The Great unity (Chinese: 大同; pinyin: dàtóng) 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. In Chinese Marxism it has been associated with the state of world communism.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:
- 「三民主義，吾黨所宗，以建民國，以進大同。」(Sānmín Zhǔyì, wú dǎng suǒ zōng, yǐ jiàn Mínguó, yǐ jìn Dàtóng.) - National Anthem of the Republic of China
- 「毋自暴自棄，毋故步自封，光我民族，促進大同。」(wú zìbào zìqì, wú gùbùzìfēng, gūang wǒ mínzú, cùjìn dàtóng.) - National Banner Song of the Republic of China
