The Five Relationships Tapestries
Main Tag:
Description: The character 仁, humaneness, glows at the centre of five paired relationships, from ruler and minister to friend and friend. Where does goodness live: in rules, or in how we treat one another? Humaneness (ren) is cultivated through ritual propriety (li) within five bonds: ruler and minister, parent and child, husband and wife, elder and younger, friend and friend. Source: Confucius, The Analects, 5th century BC, developed by Mencius.
