“The earliest fundamental understanding of the nature of health and disease, expounded by the Nei Ching, would have⟳ been forgotten were it not for an element peculiar to Chinese culture: the worship⟳ of their ancestors, a practice which runs far deeper than the respect⟳ shown for Western patriarchs. It was formalized by the teaching of K’ung-tzu, whose Latinized name⟳ is Confucius.”
“So, K’ung-tzu says: 'To master oneself and return⟳ to propriety is humanity' (Bk 12.1). We see⟳, in this view⟳, that humaneness was a quality which K’ung-tzu believed to be embodied in li, tradition and custom.”
