A story that values peace.
The story of attaching importance to harmony: the harmony of generals.

During the Warring States Period, Lin Xiangru, the Scheerer of the State of Zhao, was ordered to go to the State of Qin and returned to the State of Zhao intact, so he was named a doctor. He also accompanied the prince of Zhao to the Mianchi meeting set by the king of Qin, so that the king of Zhao would not be insulted by the king of Qin. In recognition of Lin Xiangru's contribution, Prince Zhao named Lin Xiangru as Shangqing. Veteran Lian Po thinks he is invincible, and Lin Xiangru is just a weak scholar, so we should humiliate him.

Lin Xiangru knew that after the incident, he put national affairs first, so he called in sick and did not go to court. He tried not to see him. Later, Lian Po learned that Lin Xiangru's move was entirely on the grounds of state affairs, and offered a humble apology to Lin Xiangru. The latter two reconciled and began to try their best to help Wang Zhao govern the country.

Harmony is the most important thing, which is the principle of moral practice advocated by Confucianism. From "The Analects of Confucius": "The use of courtesy, harmony is precious". In other words, the function of ceremony lies in its smoothness. It means that everything is handled according to etiquette, that is, all kinds of relationships between people can be just right, and they can be properly mediated to make them harmonious with each other.

A Confucius said, "Harmony is the most important thing in the application of courtesy. The ancient monarch's method of governing the country is precious here. However, no matter how big or small things are, it is not feasible to do them in a harmonious way. (This is because) for the sake of harmony and harmony, it is not feasible to control harmony without courtesy. "
