Having lived in a war-torn society and concerned with improving government and society, respectively, according to Confucius writings, sincerity, a willingness to learn, minimal desire for material things, and loyalty were considered to be virtuous. Other important factors in being virtuous included self cultivation, filial piety, extensive knowledge of ritual and poetry, humility, and a good grasp on how to conduct oneself when dealing with other people. In Confucian philosophy, ritual was crucial to being a gentleman and running a good government.
What is being a "gentleman"? In "gentleman", Confucius seems to have meant a person who is virtuous and well educated in ritual. Self cultivation, ritual and education linkage. Self cultivation involved not only self education, but also attaining and emulating good traits in others (4:17, Analects). To Confucius, the emulation of successful people was a very important aspect of good government; thus, his emphasis on the learning from history.
1) 4:15, Analects
Never do anything to anyone else that you wouldn't want them to do to you. This, like most principles of virtue, applies to both everyday life and government.
2) 1:7, 1:8 & 1: 13, Analects
Be humble, obedient, trustworthy, and loyal. Maintain high standards in those with whom you associate, serve and/or emulate
3) 1:12 & 12:1, Analects
Ritual must regulate all your conduct
To ask a question about Hoe Hoe opinion about Confucius is like asking a dog its opinion of its master. Hoe Hoe is and will always be a total failure -
1) Hoe Hoe never attained anything above a junior high school education at best
2) Hoe Hoe early aspirations were to betray his country by working for and with the French colonialists. Hoe Hoe actually sold out Phan Boi Chau's whereabouts to the French authorities for $10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Phan Boi Chau was an independent fighter against the French.
3) Hoe Hoe worked for the Soviet Union after receiving training and with salary and rank during the 1910's while in France
4) Using the pen name Tran Dan Tien to write a book to idolize himself after already achieving notoriety
5) The continuing historical "Confucianization" of Vietnam into a miniature China continues. Not learning anything from a 1000 years of Chinese enslavement, Hoe Hoe profound dim wittedness, stupidity and willingness to institutionalize VN into China's cu li goes unabated
6) No other proof of Hoe Hoe profound failure and stupidity speak like current day CSVN total and abject abandonment of communism's principles and the full implementation of capitalistic's ideals, principles and practices.
7) And until the time that VN stop this "Confucianization" and freely stand on its own feet without prejudice and trepidation of its own people, CSVN actually and truely stands for CONTEMPTUOUS SUCKING vn NIGGER
8) Certainly true, for every Hoe Hoe there is a Hoe. Hoe Hoe Hoe
