His moral teachings emphasized self-cultivation(培养), imitation: of moral exemplars, and the attainment of skilled judgment rather than knowledge of rules. His teachings rarely rely on reasoned argument, and moral i

11、deals and methods are conveyed indirectly. His teachings require examination and context to be understood. A good example is found in this famous anecdote:廄焚。子退朝，曰:“傷人乎？”不問馬。When the stables were burnt down, on returning from court Confucius said, “Was anyone hurt? ” He did not ask about the horses.

12、X.11 (tr. Waley), 10-13(tr. Legge), or X-17(tr.

15、on throughout life?”The Master replied: “How about reciprocity! Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself. ”Analects XV.24, tr. David HintonOften overlooked in Confucian morals are the virtues to the self: sincerity and the cultivation of knowledge. Virtuous action towards others

16、 begins with virtuous and sincere thought, which begins with knowledge. A virtuous nature without knowledge is likely to be influenced by corruption, and virtuous action without sincerity is not true righteousness(正义). Cultivating knowledge and sincerity is also important for ones own sake; the supe
