In
the teaching of Li, Confucius emphasized the value of the cultural heritage
of society and the accepted rules of proper conduct. But he was aware
of the evils that might result from the over-emphasis on Li; formalism,
hypocrisy, or arbitrariness. Morality would become an external thing;
to abide by customary regulations or accepted rules only would regarded
as moral, and the beach of them would be regarded as sinful. In order
to safeguard one against such dangers, on the one hand, Confucius emphasized
the value of love such dangers, on the other hand, gave new interpretations
on Li by putting the ineividulal motive, especially sincerity and reverence,
as the foundation of Li.
