A chivalrous person should first judge the righteous by looking at his character, then judge the outstanding by studying martial arts, and judge the honest by observing the heart and soul. If all of them are combined, he can be called a chivalrous person. As for serving the country and the people, or being friends and neighbors, in my opinion, these are not enough to be judged as chivalrous. After all, their purpose is righteousness, excellence, and chastity.
For the country and the people, this is the responsibility of the court officials. Those who help the court mostly fulfill the responsibilities of common men in the country. This can be called chastity for the country and righteousness for the common people. For friends and neighbors, helping people who are not compatriots can definitely be called righteousness. A chivalrous man who travels around in the rivers and lakes may seem carefree, but in fact he is famous all over the world. This is all about striving for excellence.
Even so, there are not a few people from the world who rush to the court. However, the traitors and sycophants are fighting against each other internally, and the enemies of the Jianghu are waiting for opportunities outside. Although there are loyal ministers and good generals to protect the internal affairs, and the chivalrous friends are helping the foreign ministers, it is not easy to stay in the court.
We all know that many people in the world long for Jianghu, but Jianghu is not what the world knows. Many of them are out of control rather than free and unrestrained..
