"Reading"

The hexagrams devoted to humble the moral quality.It is not hard to see, to discuss is the premise of established: humility is a virtue, and identity, status, educated gentleman must have.Starting from this premise, from different angles to further deepen the connotation of modesty, relate it with other qualities.Traditionally focus on moral and ethical problem seems to be as a patent of Confucian philosophy, from which we can further understand the zhouyi as the inner cause of Confucian classics.To be blunt, modest as one of the most respected virtue, is one of human behavior criterion.It is the basic requirement of only high and not self sustaining, high heart but not arrogant, high and don't pretend to work, a high and don't boast.Once this criterion into action, it should be said that there are quite a difficult.It needs to eat the grain of the living, resist the temptation of all kinds of desires and corrosion manners cautious, "timid, are treading on thin ice," ke-ji-fu-li.From another point of view, because of difficult to achieve, just has a great attraction, to Rangoon creeper standout, distinguished, let a person down, admiration adoring.This is probably one of "inside the saint outside the king".

I hope we all like a real gentleman modesty.
