The Dao of Reverence: An Independent Chapter of Jing-Rong Philosophical Reflections

Jing-Rong Philosophical Reflections (JRPR) comprises a series of independent articles, dedicated to revealing original philosophical concepts and rules grounded in Reverence (Jìng) and Vital Harmony (Róng). As the overarching preamble of the JRPR series, this independent article is supported by original core principles including the instinct of Innate Self-Interest (Sī), the Value Law (Benefiting the Domain is Good, Harming the Domain is Evil), the Law of Forming 1 (With Jing Comes Condensation; Without Jing, Dispersion Ensues), the Law of Forming 2 (All Things Seek Stability), the Cosmic Existence Law (Reverence–Vital Harmony–Unity into Oneness), and the Harmony Law Core (Reverencing Differences, Convergence in Shared Reverence). It unfolds reflections from multiple dimensions: innate self-interest and morality, innate self-interest driving evolution, cultural inheritance and innovation, social harmony and integration, the formation of entities and their underlying Inherent-Logic, the connection between philosophy and science, and reverencing oneself while loving others. This article presents philosophical insights into the Dao of Reverence and Vital Harmony without predefined research backgrounds or problem-solving objectives, solely serving as an exposition of inherent rules, and offers a new perspective for the inquiry into the logic of civilizational development, without preset research backgrounds or problem-solving objectives.
