Those who love going out love to return, and those who have gone have good fortune come from "New Book" by Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty.
“Those who love go out love to return, and those who love go out love to come back.” is one of people’s favorite philanthropic mottos. Calligraphers like to write it, writers like to recite it, philosophers like to interpret it, and philanthropists like to use it to spur themselves and advise the world.
The reason why people like this sentence is that it reveals a seemingly simple but actually profound truth, that is, those who give love to others will eventually receive the love of others for themselves and give to others. Those who bring blessings to others will also bring blessings to themselves.
Introduction
"New Book" is a collection of Jia Yi's writings, compiled and edited by Liu Xiang in the late Western Han Dynasty. Jia Yi summarized the Qin Dynasty's "violation of etiquette and abandonment of ethics", resulting in social disorder and corrupt morals, and emphasized the importance of governing the country with etiquette. The belief that etiquette can be said to be the criterion for all social systems and behavioral norms is an inheritance of Xunzi’s etiquette thought.
The essence of etiquette is to differentiate between high and low, to distinguish superiority from inferiority, to make the hierarchy clear between superiors and inferiors, and to observe ethics and discipline. In this way, "chaos will not arise." The purpose of education is to establish a good social atmosphere that is in line with the interests of the ruling class, that is, "to change customs and change the world's hearts and minds toward the Tao." This is the fundamental plan for long-term peace and stability.
