当我们考察“和”字之意义来源,着眼于“和”、“龢”、“盉”字之分合时,就会发现,史伯、晏婴由“和”字之“调音”、“调味”义出发,推而衍之,得出世间万物相异、相反而适足以相成之理,单一事物的世界是不可能长久的。约与晏婴同时的古希腊哲学家亦提出万事万物相异相反而和谐的思想,而他们所强调的“和谐”一词亦本之于音乐,可谓异曲而同工。 When we look at the source of the meaning of the word “and” and focus on the combination of the characters “” and “, ” and “, and” 盉 “, And ”word “ ”“, ”seasoning “ righteousness starting, pushing and deriving, come out of the world everything is different, on the contrary, but enough to each other, the world of single things can not be long .
