China is a country that advocates etiquette, and modesty, as a traditional social virtue, educates generation after generation.
Not all countries and nations advocate modesty. Why China people advocate the virtue of modesty may be related to the character of China people. China people are reserved, introverted and not shy. They don't care about Wenda's appearance, but pay attention to inner correction, which determines that China people advocate modesty. It is also said that it is the virtue of China people's modesty that develops their reserved and restrained character. No one can tell whether the virtue of modesty is cultivated into an implicit character or whether the implicit character determines the virtue of modesty. It may be that the two interact and depend on each other. So do we want to be a modest person?
First of all, we must recognize the meaning of modesty. What is modesty? Dictionary explanation: modesty, not arrogance. What is modesty? The dictionary explains that modesty has two parts of speech. As an adjective, it expresses modesty and is willing to accept criticism. As a verb, it is an act of expressing modesty, such as modest words. In the past, people in China were very modest, and the words related to modesty were: humility, humility, humility, humility, humility, humility, humility, humility, humility.
Secondly, in the long feudal society, the relationship between the people and the imperial court was subordinate, and the emperor acted for heaven. Modesty is more reflected in obeying the emperor. The monarch's main minister dies, the minister has to die, the father wants his son to die, and the son has to die. More court officials hold the belief that they can't be proud, vertical, happy or satisfied. Many talented people advocate obedience, introversion, non-exposure and non-publicity. They would rather bury themselves than show themselves. Many literati would rather be hermits than soldiers. No wonder Lv Kun emphasized that "gas is full, new taboo is full, so avoid it." The ancients also emphasized that "one's strength is long or short, and the short self-confidence is long." In the natural economic situation, modesty here is more manifested as tolerance, obedience, introversion and reserve.
But modesty does not mean underestimating yourself or overestimating yourself. You should know yourself realistically. We should not give up any opportunity, any struggle, any exploration. Excessive modesty is inferiority complex, and the opposite of modesty is complacency. Correctly grasping modesty means finding a balance between inferiority and complacency, which is neither excessive nor excessive.
Finally, let's be a modest person, and let the traditional culture of "be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, benefit modestly" standardize our words and deeds, improve our self-cultivation, and then carry forward and inherit our traditional virtues and build a civilized and harmonious society.
