文质彬彬·每日好词语｜讲信修睦

讲信修睦

　　崇尚诚信，谋求和睦。语出《礼记·礼运》。它是战国至秦汉之际儒家学者所描述的“大同”社会的重要特征之一。儒家认为最理想的社会应当是，天下是天下人的天下，人与人之间、国与国之间应彼此信任合作，和睦相处。后“讲信修睦”不仅成为儒家所提倡的一种伦理规范，而且成为中国文化中处理人际关系和国家关系的一个重要准则。

Keep Good Faith and Pursue Harmony

　　This term, from The Book of Rites, means attaching great value to good faith and seeking harmonious relations, which was one of the key features of the society of "universal harmony" envisioned by Confucian scholars from the Warring States Period through the Qin and Han Dynasties. They believed that in an ideal society, the land should belong to all its people, and there should be mutual trust, cooperation and harmonious relations between people and between states. "Keeping good faith and pursuing harmony" subsequently became an ethical norm advocated by Confucian scholars; it later also became an important Chinese cultural norm governing relations between people and between states.
