Question

paragraph on tradition of respectin teachers

Answer 1

Respecting teachers and cherishing virtues are part of the traditional ethics practiced by the Chinese people. Teachers, who impart morality, knowledge, and values, teach people the proper ways to interact with each other and with society at large. They exemplify virtue.

The Classic of Rites was one of the Chinese Five Classics of the Confucian canon. It was stated in Record on Education, one of the 49 chapters in The Classic of Rites:

“Upon securing the proper reverence for the master, the virtue he embodies is regarded as honored. When that is done, the people know how to respect learning.”
