"Harmony without forgetting danger, survival without forgetting death, and governance without forgetting chaos" comes from the Book of Changes. Zhouyi is one of the original cultural classics in China, and it has a very high position in the cultural history of China.
According to legend, the author of Cohesion is Confucius, who summarized and expounded the basic ideas of Zhouyi, which is an important work to expound the epistemology and methodology of Confucianism in the pre-Qin period.
Its relatively complete context is: "those who are in danger are also in their place." The dead, let them live. Chaos, but also cure. Therefore, a gentleman is safe and does not forget danger, but does not forget death and chaos. It is for security, and the country can be protected. "
The general idea is as follows:
People in danger often live in comfort. Dying regimes are usually considered to be preserved in the past, and turbulent countries are often well managed.
Therefore, even if a gentleman is in a safe and comfortable environment, he will not forget the existence of the crisis. When the country is safe and sound, he is also alert to the possibility of extinction, and social stability will not be taken lightly, so as to save himself and the country.
