礼

The Confucian concept of ritual propriety, social norms, and proper conduct that governs all human relationships. Li encompasses ceremonies, manners, and the observance of hierarchical social roles (ruler-subject, parent-child, husband-wife, elder-younger, friend-friend). Confucius believed that the restoration of Li was essential for social harmony and good governance.

“礼是儒家文化的重要组成部分，强调社会秩序与人际和谐。”
