<< review queue entry 61917 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1) Those geographical names are just clutter in this entry. We have separate entries for all of them: 大同區 大同市 大同鄉 -------------------------------------- 2) It's *Confucian*, not neo-Confucian. Neo-Confucianism is "a movement in religious philosophy derived from Confucianism in China around AD 1000 in response to the ideas of Taoism and Buddhism", whereas "the notion of the Great Unity appeared in the Lǐyùn (禮運) chapter of the Book of Rites" [Wp], and the Book of Rites dates back much earlier than 1000 AD: "Liji, (Chinese: “Record of Rites”) ..., one of the Five Classics ... of Chinese Confucian literature, the original text of which is said to have been compiled by the ancient sage Confucius (551–479 BC). During the 1st century BC the text was extensively reworked by Dai De (Elder Dai) and his cousin Dai Sheng (Younger Dai)." [Britannica Academic] "The concept of “datong” in Chinese philosophy was developed more than two millennia ago in the Confucian classics." https://hub.hku.hk/bitstream/10722/143448/2/Content.pdf?accept=1 -------------------------------------- 3) "sim. New Jerusalem" is rather unhelpful. Compare: a) New Jerusalem Wp ~ "It will be inhabited by people to live eternally in spirit form, created by God as a gift to mankind. Not everyone will reside in New Jerusalem, as most will possibly stay on Earth." Web ~ "Who are the residents of the New Jerusalem? The Father and the Lamb are there (Revelation 21:22). Angels are at the gates (verse 12). But the city will be filled with God’s redeemed children." b) Datong "Rulers are selected according to their wisdom and ability. Mutual confidence is promoted and good neighborliness cultivated. Hence men do not regard as parents only their own parents nor do they treat as children only their own children. Provision is secured for the aged till death, employment for the able bodied and the means of growing up for the young. Helpless widows and widowers, orphans and the lonely as well as the sick and disabled are well cared for. Men have their respective occupations and women their homes. They do not like to see wealth lying idle, yet they do not keep it for their own gratification. They despise indolence, yet they do not use their energies for their own benefit. In this way, selfish scheming’s are repressed, and robbers, thieves and other lawless men no longer exist, and there is no need for people to shut their outer doors. This is the great harmony." https://reflectingonanselm.wordpress.com/2015/09/24/the-great-harmony-the-ta-tung-confucius-said/ (translation from the Lǐyùn (禮運) chapter of the Book of Rites) -------------------------------------- 4) TP 東方人照樣可以頭頂金髮、紅髮，儼然已經「世界大同」了。 For Asians wearing blond or red hair, it's as if there is already universal brotherhood. 當「男有分、女有歸」不再是大同理想， The traditional notion that the man practices a profession and the woman stays at home is no longer a social ideal, 才會相信真有世界大同的一天， to believe that one day the entire world will be able to be as one 就像一個大家庭，所有收入集中管理，成員吃、住、教育、生活所需也全由大家長負責。但每家戶個別居住，單身、老人各有不同宿舍，老人還有專人照顧。而父母不在身邊的、未成年的孩子們則住學生宿舍，有叔伯阿姨輔導生活起居，好一幅「老有所終、壯有所用、幼有所長，鰥寡孤獨廢疾者皆有所養」的大同世界景象。 the community operates like a large family. Members manage the income collectively, and together provide for each individual's needs. Families have their own homes, while singles, school-age children, and the elderly each have dormitories. The community's elderly also have personal caretakers, and the school-age kids are watched over by "aunties and uncles." |
