Confucius thoughts
Good move starting out with a dictionary definition. You've focused already on an important aspect of virtue: it is an umbrella concept with lots of specific examples. So, in one sense, what you need to do is to explain exactly what all these different virtues have in common! I think it would also be helpful down the road, once you have written more on Confucius, to return to the dictionary definition here and consider if Confucius would agree with it...or maybe imagine how he would explain the components. What exactly would he say is the "standard of right"?

I think the next step is to begin looking at individual analects (look up "virtue" in the index) and try to find a handful that will allow you to begin writing a definition. Focus on the "umbrella" nature of the concept, and also try and find some sayings that allow you to make explicit comparisons with the dictionary definition you've given.

Great start, looking forward to seeing more! -Joey Cross (discuss • contribs) 16:14, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
