Cheng Yi talked about the difference between a gentleman and a villain

"What is a gentleman?" What is a villain? The gentleman sees the big, and the little man sees the small and close. Whoever is concerned by the will of a gentleman is not alone? Directly consider the world for thousands of lifetimes. The worries of the villain, the wrath of the dynasty, have been (increased) not to mention their bodies. ——" Ercheng Ji , Henan Cheng's Testament "

In Cheng Yi's view, what is the difference between a gentleman and a villain? That is, the gentleman pays attention to the big things, and the little people value the small things in front of them. The ambition and goal of a gentleman is not only the things around him, but also the major events that consider the country under the world and even the generations. The villain only thinks about the problem of one day and one day, and does not care about the problem of his own survival.

In short, the difference between a gentleman and a villain is still the word "righteousness". A gentleman cultivates his self-cultivation, acts benevolently and righteously, and pays attention to the major affairs of his home and the world. Villains are only preoccupied with their own interests. Therefore, when we are dealing with the world, we should try our best to be ambitious, have a high ideological realm, cultivate more self-cultivation, act benevolently and righteously, and be a gentleman!
