摘要
Rites are prominent in Confucius' theories. Rites are the foundation of benevolence. People should behave and speak in accordance with certain rites: It is important to meet the standard of rites, and to adjust people's behavior in accordance with the rites.
“礼”在《论语》中被提到非常高的高度。孔子甚至用“礼”来给“仁”下定义。孔子把“礼”当作“为仁”的前提,克己复礼成了“为仁” “归仁”的标志。人们的一切视听言动都要建立在“礼”的基础上,并以“礼”为准则。
