The core idea of world harmony

The core idea of "One World" is that all people in the world live in equality and harmony.

The Great Harmony in the World was originally an ideal society advocated by ancient Confucianism, which was the basic ideological framework of ancient China society. Confucius said that "all men are brothers within the four seas", and the Chinese nation should be as close as a family and as close as brothers.

Confucius is also the spiritual sustenance and soul home of Chinese people all over the world, the same root and ancestor of Chinese culture, and "great harmony" is the ultimate destination of "benevolence". "Great Harmony" is a title of China's ancient ideal society, which is equivalent to the western "ideal country" and great harmony thought, namely China's utopia thought.

"Tianxia" is the expression of the ancient people's understanding and meaning of the world in China, and it is an organism representing geographical space, cultural psychology and order concept. "Tianxia", as the perceptual experience and intuitive imagination of the sages to the objective world, not only refers to the space field of "heaven and earth", but also regards "heaven and earth" as the basic framework of the world order, that is, the spatial order of "harmony between man and nature".

Great Harmony is an ancient thought of China, which refers to the ideal world that human beings can finally reach, and represents the beautiful vision of human beings for the future society. The basic feature is that everyone loves and helps each other, and every family lives and works in peace and contentment. There is no difference, and there is no war. This state is called "one world", and this world is also called "one world".
