Modern society is a commodity economy society, so we can't avoid the interest problem. What do you think is the guiding significance of Confucius' "view of justice and benefit" to us modern people?

Today's society, scientific and technological progress and economic development. Everyone is scrambling to get rich, and * * * draws a blueprint for strengthening the country and enriching the people. This is a good thing and should be strongly encouraged and advocated. But if you forget moral integrity, you forget the teachings of your ancestors about the concept of justice and benefit. Everything is for money, and everything is profit first. That will turn a good thing into a bad thing, harm itself and society, and it will be dangerous!

Confucius' "view of justice and benefit" does not completely oppose justice and benefit, but insists that "a gentleman loves money and takes it properly."

For example, Confucius' thought of "getting rich before teaching" in education means that he realizes the importance of material benefits (wealth) to people. He further explained: "wealth is expensive, people want what they want, and they can't get it without it." Poor and mean, people are evil, don't get it by its way, don't go. "

Matters needing attention

We are an ancient civilization with a history of 5,000 years, and we are recognized as a country of etiquette in the world. There are clear moral norms and codes of conduct when dealing with the concept of justice and benefit. For example, Confucius said: "A gentleman is righteous and a villain is beneficial.

It means that a gentleman should first distinguish right from wrong and stand on the moral side when dealing with things; When people treat things, they first value the gains and losses of interests and stand on the side of interests. "Righteousness" refers to morality, including benevolence and righteousness, justice, loyalty and justice.

This is a moral value orientation that transcends material interests. A gentleman "sees the sage Si Qi" and puts righteousness first. And the villain is "forgetting righteousness at the expense of profit" and "seeking profit only". This is the difference between a gentleman and a villain. A gentleman here refers to a learned and cultivated person; A villain is a person with low personality, selfish and narrow-minded.
