Reverencing Diversity and Pluritude: An Independent Chapter of Jing-Rong Philosophical Reflections

Abstract

Jing-Rong Philosophical Reflections (JRPR) comprises a series of independent articles, dedicated to revealing original philosophical concepts and rules grounded in Reverence (Jìng) and Vital Harmony (Róng). Based on the original Harmony Law (Joy in Shared Reverence; Harmony for the Different. Reverencing Differences, Convergence in Shared Reverence; Joy even in Difference), from the perspective of harmonious symbiosis and civilization development, this article explores the philosophical core of Reverencing Differences in the context of pluralistic symbiosis. It unfolds from multiple dimensions including character and word interpretation, definitions by famous scholars, classical schools, and realistic phenomena; deconstructs the objective phenomenon of Reverencing Differences; and reveals the evolution and harm of reducing all Reverence to a single unity. This article presents philosophical insights centered on The Colorfulness of Reverence (Jìng Bīnfēn) and Harmony Law Core (Reverencing Differences, Convergence in Shared Reverence). It has no preset research background or problem-solving objectives. Only serves as an exposition of inherent rules, expecting to provide a new perspective for pluralistic symbiosis and harmonious civilization.
