China Confucian ethics category, 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. The earliest association between loyalty and forgiveness was Ceng Zi in the Spring and Autumn Period of China. Explaining Confucius' "My way is consistent", he said: "The way of the master is only loyalty and 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.

The "universal love" advocated by Mohism is to cancel these natural arithmetic, so it is an abstract principle and cannot be implemented. The paranoia about human body differences will lead to extreme individualism-"for me". Confucianism believes that both will cause people's immoral state.
Since everyone has differences, it is natural to be paranoid about these differences when feeling things. This kind of paranoia is called "shielding" by Confucianism, and paranoia cannot be communicated.
For example, in Years of Burning Passion, Shi Guangrong's son wants to go to college, but his father forces his son to join the army. It is really "doing what he wants to do to others". Although he is kind, he shows self-centered paranoia, which obliterates the differences between people and me, resulting in the inability of the two sides to communicate normally for more than ten years.
Confucianism pursues benevolence by loyalty and forgiveness, which should not only maintain the natural differences in human relations physics, but also eliminate the paranoia about this difference. This kind of love is a communication that includes individual differences, and what it achieves is a concrete virtue.
Confucianism says "be an adult", "be honest" and "do your best". Here, "success" and "do your best" all mean realization. The way to realize personal value is not to impose "self" on people and things, but to conform to the nature of people and things.
