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. 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. He is famous for teaching people "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others". It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated). While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as duty or even respect. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, 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. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of oneˈs parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess. 29.Which are the most important of the Five Constants? A. Ren and yi. B. Ren and li. C. Li and xin. D. Yi and zhi. 30.What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A. 博学于文，约之以礼。 B. 学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。 C. 己所不欲，勿施于人。 D. 君子和而不同，小人同而不和。 31.Which of the following is an example of li? A. Building a peaceful society. B. Taking care of oneˈs children. C. Obeying rules for drinking tea. D. Learning all through oneˈs life. C There was a rich boy who lived in a small town. One day a friend gave him a magic mirror. He liked it very much.
