Transcript: Chow Yun fat an excellent actor from Hong Kong Confucius Confucius said: "It is my fault not the farmer's. I should not let you do this. You are a knowledgeable scholar, while he is a badly educated farmer. You two speak different languages. Using reasons that the listener can not understand to persuade him is like feeding wide beasts with precious sacrifice, playing elegant music for flying birds." So Confucius had his stableman go to the farmer's place again. The stableman said to the farmer: "Your farm in the east, and I live in the west. We don't know each other, but our crop looks the same. How can the horse know the crop is yours or mine?" The farmer was fully convinced and happily returned Confucius's horse. One day, Confucius went out for a tour. While he were having a rest, his horse run away and ate a farmer's crop in the field. The angry farmer caught the horse and locked it in his yard. After knowing what happened, Confucius asked Zi Gong to retrieve his horse. Li, correct behavior, or propriety, good manners, politeness, ceremony, worship. Do you know his character? Yi, of honesty and uprightness reciprocity, altruism, consideration for others, and Confucius’ early version of the Golden Rule, “what you don't want yourself, don't do to others." Walking to the farmer's house, Zi Gong very politely asked him to return his teacher's horse. But to his surprise, the man had no response but a word "no". Disappointedly, he went back to Confucius and began to complain of the farmer's rudeness. Confucius’ Five Virtues “To be able under all circumstances to practice five things constitutes perfect virtue; these five things are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.” Confucius taught five virtues a gentleman should practice every day to live a healthy, harmonious life: Confucius traveled around the countries to publicize the Confucianism. A well-known diplomatist These are just some little parts of Confucius. Thank you~ Confucius, a Chinese thinker and social philosopher doing one's best, conscientiousness, loyalty Ren is the virtue of benevolence, charity, and humanity; This enormous influence persisted until the nineteenth century, when the impact of the West created revolutionary changes in China. Then, in the twentieth century, the Communist Party seized power in China. It was their belief that, in order both to modernize China and to eliminate economic injustice, it was necessary to make radical changes in society. As the ideas of Confucius were highly conservative, the Communists made a major effort to eradicate his influence, the first such effort since Shih Huang Ti, 22 centuries earlier.

Every "being" has its own "Way" or nature, which it follows. Teh=the ability to follow one's own nature reverence for ancient rituals, ancestry, and authority: Book 1 #11 "The Master said, "Observe what a man has in mind to do when his father is living, and then observe what he does when his gather is dead. If, for 3 years, he makes no changes to his father's ways, he can be said to be a good son." (Lawall 823) leading by virtue: Book 2 #19 "...Confucius answered, "Raise the straight and set them over the crooked and the common people will look up to you. Raise the crooked and set them over the straight and the common people will not look up to you." (Lawall 823) performing to the best of one's ability in all circumstances-following one's nature, or Tao: Book 6 #12 "Jan Chiu said, 'It is not that I am not pleased with your way, but rather that my strength gives out.' The Master said, ' A man whose strength guves out collapses along the course. In your case you set the limits beforehand.' " (Lawall 824) wisdom: Book 6 #22 "Fan Ch'ih asked about wisdom. The Master said, 'To work for the things the common people have a right to and to keep one's distance from the gods and spirits while showing them reverence can be called wisdom...' " (Lawall 824-825) Distinction The Analects' are unique from other world literature we have read thus far in class "Wisdom comes in fractions and fragments; the burden of full understanding is placed on the reader" (Lawall 821) 3.9 "The Master said to Tzu-kung, 'Who is the better man, you or Hui?' 'How dare I compare myself with Hui? When he is told one thing, he understands. When I am told one thing I understand only two...' " (Lawall 824) ideological system Political -If a country wants to flourish the first thing is not to make laws for the public but to enhance the king's morality "guide them by edicts, keep them in line with punishments and the common people will stay out of trouble but will have no sense of shame. Guide the by virtue, keep them in line with the rites, and they will, besides having a sense of shame, reform themselves" Economic -When we face an advantage/profit, the first thing people have to consider is our morality The Master said, "Riches and honors are what men desire. If they cannot be obtained in the proper way, they should not be held. Poverty and meanness are what men dislike. If they cannot be avoided in the proper way, they should not be avoided. "If a superior man abandon virtue, how can he fulfill the requirements of that name? "The superior man does not, even for the space of a single meal, act contrary to virtue. In moments of haste, he cleaves to it. In seasons of danger, he cleaves to it." Aesthetic To use literature and art as a political method for changing society. chi tsze-ch'ang said, "in a superior man it is only the substantial qualities which are wanted;-why should we seek for ornamental accomplishments?" tsze-kung said, "alas! your words, sir, show you to be a superior man, but four horses cannot overtake the tongue. ornament is as substance; substance is as ornament. the hide of a tiger or a leopard stripped of its hair, is like the hide of a dog or a goat stripped of its hair." Education -Relate all the things they learned together -people can be affected by others, -If we want to live in a better world we have to change ourselves first. The Master said, "When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers. I will select their good qualities and follow them, their bad qualities and avoid them." Suppression of Confucianism Analects did not preach Mandate of Heaven. "Tsze-kung said, 'The Master's personal displays of his principles and ordinary descriptions of them may be heard. His discourses about man's nature, and the way of Heaven, cannot be heard.' Analects 5.13. "The Master said, "To work for the things the common people have a right to and to keep one's distancefrom the gods and spirits while showing them reverence can be called wisdom. ' " (Lawall 824-825) Rulers should be virtuous. "The Master said, 'The rule of virtue can be compared to the Pole Star which commands the homage of the multitude of stars without leaving its place.' " 2.1 (Lawall 823) Otherwise, the people have right to rebel, as granted by Heaven. " '...when there is no trust, the commom people will have nothing to stand on.'

Transcript: The Importance of Character Memorize The Preamble The 5 Basic Human Relationships •Education is the means by which the individual learns that Li will require in a particular situation •Li is the way in which character is manifested •Cultivation of character itself is a significant component of education •They seek to develop what are called the “Five constant virtues” - Right attitude, right procedure, right knowledge, right moral courage, and right persistence •Put all together the practice of these virtues would lead to a new society based on justice and wisdom -Confucius The Five Basic Human Relationships 1. Ruler and subject: Benevolence in rulers, loyalty in ministers and subjects 2. Father and son: Kindness in the father, filial piety in the son 3. Husband and wife: Righteous behavior in the husband, obedience in the wife 4. Oldest son and younger brothers: Gentility in the oldest son, humility and respect in the younger siblings 5. Elders and juniors (friends): Humane consideration in elders, deference in juniors. •Confucius advocated a conception of the good man (chun-tzu) that emphasized the twin qualities of benevolence (ren) and propriety (Li). •The notion of Li is a very important in understanding Confucian thought •Li is not so much character as the means by which character is manifested •Li entailed both a knowledge of traditional practice and behavior, and a sensitivity that would allow their modification as required by contemporary circumstances •Li is like a balance wheel of conduct The Emphasis of the Family System * Each of the 5 basic human relationships are hierarchical. * Each member of the family is individually tied and obligated to the other in keeping with his or her station "Confucianism thus built a new moral interpretation of the world upon the oldest and soundest foundation, the family system. It could be fitted to the political system, thus ensuring that monarchy, as an apotheosis of paternalism, would be the only conceivable form of government. The government must, however, be restrained and guided by ethical teaching and exercised in conformity with high moral principles."
