国以义为利
国家把道义当作根本利益。“义利之辨”在中国思想史上争论不休，“以义为利”是先哲们确立的基本理念。无论是个人修身，还是国家治理，都离不开利益支撑。但古人看重利与义的统一，认为利的本质应与义相契合，追求两者的和谐共存，绝不能因追逐私利而损害大义，进而破坏大局。依循这一理念，国家对百姓，不与民争利；国家之间，不片面利己；要努力达成兼顾、兼得、平衡与共赢。
A State Should Regard Righteousness as a Benefit
A state should regard righteousness as its fundamental benefit. The debate over righteousness and benefits has been a persistent theme in the history of Chinese philosophy, largely because benefits were often viewed as personal gains that might be wrongfully acquired. Taking righteousness as the primary form of benefit was a core concept established by ancient philosophers. Neither individuals nor states can survive without benefits. However, ancients emphasized the unity of righteousness and benefits. They believed that benefits are truly realized only when aligned with righteousness, striving for harmony between the two rather than sacrificing righteousness for personal gain. Following this principle, a government should not compete with commoners for benefits, nor should a state pursue self-interest at the expense of others. The goal is to achieve mutual assistance, shared interests, balance, and win-win outcomes.
