The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long, long course. More than 2,000 years ago, there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, and many other [theories and] doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous term ( all under the well-known heading ), "the masters’ hundred schools/the Master’s One Hundred Schools." From Confucius to Dr. Sun Yat-sen (From the days of Confucius to the Sun Yat-sen era), the traditional Chinese culture (classic Chinese culture) presents (incorporates) many precious ideas and qualifies, which are essentially populist and democratic. For example, they (those concepts) lay stress on the importance of kindness and love in human relations (love and kindness toward our fellow humans), on the interests (welfare) of the community, on seeking harmony without uniformity and on the idea that the world is for all (a belief in one world for all mankind). Especially, from generation to generation (generation after generation) are taught these values: (such values as) patriotism as embodied in the saying (as proclaimed in the words,) "Everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the country"; the populist ideas that "People are the foundation of the country" and that "People are more important than the monarch"; the code of conduct of "Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you"; and the traditional virtues of endurance and hard work, diligence and frugality in household management (frugality/thrift and diligence in running a home/in housekeeping), and respecting teachers and valuing education (respect for teachers and education ). All these have played a great role in binding (unifying) and regulating the family, the country and society (the family, society and the nation).
