厚德載物
Have Ample Virtue and Carry All Things
以寬厚的德性承載天下萬物。多指以寬厚之德包容萬物或他人。古人認為，大地的形勢和特質是寬厚和順的，它承載萬物，使萬物各遂其生。君子取法于“地”，要像大地一樣，以博大寬厚的道德容納萬物和他人，包含了對自身道德修養及人與自然、社會和諧一體的追求。這是中國人參照大地山川狀貌和特質樹立的治國理政和為人處世的理念和理想。它和“自強不息”一起構成了中華民族精神的基本品格。
This term means that one should be broad-minded and care for all things and people. Ancient Chinese believed that with its topography and other natural features being generous and peaceful, the earth sustained all things in the world, allowing them to grow and develop in keeping with their own nature. Men of virtue model themselves on the earth, and just like the earth, care for all things and fellow human beings with open heart and virtue. This embodies the pursuit of moral cultivation and harmony among people and between people and nature. It represents the Chinese views and ideals on governance and human relationship, which were inspired by the formation and features of mountains and rivers in China. Together with the notion of constantly exerting oneself for self-improvement, it forms the fundamental character of the Chinese nation.
