[edit]This page was specifically created to clear up the confusion between different characters all called "Li" in Confucianism.
In Chinese language and Confucian philosophy, there is Li, Li, Li and Li... they're all different characters but someone typing Li in Wikipedia will invariably click on the "Li" meaning ritual (which could look like it's related to the Li of principle (理), but it's nothing like it). Someone could also mix of one the Li and think it's the same term for "force" (力), like in modern science.
It's completely different. Me thinks Wiki needs a way of differentiating Li, Li and Li from Li.

[edit]Thank you for this. I see that on the Chinese philosophy page, section "Concepts within Chinese philosophy", the reference for "Li" is to the Li (Confucian) page. Is that correct? Or should it link here? Hundovir (talk) 19:44, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, you are correct. Fixed. Caorongjin (talk) 23:19, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
Tao in Taoists.
[edit]The Li is not the reference to Daoism and to say this can be very misleading. Le is through correct ritual. Like blood going through the veins. Not the path. Health and wellbeing is very important. We should understand what we say before we talk on subjects like this. Zongqi (talk) 23:16, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
