Chapter 1 In the eastern rural society, the most important thing is "self-denial"-this is the starting point of the moral system. Morality and law in rural society are stretched to some extent according to the relationship between individuals. Filial piety, filial piety, loyalty and faithfulness are all moral elements in interpersonal relationships.

The second chapter is the lack of "group" in rural society, so it is difficult to produce "group" morality. Because the group transcends the existence of individuals, there is no "superman" morality in rural society.
