“和而不同”出于《论语·子路》、《左传·昭公二十年》曾记载了这么一次“和同之辨”:齐侯说、只有据(齐侯大臣)跟我很和谐。晏子回答说,据也只是与你相同而已,哪里说得上和谐。擅长于打比方的晏子说:“和如羹焉,水火醯醢盐梅以烹鱼肉,(火单)之以薪。宰夫和之,齐之以味,济其不及,以泄其过。君子食之,以平其心。君臣亦然。今据不然,君所谓可,据亦曰可。君所谓否,据亦曰否。若以水济水,谁能食之?若琴瑟之专一,谁能听之?”也就是说,和谐就好像做羹汤一样,用水、火、醋、酱、盐、梅来烹调鱼和肉,再用柴火烧煮,厨子加工以调和,使味道适中,味道太浓就加水冲淡。君子食 “And different” “out of the Analects of Confucius Road,” “Zuo Zhao Gong twenty years” has recorded such a “ And the same discrimination ”: Qi Hou said that only according to (Qi Hou Minister) I am in harmony.
