do anything beneficial to the people in modern times. This is what Confucianism says, cultivate one's morality and then run the country by the family.

It is this social ethics that keeps China society from collapsing. This is the significance of China's traditional ethics to modern times, and this quality of loyalty is also a universal value recognized by us.
