The Development of the Thought of"Loyalty and Forgiveness"in Xin Shi Xun and Its Modern Significance
As the core of Confucianism,"benevolence"is always the main line running through Confucian culture.The thought of"loyalty and forgiveness"of"the way of benevolence"originated from Zeng Zi's understanding of Confucius'"consistent"way.As an important work in Feng Youlan's"Thought of Six Books of Zhen and Yuan",Xin Shi Xun(New Treatise on the Way of Life)points out how to trivialize the personality of sages.In the article Xing Zhong Shu(Doing the principle of loyalty and forgiveness),on the basis of inheriting Confucianism,it points out the meaning of"loyalty and forgiveness":do your best to be loyal to others,and do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.Different from traditional Confucian scholars,Feng Youlan made a rational analysis of Confucian thought of"loyalty and forgiveness",affirmed the sociality of human beings,pointed out that no matter what realm people can use"loyalty and forgiveness"as a way to seek life,and use"loyalty and forgiveness"as a way to practice morality and a common way to treat others.Even for the construction of today's socialist moral system,it still has important practical significance.
