ON LI

A wise man once said, “Virtue does not exist in isolation; there must be neibors.” Confucius molded Chinese civilization in general, and is said to be the “father” of modern Chinese philosophical developments. Confucius looked to the ideal man, rather than any supernatural being for inspiration.

One of the most important parts in the series of “fives” is music. In Li, music is symbolic of the living body of society. The human heart creates music, when the heart is touched by the outside world, but if the “music” of the heart was out of sync, then there was no harmony internally
