Interpretation of the Chinese character[edit] Principles of li, ren, and yi[edit] Nature of ren[edit] Ren has been translated as "benevolence", "perfect virtue", "goodness" or even "human-heartedness".[13] When asked, Confucius defined it by the ordinary Chinese word for love, ai, saying that it meant to "love others".[14] Confucianism says that if the ruler lacks ren, it will be difficult for his subjects to behave humanely. Confucians basically held the view that government should be run by junzi who concentrate solely on the welfare of the people they govern.[citation needed] Hypotheses regarding origins and the role of Confucius[edit] "On the Origin of Ren: A Practice of Human Sacrifice and Martyrdom in Early Chinese History "仁"字探源："仁"系中國早期歷史人祭與殉道癿一種習俗".
