Confucianism (儒家思想) has been followed by Chinese people for more than two thousand years.
To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常) . These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world.
★
Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated).
While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to explain. It can be like duty or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to enjoy tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we tell our opinions and feelings to others and to the world around us.
Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess.
61. Which of the following can be put in ★
A. There is no need to learn the Five Constants
B. It is necessary to follow the Confucianism
C. The Five Constants are similar to the western culture
D. The most important two are ren and li
62. What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3
A. 博学于文，约之以礼。 B. 学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。
C. 己所不欲，勿施于人。 D. 君子和而不同，小人同而不和。
63. Which of the following is an example of li
A. Building a peaceful society. B. Taking care of one’s children.
C. Obeying rules for drinking tea. D. Learning all through one’s life.
64. The underlined word “it” refers to ____________.
A. xiao B. a harmonious society C. the Five Constants D. Confucianism
65. The writer writes this passage mainly to ____________.
A. tell something about Confucianism B. discuss whether Confucianism is useful
C. show people how great Confucius is D. teach something about the Golden Rule
