Hehe Culture

Hehe Culture

Hehe Culture is part of the cream of traditional Chinese culture. Xi Jinping once summarized Hehe Culture quite concisely in his work Zhejiang, China: A New Vision for Development: "Our ancestors created an incomparable culture, a quintessential part of which is the Hehe culture. The first 'He' of Hehe indicates harmony, peace, and balance. The second 'He' indicates convergence, unity, and cooperation. Such inclusiveness is reflected in the traditional thinking of 'valuing harmony and esteeming balance,' 'being understanding and open-minded,' 'embracing the world through virtue,' and 'living in harmony without uniformity.' This is a cultural ideal that our people seek. Harmony between nature and society and between the individual and the group is the ideal of our people and the basis of our cohesiveness and creativity."

和合文化

和合文化是中华优秀传统文化的精髓之一。习近平总书记曾在《之江新语》一书中对和合文化的内涵作出精辟概括：“我们的祖先曾创造了无与伦比的文化，而‘和合’文化正是这其中的精髓之一。‘和’指的是和谐、和平、中和等，‘合’指的是汇合、融合、联合等。这种‘贵和尚中、善解能容，厚德载物、和而不同’的宽容品格，是我们民族所追求的一种文化理念。自然与社会的和谐，个体与群体之间的和谐，我们民族的理想正在于此，我们民族的凝聚力、创造力也正基于此。”
