What is five-LUN?

Five ethics refers to five kinds of human relations: monarch and minister, father and son, brother, couple and friend.

Five relations refer to the five relations and the code of words and deeds in ancient China, that is, the so-called five relations between monarch and minister, father and son, brother, husband and wife and friends. Take loyalty, filial piety, filial piety, forbearance and kindness as the "five ethics" relationship criteria.

Mencius believed that the way of courtesy and righteousness between monarch and minister should be loyalty; There is a pecking order between father and son, so we should be filial; Brothers are flesh and blood relatives and should be jealous; Husband and wife love each other but are different inside and outside, so be tolerant; Friends have the virtue of honesty, so they should be good; This is the principle and code of conduct for dealing with ethical relations between people.

The significance of five ethics

From the day we were born, from babies to children, from children to adults, we were born in this world consciously or unconsciously. Knowing who are parents, brothers, friends, couples and children is equivalent to the relationship between these people, and we have understood who we are. Such a close and respectful human relationship seems to be known inadvertently.

China people are like this, and so are foreigners. East and west have a general understanding of the human world, which is precisely the essence of the rules of human relations. If the interpersonal relationship is disordered, it is called incest. Therefore, this kind of irregular behavior is not allowed in the civilized world, and it is also prohibited by the moral and legal system. This taboo is five ethics.
