The relationship between benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith and five elements

If you insist on linking the five permanent principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith with Jin Mu's five elements of fire, water and soil, try to explain as follows:

Benevolence, benevolence, goodness, fire, earth and water are consistent, fire is fraternity, earth is sympathy, water is goodness, and benevolence is knowing words. From person to person, it means that many people are close to each other, so the original meaning of benevolence is pro-also, similar to wood, lush vegetation. Benevolent people, people also, many people. Therefore, Mu Ren means that there are many people who need care, not kindness. On the contrary, to take care of the public, it is necessary to be resourceful, so the master's wisdom is correct. Kindness and kindness are actually benevolence before love, benevolence before benevolence. Mencius advocated benevolent governance, in fact, taking care of most people.

Water, knowing the advance and retreat, knows the way, so the water ceremony is the most appropriate. The original intention of the ceremony is to serve the gods, perform and act harmoniously, advance and retreat in accordance with the rhythm. Isn't it similar to water? Therefore, water is the main ceremony to show respect. When the guests come, please drink water, so water also has the performance of offering gifts.

Golden doctrine is easy to understand. Righteousness is justice, the golden rule, and justice conquers everything.

It is easy to understand the trust of the landlord. Trust is honesty, because it is sincere and trustworthy, and it is trustworthy because of its thick soil.

Then the rest of the fire, if the Lord is benevolent, is a bit unreasonable. The reason why fire is the main ceremony is that fire knows the truth, and then knows right and wrong and etiquette, but ceremony is more about courtesy and respect, which is just the opposite of the characteristics of fire. Fire is the most suitable, and fire does bring light. This is a sign of love and has nothing to do with etiquette. If it refers to the truth of being a man, it is a bit specious to say that knowing the truth, knowing the benevolence, being quiet and wise, being honest and honest, but this is an idealistic mistake, just for explanation and persistence. Jin Mu's fire, water and earth are five elements, each with its own characteristics. The wood is straight, the Shui Rou is hot, and the soil is thick, so the five permanent members of Confucianism should also conform to the five elements. Naoki is not benevolence, but wisdom. The reality also proves that Woodenhead is the cleverest, the orientals in the world are the cleverest and have the highest IQ, and the water man is really because Shui Rou happens to be the laziest and the blacks in the world are the laziest, which is recognized by the world.

Therefore, the five permanent members mentioned by Confucianism should be correct, that is, loyalty, wisdom and courage, or repetition of benevolence and wisdom, but one is replaced by courage, and today's people lack courage, which is the result of misinformation of enslavement education.

The reason why benevolence is removed is that the meaning of benevolence has changed now, and it is more associated with kindness, pity and sympathy. Compassion tends to spread, while kindness, pity and sympathy always treat the weak. This is actually a mood, not a method, a way of life, and not a policy of managing the family and the world. If Confucianism insists on equality between human nature and the world and arouses people's kindness, then it can only be that fire dominates benevolence. The fire shines on the world, and kindness is full of people's hearts. However, if you tell a fortune because of this, it is not appropriate to judge a person's character.

In fact, water people are the most compassionate, and water people love to fight against injustice. People born and raised in China also have kindness and often lament, but people born and raised in China will only sigh in their hearts, but it will not help. Why do people who are ordered by water love charity and kindness? As the saying goes, the grace of dripping water is unheard of. Water is flowing and loves to rob the rich and help the poor. Most of the water flows to places where there is little water. Although the earth nurtures everything, it is unbiased and treats everyone equally. Even if there is goodwill, it is kept in the heart and does not show it. Therefore, heaven and earth are ruthless, and everything is regarded as a dog. It is not that heaven and earth are really heartless, but that heaven and earth have their own laws and cannot be broken, so they have their objective side. In people's eyes, this is heartless. In fact, heaven and earth are the most merciful.
