Read the Tian family ancestral instructions: Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Trustworthiness. Great loyalty and great love constitute benevolence; great filial piety and great courage constitute righteousness. Cultivating oneself, aligning one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world constitute propriety. Great kindness and great anger constitute wisdom, and fairness and reasonableness constitute trustworthiness. The unification of the world constitutes benevolence; the rise and fall of the nation constitute righteousness; self-strengthening without ceasing constitutes propriety. Winning through loss constitutes wisdom, and obtaining profit through righteousness constitutes trustworthiness. Universal harmony constitutes benevolence; the mountains and rivers of our motherland constitute righteousness; the family, state, and world constitute propriety. The balance of strength and flexibility constitutes wisdom, and a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold constitutes trustworthiness. Love, loyalty, righteousness, harmony, sagacity, and integrity.
