和, or harmony in English, is a term that carries enormous weight in Chinese culture. It is one of the most cherished ethical and social ideals in Chinese culture and can be linked to Confucianism, an ancient Chinese belief system that values ethics and morality. Harmony is a dynamic process that seeks to balance and resolve conflicts and differences into a mutually beneficial relationship for the good of the larger society, according to Confucian thought.Story continues below advertisement
“The Chinese word 和 expresses the concept of peace, togetherness or the absence of conflict. For social interactions in a peaceful and orderly society, the concept of 和 is very much one of the key elements,” said Malcolm Chow, chairman of the Calgary Chinese Cultural Centre, in a statement. “Philosophers throughout the centuries have identified mutual respect, tolerance and the right to be different as the fundamental principles that guide a civilized society. Without any one of these three principles, a civilized society, especially a liberal democracy, cannot be sustained, as it will lead to conflicts and hostilities among individuals.”
