"How to be respectful, tolerant, trustworthy, sensitive and beneficial?" he asked Confucius explained: "a heart without presumptuousness is called Gong; a heart without strictness is called Kuan; a heart without fraud is called Xin; a heart without indolence is called min; a heart without harshness is called Hui. If a person does not have benevolence, he cannot be called a person. If a person undertakes the task of "benevolence", he should go forward bravely and not be modest. Even if the teacher is in front of him, you don't have to be humble with him. " In the part of ancient Chinese prose, Zhang asked Confucius about benevolence, and Confucius said, "those who can do five things in the world are benevolent." Excuse me.
