Review of the Superior Man in Confucianism
- “The gentleman, according to Confucius is simply a man of virtue. Confucius’s teachings explained the characteristics of a gentleman as a superior man, a man at his best, and a portrayer of authentic manhood. Meaning is added to the relationship between human beings referred to as Jen [human heartedness, goodness] by Confucius by incorporating the idealness of the terms of human relationships (Chun-Tzu, Junzi) [A Chun-Tzu, also spelled Junzi, is an ideal man in society]. Confucius states that there are five major characteristics that make up a true gentleman which are humility, sincerity, graciousness, magnanimity, and diligence” (Singleton, Andy).
