Of All Living Things, Humanity's Spirit Shines Brightest
人是萬物中最有靈性的。出自《尚書》。它代表了中國古人對于“人”的根本看法，構成“愛人”“愛民”等政治思想的邏輯原點或理論基礎，閃耀著中華人文精神的光輝。今人所崇尚的“以人為本”“人民至上”等思想亦可溯源及此。
Humans hold a distinctive position in the panoply of life, recognized as the beings possessing the most vibrant spirit. This concept, originating from The Book of History, epitomizes the ancient Chinese perspective on humanity and serves as the philosophical bedrock for notions of human compassion and care in governance. A manifestation of the inherent humanism in Chinese thought, this concept remains relevant today, with contemporary ideas extolling "humancentric" or "people-first" principles drawing from this deep well of wisdom.
