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

和合文化是中華優秀傳統文化的精髓之一。習近平總書記曾在《之江新語》一書中對和合文化的內涵作出精辟概括：“我們的祖先曾創造了無與倫比的文化，而‘和合’文化正是這其中的精髓之一。‘和’指的是和諧、和平、中和等，‘合’指的是匯合、融合、聯合等。這種‘貴和尚中、善解能容，厚德載物、和而不同’的寬容品格，是我們民族所追求的一種文化理念。自然與社會的和諧，個體與群體之間的和諧，我們民族的理想正在于此，我們民族的凝聚力、創造力也正基于此。”
