国以义为利

把道义视作根本利益,是国家治理的核心逻辑。“义利之辨”在中国思想长河中从未停歇,而先哲们早已定下“以义为利”的基调。无论是个人的修身立命,还是国家的兴衰存亡,都离不开“利”的存在。但传统智慧强调利与义的内在统一,主张利的本质应当契合道义,追求两者的和谐共生,绝不可为了私利而损害大义,进而破坏整体格局。秉持这一理念,国家对民众,不应与民争利;国家之间,也不该只顾自身利益而忽视他人。真正的目标,是寻求一种兼顾各方、彼此成就、保持平衡且实现共赢的局面。

A State Should Regard Righteousness as a Benefit

Righteousness serves as the bedrock of a nation’s fundamental interests. The philosophical debate between righteousness and benefits has persisted throughout Chinese intellectual history, largely because benefits were frequently viewed as personal gains acquired improperly. Ancient thinkers established the principle that taking righteousness as the primary form of benefit. Survival is impossible for either individuals or states without some form of benefit. Yet, ancients stressed that righteousness and benefits must be integrated. They argued that true benefits only materialize when aligned with righteousness, requiring harmony between the two. Seeking profit at the cost of righteousness is strictly prohibited. Under this framework, governments should not compete with citizens for resources, nor should states pursue exclusive self-interest over others. The aim is to foster mutual support, shared prosperity, balance, and win-win results.
