国以义为利
把道义视作根本利益，这是国家立足的基石。“义利之辨”在中国思想史长河中始终是个绕不开的话题，“以义为利”则是先贤们确立的核心准则。无论是一身之私还是一国之公，都离不开利益的支撑。不过，古人讲究利与义的平衡，认为真正的利应当合乎义，追求二者的和谐共生，绝不能为了眼前小利而损害大义，进而破坏整体大局。基于这种理念，国家对百姓，不争夺民众的利益；国家之间相处，不片面谋求自身好处，而是致力于实现兼顾、共赢、平衡以及相互成就。
A State Should Regard Righteousness as a Benefit
A state should regard righteousness as a fundamental benefit. The debate over righteousness and benefits has been a constant theme of discussion in the Chinese history of philosophy, because benefits were often seen as personal profits that might be wrongfully gained. Taking righteousness as the most important kind of benefit was a basic concept upheld by ancient philosophers. Neither a person nor a state can survive without benefits. However, ancients emphasized the integration of righteousness and benefits. They believed that benefits could be materialized only when combined with righteousness, and the two should stay in harmony. One must not seek personal gain at the expense of righteousness. According to this concept, a government must not vie with commoners for benefits, nor should a state vie with another state for benefits for itself only. One must always strive for mutual assistance, shared interests, balance, and win-win outcomes.
