什么是“和谐”？
中国有大约5000年的历史。在历史的变迁和意识的变革中，宗教、哲学、政治、经济以及不同的民族带来了各种文化的复杂性。这些综合元素最终形成了中国文化的最高境界：和谐（又称“和合”）。 “和谐”可以追溯到儒家的和谐思想，其中大部分强调三种主要的和谐关系。 第一，人与自然的和谐。在中国文化中，人的生命是自然的一部分。 第二，人与人之间的和谐。在孔子看来，一个人离不开社区和社会。因此，人际和谐对我们来说至关重要。第三，内在和谐。中国思想强调人们不仅要了解外部世界，更重要的是要提升内在心态或追求“君子”的内心世界，也就是所谓的君子。 所有这些都反映了中国文化的精髓，与普世的人类价值观产生共鸣。这也许就是为什么21世纪的儒家思想不仅为中国人，也为世界其他地方的人们所关注的原因。
What is "harmony"?
China has a history of about 5000 years. In the vicissitudes of history and the transformation of consciousness, religions, philosophies, politics, economics, and different peoples have brought the complexity of various cultures. These integrated elements eventually formed the highest state of Chinese culture: harmony (also known as "harmony"). "Harmony" can be traced back to Confucian ideas of harmony, most of which emphasize three main harmonious relationships. First, the harmony between man and nature. In Chinese culture, human life is a part of nature. Second, the harmony between people. According to Confucius, one cannot do without the community and society. Therefore, interpersonal harmony is very important to us. Third, inner harmony. Chinese thought emphasizes that people should not only understand the external world, but more importantly, improve their inner mentality or pursue the inner world of a "gentleman", the so-called gentleman. All of these reflect the essence of Chinese culture and resonate with universal human values. This is perhaps why Confucianism in the 21st century is of interest not only to the Chinese, but also to the rest of the world.
“和谐”意味什么？
这个概念仍然体现在中国人的日常生活中。举两个例子。一个是关于中国菜，正宗的宫保鸡丁有甜、酸、咸、辣等多层次的味道，但又把这些互补甚至对立的味道融合在一起，如此“和谐”。因此，它的名字已经传遍全球。 另一个是传统中医（TCM）。它提供了一个整体的画面和世界观，这意味着我们的身体与环境和宇宙协调。我们的内脏器官构成了一个物理宇宙，在这个宇宙中，它们也需要相互协调。所以，呵呵，已经在中国人的日常生活中体现得淋漓尽致。
What does "harmony" mean?
This concept is still embodied in the daily life of Chinese people. Give two examples: One is about Chinese cuisine. Authentic Kung Pao Chicken has multiple layers of flavors such as sweet, sour, salty, and spicy, but these complementary and even opposing flavors are blended together, so "harmonious". Hence, its name has spread all over the world. Another is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It provides a holistic picture and worldview, which means that our bodies are in harmony with the environment and the universe. Our internal organs make up a physical universe in which they also need to coordinate with each other. So, hehe, it has been reflected in the daily life of Chinese people.
