君子成人之美，不成人之恶。——孔子(jūn zǐ chéng rén zhī měi, bù chéng rén zhī è — Kǒngzǐ) Translation: “Nobles cultivate others’ blooms, not their weeds.” Explanation: Confucius’ horticultural ethics principle “君子成人之美(jūn zǐ chéng rén zhī měi), 不成人之恶(bù chéng rén zhī è)” (Nobles cultivate others’ blooms, not their weeds) establishes humanity’s earliest positive reinforcement framework. The character 恶(è)—combining 心(xīn, heart) and 亚(yà, inferior)—metaphorizes toxic impulses as invasive species choking ethical growth.

The quadripartite negation system predates Buddhist 正语/正业(zhèng yǔ/zhèng yè) (Right Speech/Action) by three centuries, creating Confucian mindfulness through sensory gatekeeping. The term 礼(lǐ) (ritual propriety) here transcends ceremony—it encodes real-time ethical triage across perceptual channels.
