  • Note
    1."反省" is different from "反思". "反思" means "think about comparatively important things in the past, with the purpose of summing up lessons and advancing forward"; "反省" means "check one's own thoughts and behaviors, with the purpose of recognizing shortcomings and mistakes, and discarding the old and the new". 2."省" cannot be pronounced as "shěng" in"反省".
