Learning every day | This Confucian classic concept Xi Jinping has repeatedly cited

　　On the evening of September 14, President Xi Jinping held a video meeting in Beijing with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, President of the European Council, and President of the European Commission von der Lein.

The leaders of China, Germany and Europe exchanged in-depth views on China-EU relations and set the direction for China-EU relations in the next phase.

　　President Xi Jinping emphasized that “the strength of China and Europe’s peaceful coexistence is stronger, and world peace and prosperity will be guaranteed.” He reiterated that China adheres to the global governance concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits and is committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the concept of "community with a shared future for mankind" for the first time.

Building a community with a shared future for mankind is the "Chinese plan" provided by contemporary China to promote world peace and development and global governance. This plan has a lofty purpose, provides new ideas for the development of international relations in the 21st century, and is forward-looking and advanced.

In this regard, President Xi Jinping made important discussions on different occasions.

　　On September 28, 2015, in his speech during the general debate of the 70th United Nations General Assembly, President Xi Jinping used the Chinese Confucian idea of ​​“the world is the public” to expound the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind——

　　"A journey on the road, the world is the public." From the Confucian classic "The Book of Rites·Rite Yun", it explains the political ideals of the Confucian school and its vision for the future society.

【Interpretation】

　　"On the journey of the great road, the world is for the public" is a question and answer by the later Confucian scholar under the name Confucius.

"Dadao", the highest political ideal, refers to the universal truth or truth; "Tianxia", specifically refers to the area governed by the emperor; "gong", according to the interpretation of the Eastern Han Confucianist Zheng Xuan, that is, "common" meaning.

Its meaning is: when the Dao is implemented, the world is the world shared by all people, that is, the country is not regarded as a private property of one family.

In this ideal society, "the old have their end, the strong have their usefulness, the young have their strengths, and the widows, widows, loneliness, and the disabled have support."

This is the so-called "Great Harmony World", which expresses the ancient Chinese's pursuit of a perfect and ideal society.

[Interpretation]

　　"A journey on the road, the world is for the public" is an old saying cited by President Xi Jinping, which is mostly used in the elaboration of China's foreign policy in order to create a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　"Community with a shared future for mankind" is China's ideal pursuit of promoting world peace and development. It aims to answer the question of "What kind of world does China want?" "The world is for the public" originated from the ancient Chinese's pursuit of a "universal world", and the two are in the same line , Harmony in values.

The community with a shared future for mankind upholds the mission of "the world is the public", demonstrates the "win-win sharing" governance philosophy, runs through the value orientation of "fairness and justice", contains the ethical thought of "harmony without difference", and embodies the tolerance spirit of "seeking common ground while reserving differences".

　　On November 21, 2016, President Xi Jinping said in a speech at the Peruvian Congress: "'The world is the public when we travel along the road.' In today's world, countries are interdependent and share weal and woe. We must take advantage of the trend and promote a win-win cooperation. A new type of international relations at the core, creating a community with a shared future for mankind." The “world” described by President Xi Jinping is very different from the understanding of predecessors.

The "view of the world" in ancient China referred to "under the whole world", and its basic proposition was "the whole world is one family, and China is in the center."

The "world" referred to by President Xi Jinping refers to the whole world, and China is a member of the community with a shared future for mankind; the "road" is the value of "fairness and justice" pursued by all mankind.

As President Xi Jinping said at the 70th United Nations General Assembly: "'A journey of the great road, the world is public.' Peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom are the common values ​​of all mankind and the lofty goal of the United Nations. "The broader vision, greater boldness, and broader mind show the broad world vision and broad human sentiments of the leaders of major powers.
