Great unity

The Great unity is a classical Chinese term found in classical Chinese philosophy which has been invoked many times in modern Chinese history. It refers to a utopian vision of the world in which everyone and everything is at peace.

The phrase was recorded first in ''Liji Liyun Datong'' , editing by Confucius.

The concept was used by Kang Youwei in his visionary utopia ''The Book of Great Unity'' .

The great unity is also often mentioned in the writings of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and is included in the lyrics of the"National Anthem of the Republic of China".

This ideology can be reflected in the following examples:

* - National Anthem of the Republic of China

In Chinese Marxism it has been associated with the state of world communism.
