A question for those of you familiar with Confucian TCM

[Guest guest]

How is " propriety " (Li??) associated to the heart?? In my

understanding, propriety seems similar to diplomatic social

maneuvering, which usually seems done best with a " closed heart " ,

keeping one's personal intentions and feelings hidden. Is my

understanding of li adequate?? Is the association because " propriety "

stresses the heart, much in the way grief stresses the lungs?? Again,

sorry for foolish questions based most likely on my own

misunderstanding. Can anyone recommend any sources where I could learn

further?

My Qi-Gong teacher(chinese), argued that respect was above love.

Respect, as propriety and uprightness, correctness, are virtues

of the heart, they are not pathological and do not(should not)

lead to any disease. Propriety do not come from a closed heart,

in the sense of dissimulation, but from respect, you should have

control; correctness, but from the Confucian viewpoint, these are

positive emotions. I guess if it streesed someones heart, he's

not doing it properly!marcos
