First of all, whether this is what Hu Shi said remains to be discussed. There is no record in the books introducing Hu Shi, such as Forty Books, and the subject can read related books by himself.
Besides, this sentence itself makes no sense.
Let's talk about the second half. In the latter case, it is easy to think that morality is useless or even harmful. In fact, many people confuse "morality" with "pseudo-morality" and think that suppressing others with public opinion is the consequence of morality. Wrong, morality is self-discipline, not law. As for moral kidnapping, it is even more pseudo-moral, because it is immoral in essence for the person who issued this order to make others obey themselves unconditionally by ignoring the interests of others. Suppressing others with a moral stick is false morality, not true morality. I'm afraid many people can't even tell true morality from false morality. ...
As for if everyone only talks about morality, truly moral people will not do bad things after all, but most people's moral level is not that high. Moreover, talking about morality does not mean keeping morality, just saying hello. Those people with average moral level will improve their sense of superiority by saying hello, so they will pretend to be "moral princes" and behave more and more disorderly. In addition, morality can't punish people who do evil, so a bad-hearted maggot will have no bottom line without hard constraints, and people with average moral level will fall, but people with real morality will not be affected.
So the second half of the sentence has some truth, but it is not comprehensive.
As for the first half of the sentence, it's completely spun.
The biggest difference between morality and rules is that rules are dead and morality is alive. Rules are passive and morality is spontaneous. If everyone only talks about rules and doesn't talk about morality, then at most, people don't do bad things, that is, they don't do things that cross the line. But does not doing bad things mean doing good things? The spontaneity and initiative of morality are irreplaceable by rules. Rules will not let you help others, care about others, and let go of discrimination and prejudice. ...
To sum up, this sentence is nonsense. The second half of the sentence has some truth, telling people the importance of rules, but not telling people to distinguish between "true morality" and "false morality". The first half of the sentence is of little value.
This kind of words reads like chicken soup, and it still has certain nutritional value. But it would be ridiculous to take this sentence as the motto of life when you open your mouth. It's a pity that if there is a celebrity in the name, all the shit is fragrant and people are eager for it. Many people worship this "famous saying", perhaps it is just an arty move, or it is absorbed by socialism; In other words, even if something goes wrong, the names of celebrities can reassure them.
