AMPLIFICATION OF “RAISING THE REPUTATION”
Confucius said: “A true gentleman is always filial to his parents, and
in order to fulfil his duty to them to the fullest extent, he also
serves his August Master with patriotism. He always shows reverence
to his elder brothers, and in order to fulfil his duty to them to the
fullest extent, he does the same towards every one who is older than he.
“As he can maintain order in his family affairs, so he can do the same
in the government. He bases the principle of the government of a State
upon that of a ruling family, and the consequent success will make his
name to be remembered throughout generations to come.”
