There is a discussion about the character of a gentleman in The Analects of Confucius: "A gentleman is not strong if he is not heavy, and his learning is not solid. Lord is faithful. A man without friends is worse than himself. Don't change it after it. " "The gentleman is also in the world, without comfort, without Mo Ye, but with the ratio of righteousness." "A gentleman is figurative, and a villain is figurative." "The gentleman is harmonious but different, and the villain is not harmonious."
