Translated loosely, Confucius said to his disciple Zeng Shen, "I have done many things throughout my life. However, the fundamental principle has remained consistent throughout, and it is the same." Zeng Shen explained to his disciples, "The one Way that the Master said is to be penetrated with is loyalty and reciprocity (chūjo), which means consideration for others that comes from the heart."
