đại đồng

  1. (Chinese philosophy) Great Unity (utopian vision of the world in which everyone and everything is at peace)
    • 475 - 221 BCE, Zhuangzi - "Let It Be, Leave It Alone" ; English translation by Burton Watson; Vietnamese translation by Nguyễn Hiến Lê
      Hình hài người đó hoà đồng với vạn vật. Cái gì đại đồng thì “vô kỉ” [không có cái “ta” riêng], đã vô kỉ thì làm gì còn tồn tại [riêng] nữa? Những người mà chúng ta thấy còn tồn tại [riêng] đó chỉ là những bậc quân tử thời xưa; những người chúng ta không thấy tồn tại [riêng] nữa (nghĩa là vô danh), đó mới là bạn của trời đất
      His face and form blend with the Great Unity, the Great Unity that is selfless. Being selfless, how then can he look on possession as possession? He who fixed his eyes on possession—he was the “gentleman” of ancient times. He who fixes his eyes on nothingness—he is the true friend of Heaven and earth.
    • 1930, Đinh Nhu (attributed) (lyrics and music), “Cùng Nhau Đi Hồng Binh [Let's Go Together, Red Soldiers!]”‎performed by Huy Cường and Male and Female Singers and Dancers of the General Political Department:
      Mong thế giới đại đồng. Tiến lên quân hồng!
      May the world be grandly united! Onward, Red Army!
