China has attached importance to people's virtue and the important role of moral cultivation since ancient times. "Writing as a man" emphasizes the moral quality of literati, which is China's traditional humanistic view. Because words carry thoughts, and thoughts determine a person's quality, as a literati, we must first have morality. To write a good article, you must first be a good person. Without virtue, you can't make a statement. Only with superman's character can there be superman's articles.

Personal character directly determines the quality of the article, because all articles with beautiful artistic conception, comeliness and significance are written word by word by people. Readers should understand the humanistic spirit and connotation expounded in the article, the author's mood, ideological artistic conception and even the way to be a man. In China's ancient writing, thoughts were particularly important, and it was their duty to write with Tao, with Tao and with Tao. Literati, no matter what they write, test and communicate, pursue a realm of "the unity of literature and Taoism", teaching by literature and expressing feelings by literature. "History? Yao Dian once summed up the creative law of "poetry expressing ambition, singing words and singing according to sound". From Confucius and Mencius to Du Fu and Bai Juyi, to Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi, they all emphasized the ideological content of creation and attached importance to the social effect of works. As a writer, he is a practitioner and disseminator of morality. The ancients said: "The heart is based on virtue, showing economic benefits, building is proud, standing as a festival, publicizing as a text, and transporting as a pen ..."

For example, Mencius said, "I am good at cultivating my noble spirit", and Mencius' articles are also generous and broad, which makes people feel a noble spirit between heaven and earth. This is not only achieved by learning to write articles, but also because his sense of social responsibility of upholding justice and fairness is contained in his heart, exposed in his appearance, expressed in his words and articles. His famous saying that "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent" has played an important role in shaping the spiritual character of outstanding intellectuals in China.

For another example, in the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi put forward that "articles should be written for the time, and poems should be written for things", arguing that articles must shoulder the historical mission of "making up for the time" in order to achieve the goal of "relieving people's diseases, benefiting people and making listeners take warning". His writing is concise, natural and fluent. His representative works include Charcoal Man, Du Lingcuo and Red Carpet. In "Send Tang Sheng", he wrote that "only songs can make people sick, and I hope the son of heaven knows", which embodies pleading for the people, exposing social abuses and shouting for justice. He is not only a writer, but also an honest official who dares to speak out, loves the people and is honest and self-disciplined. In the harsh environment, the maverick noble image stands in people's hearts. It is said that every time he writes a poem, he must read it to the old woman, and the old man will rewrite it if he doesn't understand it, so his poems can be understood by even illiterate old people and children and passed down as literary stories.

In the Song Dynasty, Lu You said that "if you want to learn poetry, you must do external work" and that the unremitting pursuit of truth should be the eternal theme of life and literature. Only by caring for the people, living up to the mission and being virtuous can we write an infectious article. Throughout his life, he encouraged himself with the character of plum blossom, saying, "The more awe-inspiring the name of snow and wind, the stronger the integrity between flowers." "Do you know that it was covered with snow and ice?" The famous writers who have been handed down through the ages in history are almost all people with plum-like personality. From Gui Xi Ci, people read Tao Yuanming's ethical view of "not bending over for five buckets of rice"; Yue Fei's meaning of "waiting for the beginning, cleaning up the old mountains and rivers" from "Man Jiang Hong"; Fan Zhongyan's mind of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" is read from the story of Yueyang Tower. Their articles have been passed down to this day, and they all express the language image of high morals and integrity. The lofty literary status and noble personality complement each other, and lofty belief is the key to their success. For people with bad character or who suffer a lot, their words are also influenced by their character, and they die with others and disappear.

China traditional culture measures everything by moral standards, and guides people to face the principled issues of "good" and "evil", "right" and "evil" with a correct view of right and wrong. As the conscience of society, intellectuals have a tradition of pursuing truth and advocating morality for thousands of years. They are highly respected by people for their strong sense of social responsibility and courage to defend morality and truth. They let people learn a lot about being a man and doing things, pursue brightness and beauty, and operate morality as the criterion of people's life and survival.
