Cnfucianism (儒家思想) has been fllwed by Chinese peple fr mre than tw thusand years. T help peple understand hw t behave twards thers, Cnfucianism teaches the Five Cnstants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues (美德) arund the wrld. The mst imprtant tw are ren and li.
Ren is the feeling f care and lve we shuld have fr thers. Cnfucius explained ren culd best be understd as lving thers. He is famus fr teaching peple "What yu d nt want dne t yurself, d nt d t thers". It is quite similar t what is knwn in the West as the Glden Rule (treat thers as yu wish t be treated).
While the meaning f ren is easy t understand, li is a little harder t express. It can be thught f as duty r even respect. Generally, li is the way we shuld cnnect with peple in ur everyday life. In Cnfucian writings, discussins abut li include the prper way t drink tea and hw t remember ancestrs (祖先). While ren is mstly abut ur pinins and feelings, li is abut hw we express ur pinins and feelings twards thers and twards the wrld arund us.
Perhaps the mst well-knwn Cnfucian virtue is xia. This is the duty children have t their parents. Xia means lving, respecting, beying and taking care f ne's parents in their ld age. In Cnfucianism, xia is imprtant fr a harmnius (和谐的) sciety: Withut it, the whle wrld wuld fall int a mess.

34. Which f the fllwing is an example f li?
A. Building a peaceful sciety.B. Taking care f ne's children.
C. Obeying rules fr drinking tea.D. Learning all thrugh ne's life.

Characters: I-Gulliver, the King-the ruler f Lilliput
I was careful t behave (表现) as well as pssible, t ask the King t give me my freedm. Lilliputians sn began t lse their fear f me. They called me the Man-Muntain. Smetimes I lay dwn and let them dance n my hand, and frm time t time children came t play games in my hair. By nw I was able t speak their language well.
One day the King invited me t watch the regular entertainments, which are greatly enjyed by him, his family, and his lrds and ladies. I was mst interested in the rpe-dancing. A very thin rpe is fixed thirty centimeters abve the grund. Peple wh want t becme the King’s mst imprtant fficials jump and dance n this rpe, and whever jumps highest withut falling gets the best jb. Smetimes the King rders his lrds t dance n the rpe, t shw that they can still d it. This sprt is, f curse, rather dangerus, and there are ccasinal deaths as a result. It seems a strange way f chsing fficials.
There was anther interesting entertainment. The King hlds a stick in frnt f him, and smetimes mves it up and dwn. One by ne, peple cme up t him and jump ver the stick r crawl under it. They g n jumping and crawling as the King mves the stick. The winner is the ne wh jumps and crawls fr the lngest time, and he receives a blue ribbn t wear rund his waist. The secnd best receives a red ribbn, and the third best gets a green ne. Many f the Lilliput lrds wear their ribbns prudly at all times. I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any f the cuntries I had visited befre.
