The meaning of Idioms

It reflects Confucius' anti war thought. He does not advocate solving international and domestic problems by military means, but hopes to solve problems by courtesy, righteousness, benevolence and happiness, which is the consistent thought of Confucius. In addition, in this chapter, Confucius also put forward that "we should not suffer from poverty, but from inequality.". Zhu Xi's explanation of this sentence is: "all means that each gets its share; an means that the upper and the lower are in peace." This kind of thought has a great influence on future generations, and even becomes people's social psychology. As far as today is concerned, this kind of thought has a negative side, but it still has the side of adapting to the modern society. In fact, the stability of modern society also depends on a certain balance. If the gap between the rich and the poor is too wide, the society may fall apart. And "not suffering from poverty but suffering from inequality" is also in line with the socialist idea of fairness and justice. it should be pointed out that "Jun" here is not a simple average, but each gets his own share under a fair distribution system. A simple understanding of "all" as average will certainly lead to negative effects.
