Loyalty and Forgiveness in The Analects of Confucius
Definition:

The category of Confucian ethics in China is the principle of dealing with the relationship between people. "Loyalty", striving for others, is in people's hearts, so it is loyalty; "Forgiveness", putting yourself in others' shoes, is like a person's heart, so it is forgiveness. . "Loyalty and forgiveness" means dealing with a man as he deals with you. Confucius' disciples regard loyalty and forgiveness as the core content of Confucius' theory, which is the concrete application of "benevolence" Loyalty and forgiveness have become one of the basic principles of Confucianism in dealing with interpersonal relationships.

Features:

The characteristic of loyalty and forgiveness is what people often say: put yourself in others' shoes. The so-called heart is full of meat. If you want to do this yourself, you should also think that others want to do the same. I don't want this, but I also want to think that others don't want this.

Specific examples:

1 Today, we held an exhibition "Activities with Others in Mind" among primary and secondary school students. In a sense, it is the way of loyalty and forgiveness. By extension, isn't the so-called "making the world full of love" the embodiment of the principle of loyalty and forgiveness?

In the cold war atmosphere of 1950s, the leaders of the governments of China, India and Myanmar put forward five basic principles of "peaceful coexistence", namely, "mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence". These five principles were first advocated by Zhou Enlai, then Prime Minister of China, which contained the basic moral concepts of "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" and "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you". In fact, this is also a representative example of Confucian loyalty and anger.
