The Enlightenment of the Harmonious Spirit from the Cultural Tradition of Confucianism to the Construction of Modern Harmonious Society

Harmony is the highest value criterion of Confucian culture. Confucianism believes that harmony is the basis of the existence of things and the final trend of the development of the contradiction in things. Harmony is not only a kind of moral law with the style of cultural norms, but also an ecological law by which mankind and nature should support each other harmoniously. It includes the harmony between inside and outside of man、the interpersonal harmony、the harmony between collective and individual、the harmony between nature and mankind. The precious heritage from the harmonious spirit of Confucianism is significant in the construction of modern harmonious society.
