Aggregated Source: Jiang's Information Office1. I dislike those who claim that only Marxists could understand the meaning of Dream of the Red Chamber, like Liu Shide, a so-called expert on this classical novel. It is quite ridiculous to say that. Can you surpass the scholars lived in 100 years ago?

What is the nature of
morality? According to the definition from the dictionaries it means the principals
of good behavior. Its Chinese equivalent is daode 道德. In ancient Chinese, dao
道
means the way, or all wonderful things. 衆妙皆道也,合三才萬物共由者也。
de 德
means good, beauty, righteous, brightness.
凡言德者,善美,正大,光明,純懿之稱也。

Republic, Socrates assumes that there is an area of expertise, and that what
holds good for other areas of expertise will hold good for morality as well.
And it is never right to harm anyone under any circumstances,
morality is not to the advantage of the stronger party.
