和諧 Harmony
相互協調,彼此融洽得當。“和”,即協調和睦;“諧”,即融洽,適宜得當。“和諧”首先指不同聲音之間的配合得當,構成音樂的整體協調;后指良好的社會關系和治理狀態(tài),在尊重差異性、多樣性的基礎上,達成結合共生的關系,從而形成社會的有機整體。在這個整體中,人們各得其所,各安其位,和睦相處,相得益彰,井然有序,生活安康。它是儒家處理人際關系的重要倫理原則和社會政治理想,至今仍被視為核心價值之一。它可泛指人與人之間、團體與團體之間、國家與國家之間和睦、和平、融洽的關系狀態(tài)。它體現了中華民族反對暴力沖突、崇尚和平秩序的“文”的精神。
This term implies mutual coordination and friendship. The Chinese term hexie (和諧) originally referred to the simultaneous combination of different tones that gave rise to a musical work. Later it came to mean a state of governance in which there are good social relations of coexistence based on respect for differences and diversity. In such a society, all people give free rein to their talent and find their proper place to live together in harmony, order and health. Hexie is a core Confucian ethical principle for dealing with interpersonal relationship and guiding social and political activities. It now generally refers to the harmonious, peaceful, and amicable relationship between people, between groups, and between countries. Harmony represents the Chinese cultural value of opposing violence and conflicts and cherishing peace and order.
