Jen - includes the sense of dignity we should give to ALL living things, especially other humans.
Li - is considered the principle of gain, such as why people will actively
seek out personal relationships and what people gain from society as a
whole. The idea is to consider what does each person, individually and
as a group, gain when they interact with one another.
Yi - the
moral obligation to do good. This includes the ability to know and
recognize what is right and wrong, and the ability to feel what is right
and wrong.
Hsiao - parents should be revered,
respected and honored since they created the being in question. Bringing
honor to the family and revering someone who has brought honor to you.
Chih - moral wisdom and knowledge of things right and wrong.
Te - the morals of authority. For example, the government has authority if it can maintain economic and social order.
Thanks ideapod.
PS - I worry a little about Te, but this is about Confucianism, not me.
