He should strive for a scholar who is hard to match his self-respect, so as to cultivate the spirit of a scholar. ——In Song Sushi's "Qi employ Zheng Xia Wang Qi Zhuang", the biography of Feng Dao in the history of Five Dynasties said: "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are the four dimensions of the country; if the four dimensions are not open, the country will perish." Good at managing students! Propriety and righteousness are the great methods of governing people; honesty and shame are the great principles of establishing people's integrity. If you are not honest, you will take everything. If you are not shameful, you will do everything. If people do this, they will suffer from disaster and chaos. If you are a minister and do everything you can, will there be chaos in the world and Immortality in the country? However, among the four, shame is the most important, so the master said: "it's a shame to do one's own thing." Mencius said, "one should not be shameless. Shameless shame, shameless. " He also said, "shame on the people's Congress! It is shameful to be skillful in making changes. " Therefore, people's incorruptibility and their violation of propriety and righteousness are all born of shamelessness. Therefore, the shamelessness of scholar officials is called national shame.
