It is said to be an attitude independent of any thought to do with utility,economic value, moral judgement or emotion, and concerned with experiencing the thing per se with detached thought marked by an absence of all desires directed to the object. Such perception of the object is more disengaged than usual from desires and motivations. "Qing jing wu wei" are the Pin Yin system of romanization for 4 Chinese characters. Disinterested may be applied to such an attitude of scepticism.
Confucianism implies richness, subtlety, breadth, and beauty of the sayings of Confucius and Mencius as thinkers. In short, all homosapiens share certain ethical predispositions such as an affective concern for others, a sense of shame and LOVE for Parents and RESPECT and DEFERENCE to elders including octogenarians. Nothing could understand Chinese simply by manipulating so-called scientific symbols according to rules. Knowledge is science per se! Cf. Views into the Chinese Room: New Essays on Searle and artificial intelligence.(Oxford, 2002) Chinese language must be promoted including Pin Yin system of romanization.
Confucius(551-479 BC) The Analects: The wise find pleasure in water, the virtuous find pleasure in hills. The wise are active, the virtuous are tranquil. The wise are joyful;the virtuous are long-lived. The wind is the breath of heaven and earth. Into every corner it unfolds and reaches without choosing between high and low,exalted or humble, it touches everyone! Everything make solitude beautiful. Limitless love, without hatred or enmity. The more I change direction,the wilder the road becomes. All flights go to Shanghai,the land of my birth! Francis Shieh aka Xie Shihao on September 20, 2007
