Out with the old and in with the new

The king does not name the concubines of the ministers, the great officials do not name the nephews and daughters of the ministers, and the scholars do not name the concubines of the family. The son of a lord or a minister dare not call himself "my son"; the son of a minister or a scholar dare not call himself "the heir so-and-so", nor dare to have the same name as the heir. If the lord asks a scholar to shoot and he fails, he should excuse himself on the grounds of illness, saying, "I am worried about carrying firewood." It is not polite to serve a gentleman without looking back.

Zigong asked Confucius, "May I ask why gentlemen value jade and despise enamel? Is it because jade is scarce and enamel is plentiful?" Confucius said, "It is not because enamel is plentiful that they despise it, but because jade is scarce that they value it. In the past, gentlemen compared virtues to jade: warm and moist, it is benevolence; meticulous and fine, it is knowledge; incorruptible but not sharp, it is righteousness; hanging like a string, it is courtesy; knocking, the sound is clear and long, and it bends at the end, it is music; flaws do not cover the beauty, and beauty does not cover the flaws, it is loyalty; trustworthiness is everywhere, it is trustworthiness; aura is like a white rainbow, it is heaven; spirit is seen in mountains and rivers, it is earth; jade is outstanding, it is virtue. What is valued by all in the world is the Tao. The Book of Songs says, 'When I think of a gentleman, he is as warm as jade.' Therefore, gentlemen value it."

"There are three levels of ruling the world, and there are few mistakes! The superior ones, although good, have no evidence, and without evidence, they are not trusted, and without trust, the people will not follow; the inferior ones, although good, are not respected, and without respect, they are not trusted, and without trust, the people will not follow. Therefore, the way of a gentleman: to base it on oneself, to test the common people, to examine the three kings without error, to establish it in heaven and earth without contradiction, to question the ghosts and gods without doubt, and to wait for the saints for a hundred generations. And not confused. To question ghosts and gods without doubt is to know heaven; to wait for a sage for hundreds of generations without doubt is to know people. Therefore, a gentleman acts as the way of the world, acts as the law of the world, and speaks as the rule of the world. If you are far away, you will have hope; if you are close, you will not be tired. The Book of Songs says: "There is no harm there, and there is no shooting here. I hope I can work hard day and night to achieve eternal praise!" There is no gentleman who does not do this, and he will be praised by the world early. "
