Philosophy:Jing

From HandWiki

Jing (Chinese: ; 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 , or righteousness, and a proper observation of rituals (). 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]
