Human beings want to gain ?sustainable freedom and moral values, but must realize that sustained power of freedom stems from collected wisdom of grass roots. So, 礼失而求诸野。It is always true. ：）Let people speak their mind and the government needs to hear them out and respond to their pain, which is only way to gain a long-term stability and peace worldwide.
It is collective wisdom of historical truth: sustainable freedom and moral values stem from the collective interests of the populace—the grass-roots movement sustains citizen's right, grounded for a long-term stability of society and nations.
"礼失而求诸野" translates to "When rites are lost, seek them in the countryside." This phrase conveys the idea that when traditional rituals or moral standards are abandoned or forgotten, one should look for them among ordinary people or in rural areas where traditional customs may still be preserved.
Elaboration: This proverb suggests that when societal norms or moral values erode or are disregarded, one should turn to simpler, more traditional settings or individuals for guidance. It implies that the essence of cultural and moral traditions may endure in everyday life or in rural communities even when formal rituals or customs are no longer practiced in mainstream society. The proverb underscores the importance of maintaining and preserving cultural heritage and moral principles, even in times of change or uncertainty. It reminds us to value and respect the wisdom and traditions of ordinary people, as they may hold insights that are valuable for navigating contemporary challenges or restoring societal harmony.
