Exploring Confucian values in modern society: Insights from Roger T. Ames

China Daily  

Editor's Note: The 10th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations is being held in Qufu, Shandong province, the hometown of Confucius, from July 10 to 11, aiming to promote traditional Chinese culture and strengthen international cultural exchanges and cooperation. China Daily is inviting experts and scholars in related fields to share their insights into Confucianism, traditional Chinese culture and the dialogue among various civilizations. The "和" not only means "harmony", but an optimizing symbiosis that celebrates equity, which doesn't just mean equality but also means justice and diversity ; the "仁" is not altruistic "benevolence", but a recognition that if your neighbor does better, you do better ; the "礼" not only means "ritual", but an aesthetic transformation of the human experience into something elegant and refined; the "孝" not only means "filial piety", but a recognition that familial affection is the primordial basis for the human experience, more fundamental than thinking or reasoning. We must encourage the next generation to take advantage of all of world culture in shaping the new cultural order we need to extend the human experience.
