Is The Analects of Confucius an ancient poem?

The Analects of Confucius is not an ancient poem, but a quotation that records the remarks of Confucius and his disciples.

A gentleman is kind-loyalty and forgiveness.

How to implement the principle of benevolence? This is a question repeatedly discussed by Confucius and his disciples. Confucius said, "My Tao is consistent." What is the "Tao" that runs through Confucius' theory? Student Zeng Shen's understanding is, "Master's way is loyalty and forgiveness." Although this can't cover all Confucius' thoughts with "benevolence" as the core, it captures the key point of moral practice of "being benevolent".
