Confucius said, "Governing the country by virtue is like Beichen living in his place, and all the stars share it."

Attention:?

Governing the country by virtue: use it as you wish. This sentence means that the ruler should rule the country by virtue, that is, "rule the country by virtue."

Beichen: Polaris.

Location: location, location.

Total: the meaning of the same arch and the same circumference.

Confucius said: "(Zhou Jun) ruling the country by virtue will be like the North Star in a certain place surrounded by many stars."

This passage represents Confucius' thought of "ruling the country by virtue", which means that when a ruler rules the country by virtue, ministers and people will automatically revolve around you. This is a principle that emphasizes the decisive role of morality in political life and advocates moral education as the principle of governing the country.

This is a valuable part of Confucius' theory, which shows that the basic principle of Confucian governance is rule by virtue, not severe punishment and severe law.
