Talk:Junzi

message: The contents of junzi is much less elaborate than the description in the article Confucianism; should junzi be merged into Confucianism, or should the contents of the Confuciansim article about junzi be moved to the new article on junzi?--Confuzion 23:57, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Since the article on Confucianism is on Confucianism itself, perhaps a minimal definition could be included there — enough for a reader to understand it in the context of that article. This page could provide additional information that wouldn't be needed to read the Confucianism article, but would add more depth to those who are interested.

thread_title: Keep it minimal in the Confucianism article, use this one for additional depth

message: It should be expanded into it's own topic.  And Junzi is the same as Chun-tzu, right? Or am I way off.
Chun-tzu: Gentleman (or gentlewomen/lady) who follows the "will/mandate of heaven".  and follows the 7 virtues:
   Intenal Virtues
      Chih  : uprighteous of inner integrity
      I     : righteousness (principle)
      Chang : Loyalty/ to maintain others
      Shu   : "Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself"
      Ren   : (jen), humanity
   External Virtues
      Wen   : culture of polish
      Li    : ritual/understanding of proper etiquette and social usage
only site I could find online Confucianism
I'll add more sources later
===They are the same===
There are different ways of romanizing Chinese. The topic of this article is "君子" which can be rendered as either junzi or chun-tzu. Here is an article on an educational website that renders it in the manner that you have: http://philosophy.lander.edu/oriental/main.html And, here is a dictionary link which renders it as junzi: https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=worddict&wdrst=1&wdqb=%E5%90%9B%E5%AD%90 
They are different ways of saying the same thing, so junzi and chun-tzu should both be covered by this article. A note on the different romanizations with a link to articles on Pinyin and Wade Giles (romanization systems) could be included for reference.

message: The translation of junzi as "gentleman" is problematic, for several reasons:
# The translation of the term itself can refer to an individual of either sex.
# The term "gentleman" has Western cultural connotations (i.e. Victorian-era propriety) which are not present in the Eastern idea system which junzi is a part of.
===The translation of junzi===
君: sovereign, monarch, ruler, chief, prince
子: offspring, child, fruit, seed of

As you can see, there is no indication of sex inherent in the term. A sovereign, monarch, ruler, chief, or prince may have a male or female child.

replies: text: OK, but show me an example where a woman is called junzi (and not, say, LIKE a junzi).  I know of one in the entire tradition.  I bet you don't know of any.--98.111.164.239 (talk) 04:29, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
