A New Interpretation to the Logic of "Harmony in Diversity"
"Harmony in diversity"cannot be simply explained as static harmony,unity,or peaceful coexistence,but rather a process of dynamically generating new things.Guoyu,Yanzi chunqiu had created a philosophical thinking path of"Harmony in diversity",which stresses the premise of difference and the means of mutual aid,with the purpose of"Making all things come to prosperous".Confu-cius'interpretation of"the gentleman is harmonious but different in soul,and the petty people are harmonious but different in belief",had opened up a moral comparison path of the Harmony and Difference,for believing that the gentleman are ambitious,to follow the Daoism and to serving the public.The"petty persons"to compete for benefits.The two way of explanation should not be confused.
