Features: Ancient Zengzi said that a gentleman loves people with virtue, while modern Li Ao says that a gentleman loves people with beauty. This is because Confucius had already said that it is as hard to see a person love virtue as to see them love beauty. Therefore, loving people with beauty is closer to the way of the sage.
