Ren, the core Confucian concept, is the fundamental root of all moral conduct and a natural inner awareness matching ethical standards. It serves as the supreme moral principle in Confucian thought. Its layered love starts with filial piety to parents and respect for elder siblings, extends to relatives, and finally embraces universal care for all people in the world. Simply put, ren covers compassion, familial respect, and harmonious unity of all beings under heaven.
