This term means to treat people and things with reverence. Respect is a virtue expounded by Confucian scholars which requires people to maintain a reverential attitude towards a particular group of people or things. For example, those in a lower position should respect their superiors, and the young should respect the elder. In the context of different relationships, respect means either respectful awe or respectful love. Respect is a concrete expression of rules governing interpersonal relations laid out by norms of propriety. By maintaining a respectful attitude, a person can appreciate one's inherent meaning, awaken one's inner consciousness and maintain both self-reflection and self-control.
