国际维和人员日！中国文化中的“和平性”该怎么翻译？

亲仁善邻

亲近仁德而与邻国友善。这一思想最早见于《左传》，中国古人用它作为处理与相邻国家关系的重要指导原则，即邻国之间应当相互尊重、相互友好，共同构筑祥和安定的周边环境，它符合国家和民众的根本利益。从地缘政治角度看，“亲仁善邻”重视国与国之间的友好与和平，和“唇亡齿寒”有相通之处；但它又强调“亲仁”是建立“善邻”关系的基础和前提，即双方都应当共同遵循仁德。它体现了原则性和务实性相统一的国际关系理念以及中华民族崇尚“仁”与“协和万邦”的基本精神。

To be benevolent and friendly towards neighboring countries was first mentioned in Zuo’s Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals. The ancient Chinese used this notion as an important guiding principle in handling relations with neighboring countries: Countries should respect and be friendly to each other, and jointly foster a benign and stable environment. This is in the fundamental interests of all countries and their people. In terms of relations among countries, the pursuit of benevolence and good-neighborliness emphasizes friendship and peace between countries and is similar to the idea that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. This concept also emphasizes moral values as a basis of good-neighborly relations, that is to say, both sides should be guided by moral values in handling their relations. The concept, as applied to international relations, is one of both principle and pragmatism. It embodies the Chinese nation’s pursuit of harmonious relations with other nations based on moral values.

夫亲仁善邻，古之令轨。（《魏书·许谦传》）

To be benevolent and friendly towards neighboring countries – this has been a good principle observed by our country since its early days. (The History of Northern Wei)

协和万邦‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Coexistence of All in Harmony‍

指古代有贤德的君主通过实行仁政，将天下诸侯都聚集在自己周围，以实现不同部族、不同国家、不同民族的融合和文化上的涵化，形成和谐统一的部落联盟或多民族国家。这一思想是中国文化整体和谐观的重要表现，是中华民族文化精神的核心观念。

The term refers to the exercise of benevolent government by virtuous and wise rulers in ancient China to win the allegiance of all the vassals, so as to achieve an integration and acculturation of different tribes, nations or ethnic groups and create a harmonious and unified alliance of tribes or a multi-ethnic state. Harmonious coexistence of all is a key feature of the concept of social harmony in Chinese culture and one of the core values of the Chinese nation.

克明俊德，以亲九族。九族既睦，平（pián）章百姓。百姓昭明，协和万邦，黎民于变时雍。（《尚书·尧典》）

(Emperor Yao) was able to promote moral values, so that amity prevailed in his clan. He then clarified the hierarchical order of tribal officials. Only when this was done could all vassal states, big and small, prosper in harmony, and the people become friendly with each other. (The Book of History)
