1, Origin: The Book of Rites is an important work to study the social situation, laws and regulations and Confucianism in ancient China.
2, the original: the trip to the avenue, the world is fair, choose talents and choose talents, talk about faith. An old friend is not only a relative, but also an only child. In this way, the old will have an end, the young will be useful, and the young will be strong. Those who are sorry, widowed, lonely, widowed and disabled will be provided for, and the men will be divided and the women will return. If the goods are abandoned on the ground, there is no need to hide them on yourself; You don't have to do it for yourself. Therefore, it is called "Datong" to seek closure but not prosperity, and thieves do not do it, so leaving the house is not sealed.
When the highest political ideal is put into practice, the world is owned by people. People elect people with high moral character and both ability and political integrity, and everyone stresses honesty and creates a harmonious atmosphere. Therefore, people should not only support their parents, but also their children, so that the elderly can have a place to die, the young and middle-aged can have a place to be appointed to support their families, the young children can have a place to grow up healthily, and the old without a wife, husband, father, son and disability can get social support. Men have jobs and women have homes. For wealth, people hate throwing it on the ground, but when they pick it up, they certainly don't want to hide it themselves. People are willing to do their best for public affairs, but certainly not for their own self-interest. Therefore, evil plots will not happen, and theft, rebellion and harm will not rise again, so the door of every household does not have to be closed. This is an ideal society.
