How to make different civilizations exist and develop depends on "harmony" in the final analysis. This is the peace between countries, the harmony between people and the harmony between man and nature.
Standing at the height of the development of human civilization, we should put peace first. Is it possible for countries with different civilizations to live in peace? The answer is yes. On this planet where we live, there are more than 6 billion people, more than 200 countries, more than 2,500 nationalities, more than 6,000 languages, and many religions such as Christianity, Catholicism, Islam, Buddhism and Taoism. It is the interdependence, mutual communication, mutual learning and mutual glory of these different civilizations that constitute today's colorful world. Since ancient times, China has believed that harmony is precious, harmony is different, and harmony is practical. "Harmony is precious" means that unity, mutual assistance and friendly coexistence should be the highest state among countries, nationalities and people. "Harmony without difference" means that a country or a nation can tolerate different civilizations and keep its own excellent civilization tradition; "Harmony and reality" means that different civilizations learn from each other, so that cultural relics can be transformed into new ones and the progress of civilization can be promoted. "Harmony" is the basic spirit of China's cultural tradition, and it is also the ideal realm that the Chinese nation pursues unremittingly. As early as 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty, China's foreign exchanges were very active. More than 70 countries in the world have ties with the Tang Dynasty. Peace missions and caravans flowed in an endless stream along the Silk Road. At that time, China culture spread to the Eastern Roman Empire and Arab countries. At the same time, the dance, music, painting, diet, clothing and religion in the Tang Dynasty also absorbed the essence of foreign culture and pushed Chinese civilization to a new peak.
Harmony between people is an important symbol of social civilization and the foundation of national stability. Mencius, a famous thinker in ancient China, said: "The weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony." In other words, as long as people live in harmony, any difficulty can be overcome. To truly achieve harmony between people, it is necessary to develop social productive forces, eliminate poverty and backwardness, and make people live a rich life; To achieve social fairness and justice, we must adhere to equality before the law and respect and protect human rights; It is necessary to advocate mutual tolerance, mutual respect, kindness to others and partnership with neighbors among people of different nationalities and beliefs.
The harmonious coexistence between man and nature is the premise of the development of human civilization. China culture advocates the idea of "harmony between man and nature". The harmony between man and nature is the unity of man and nature. Resources and environment are the basic conditions for human survival, and the development of human civilization has always been attached to nature. People can know nature and seek survival and development in harmony with nature, but they can't destroy nature. An important reason why some ancient civilizations went from prosperity to decline was the wanton exploitation and plunder of nature, which eventually led to the punishment of human beings by nature and the tragedy of civilization. Therefore, caring for and being kind to nature is the common interest of all mankind. An unbalanced earth cannot support the construction of modern civilization.
