14、es to explore in her mind.BConfucianism (儒家思想) has been followed by Chinese people for more than two thousand years.To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues (美德) around the world

15、. The most important two are ren and li.Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others.

17、, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors (祖先). While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us.Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao
