大道之行也，天下为公，选贤举能，讲信修睦。故人不独亲其亲，不独子其子，使老有所终，壮有所用， 幼有所长，矜、寡、孤独、废疾者皆有所养，男有分，女有归。货恶其弃于地也，不必藏于己；力恶其不出于身也，不必为己。是故谋闭而不兴，盗窃乱贼而不作，故外户而不闭，是谓大同。

On the journey of the great road, the world is for the public, selecting talents and promoting integrity and harmony. Old people not only kiss their relatives, but also not have only children and children. They make their old age secure, their strength useful, and their youth strong. They also provide support for those who are proud, widowed, lonely, or disabled. Men have a share, while women have a return. If the goods are evil and abandoned on the ground, there is no need to hide them in oneself; Evil does not come from the body, and there is no need to do it for oneself. It is the reason why the plan is closed but not prosperous, the theft and theft are not done, and the external household is not closed, which is called Datong.

The trip to the main road is also for the public, so we should choose the best people, trust and repair. An old friend is not only close to his relatives, but also an only son and son, so that the old will have an end, the young will be useful, the young will have a strong point, and those who are ashamed, widowed, lonely and disabled will be supported. Men have points and women will return. If the goods are abandoned to the ground, there is no need to hide them in yourself; You don't have to do it for yourself. Therefore, it is called "Datong" to seek closure but not to prosper, to steal thieves and not to do it, so to leave the house without closing it.
