What does the P5 mean?

The five permanent members refer to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faithfulness, and refer to the five basic qualities and virtues that "man" should possess as an independent individual in society for his own development and social progress.

1 and "benevolence" are not only the most basic and highest moral standards, but also the most common moral standards. The ancient humanistic feelings with benevolence as the core can be transformed into modern humanistic spirit through modern transformation.

2. The combination of righteousness and benevolence is the representative of morality: "forbearance and forbearance". Righteousness has become a kind of outlook on life and values, such as "duty-bound", "being brave", "righteous words" and "righteous words" and so on. Righteousness is the responsibility and dedication of life, such as free clinic, charity performance, charity sale and obligation. This is still a manifestation of China people's lofty morality.

3. Courtesy and benevolence are both exterior and interior, benevolence is the inner spirit of propriety, and paying attention to propriety is an important traditional virtue of "the state of etiquette". "Li Ming" in a broad sense means talking about civilization; In a narrow sense, as a manifestation of treating people and things, it is called "ceremony" and "etiquette"; As a kind of cultivation, it is called "politeness"; Used to deal with the relationship with others, it is called "comity".

4. Wisdom can extend from moral wisdom to scientific wisdom, and the scientific spirit and humanistic spirit should be combined and unified, which we still want to carry forward today.

Faith is what people say, which means that people are responsible for what they say. This is the foundation of being a man and the way to achieve your career and manage the world. Keeping promises and keeping promises are the recognized value standards and basic virtues of the Chinese nation.

Extended data:

The political thoughts of Confucianism are benevolent politics, kingship and ritual system, and the ideals are great harmony and great unity. Its political science mainly expounds the relationship between monarch and minister and the relationship between officials and people. Confucius said "the courtesy of the monarch is loyal to the monarch", Mencius said that "the people are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the least important", and Xunzi said that "it is a representative proposition of Confucian political science to go against the monarch, shun Yi and his father."

On practical political issues, Confucianism requires both the ruler and the ruled to assume obligations. Theoretically speaking, the ruled has the right to resist the ruler who is not normally obligated. "Good governance" advocates distinguishing between "can't" and "don't do", that is, the difference between "can't" and "don't do". And its "no constant production, no perseverance" also embodies the people-oriented thought.

In international politics, Confucianism advocates "the distinction between Chinese and foreigners." In ancient times, the distinction between China people and foreigners promoted the spread of advanced culture in the Central Plains, but in modern times it became an obstacle to China's modernization.
