Jing (philosophy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Confucianist concept
For the traditional medical concept, see Jing (Chinese medicine).
Jing (Chinese: 敬; pinyin: jìng) is a concept in Chinese philosophy which is typically translated as "reverence". It is often used by Confucius in the term gōngjìng (恭敬), meaning "respectful reverence". For Confucians, jìng requires yì , or righteousness, and a proper observation of rituals (lǐ ). To have jìng is vitally important in the maintenance of xiào , or filial piety.[1] [2]
The Confucian notion of respect has been likened to the later, western Kantian notion[3]
