——Quoted in "Speech at the Conference Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and France".

■Interpretation

The world is diverse, and different cultures and systems have their own laws of development and change. This kind of law was called "Tao" in ancient China. At the International Academic Symposium to commemorate the 2565th anniversary of the birth of Confucius, Comrade Xi Jinping also emphasized that promoting exchanges and mutual learning among various human civilizations is the only way to make the world more beautiful and the people of all countries live a better life. From a global perspective, the Chinese Dream is our goal, and this goal is in line with the goals of other countries. He mentioned that China has a Chinese dream, and France has a French dream. The Chinese Dream is an opportunity for France, and the French Dream is also an opportunity for China. French President François Hollande also proposed that the people of the two countries should strive to realize the "Sino-French dream" on the basis of realizing their respective dreams. In addition to the dream of China and France, the dream of other peoples is the same. It can be seen that whether it is between people or countries, as long as it is a positive and positive dream, we can understand each other, help each other, and move forward together on the road to realizing our dreams.

■Original text

Zhong Ni Zu Shu Yao Shun, the charter of civil and military, the law of the sky, the water and soil. It is like heaven and earth, and everything is overwritten. It is like the wrong line of the four times, like the sun and the moon. All things nurture each other without harming each other, and the Tao goes hand in hand without contradicting each other. The small German river, the big German Dunhua, the reason why this world is big.

——(Spring and Autumn Period to Qin and Han Dynasties) "The Book of Rites: The Mean"

■Definition

This passage of "The Mean" believes that Confucius inherited Yao and Shun, imitated King Wen and King Wu, respected the laws of heaven, and followed the natural laws of water and soil. Just as the sky covers everything, the earth is all-encompassing, just like the four seasons are staggered, and the sun and moon shine in turn. Among them, "all things are nurtured and do not harm each other, and the Tao is parallel but not contradictory" is a famous saying. Parallel breeding: develop together, and by extension, competitive development. It means that all things compete to grow without harming each other, the sun and the moon run and the four seasons change without conflicting with each other, which embodies the spirit of tolerance and harmony in the laws of the universe and nature.

"The Mean" also mentions: "Joy, anger, sorrow and happiness have not yet occurred, and they are said to be in the middle; It is said to be the sum of the middle sections. Those who are in the middle are also the great capital of the world; Those who are harmonious are also the way of the world. To neutralize, heaven is in the ascendancy, and all things are nurtured. "Emphasizing the moderation of human desires and emotions in personal behavior and social relations.
