If you do things seriously and conform to justice, you will achieve something, so a gentleman with this kind of morality will gain the trust and support of everyone and will not be isolated.

The original text is from the Book of Changes, which is one of the important traditional classics. According to legend, it was written by Zhou people, including the Book of Changes and Biography. Classics are mainly composed of 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, each of which has its own interpretation (hexagrams) for divination. It contains seven languages * * * and ten quatrains explaining hexagrams, which are collectively called Ten Wings. It is said that it was written by Confucius. However, it is generally considered to be a Confucian work in the Warring States or Qin and Han Dynasties, and it was not written by one person. Zhouyi is the theoretical source of natural philosophy and humanistic practice in China's traditional ideology and culture, the crystallization of China's ancient thoughts and wisdom, and is known as the "source of Tao", the outstanding representative of China's traditional culture and the source of Chinese civilization. The Book of Changes contains rich knowledge, such as astronomy, geography, military, science, literature, agriculture and so on. For thousands of years, it has had a far-reaching impact on China's politics, economy, culture and other fields. It is the first book to teach the classics of the Book of Changes, Poems, Books, Rites, Music and Spring and Autumn Annals, and enjoys a high position in the cultural history of China.

Zhouyi is China's earliest philosophical work, which occupies an important position in the history of ancient China thought. It not only had a great influence on hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, but also was studied by all accomplished scholars in feudal society. However, who is the author of Zhouyi, a magnificent masterpiece? This is a difficult problem that people have debated for thousands of years.

According to the three sages of Zhouyi, The Book of Changes and Classic Biography were written by Fuxi, Wang Wen and Duke Zhou (or Confucius).
