About this quote

This saying emphasises the deep influence our surroundings have on our character. Living among people of good moral standing creates a harmonious environment that encourages us to live well ourselves. Choosing a community guided by virtue, kindness, and integrity brings true peace. It reminds us that goodness is not just an individual pursuit, but something nurtured by those around us.

The line opens Book 4 of the Analects, a collection of teachings attributed to Confucius and compiled by his followers during the Warring States period. It remains a foundational Confucian text.

People often hang this in an entryway or living space to welcome guests and foster a harmonious community spirit.
