How to write in Chinese the popular Confucius saying "Never do to others wat you don't like them to do to you"?

己所 不欲、勿施於人。





The full text :





子貢問曰、有一言、而可以終身行之者乎。子曰、其恕乎、己所 不欲、勿施於人。





Adept Kung asked: "Is there any one word that could guide a person throughout life?"


The Master replied: "How about 'shu' [reciprocity]: never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself?"|||不要做对其他对什么做你不喜欢他们你|||己所不欲,勿施于人。





this is the one in classical literature, which is very succinct compare to the way of expression we use today.
