From "The Analects of Confucius·Eight Yi" by Confucius during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period.

Extended information: "The Analects of Confucius" is one of the classic works of the Confucian school. It is a collection of quotation-style prose that mainly records words and dialogues. It mainly records the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples in the form of quotations and dialogue styles, and embodies Confucius's

political, aesthetic, moral ethics and utilitarian values.

The content of "The Analects of Confucius" covers many aspects such as politics, education, literature, philosophy, and principles of conduct in life.

As early as the period when Confucius set up a lecture forum in the late Spring and Autumn Period, its main content had been initially created.

After Confucius died, his disciples and re-disciples passed down his words from generation to generation, and gradually recorded these oral quotations and deeds, so it is called "The Analects"; "The Analects" mainly records the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, so

It's called "language".

The thought of "The Analects of Confucius" mainly has three categories that are both independent and closely interdependent: the ethical and moral category - benevolence, the social and political category - propriety, and the cognitive methodology category - Doctrine of the Mean.

Benevolence, first of all, is a true state deep in the human heart. The ultimate compromise must be goodness. This overall state of truth and goodness is "benevolence."

Confucius established the category of benevolence, and then elaborated rites as a reasonable social relationship and norms for dealing with others that are adapted to and expresses benevolence, and then clarified the systematic methodological principle of "golden mean".

"Benevolence" is the ideological core of "The Analects of Confucius".
