Idiom implication
Pushing yourself and others is a moral psychology-behavior mechanism and training method. It refers to the idea that moral actors infer that others have the same feelings and needs as themselves, and carry out inference as a code of conduct in actions related to others. In the process of moral cultivation, consciously using the method of putting yourself in the shoes can make people put themselves in the shoes.
In terms of moral cultivation, Mencius inherited and developed Confucius' thought of upward behavior and downward effect, closely linked moral cultivation with governing the country and safeguarding the country, emphasized upward behavior and downward effect, reflected on himself, and was strict and tolerant. When dealing with all kinds of interpersonal relationships, most of them need an attitude of "doing the opposite" to handle them well.
