Brothers and Sisters of the Same Parents; Compatriots
同胞胎，指同父母所生的兄弟姐妹。猶言親人、一家人。北宋張載依據(jù)萬(wàn)物皆由天地所生這一觀念，提出了“民胞物與”的思想?！巴币辉~由此超越了血親家族的范圍，進(jìn)而指同一民族或國(guó)家特別是具有共同語(yǔ)言和文化的人，有時(shí)甚至超越民族、國(guó)家等界限，泛指整個(gè)人類。它通過(guò)對(duì)共同的祖先、語(yǔ)言和文化的溯源，喚起并強(qiáng)化人們對(duì)自己民族或國(guó)家的歸屬感和認(rèn)同感，其中所蘊(yùn)含的平等、博愛(ài)觀念，可以說(shuō)是人類共同的精神財(cái)富。
This term originally referred to siblings in the same family. On the basis of the belief that all living creatures are created by heaven and earth, Zhang Zai of the Northern Song Dynasty advanced the view that all people were brothers and sisters and all living things companions. The meaning of the term was thus extended from blood ties to include people of the same nation or state, especially those with a common language and culture. Sometimes the term goes beyond the nation to refer to all of humanity. By tracing common ancestry, language and culture, it rouses and strengthens people's sense of identity and recognition of their own nation and state. Equality and universal love it embodies are a source of inspiration for humanity.
