Independence and self-decision, as the main line of Chinese diplomacy, has been guiding the main direction of our country’s diplomacy. This thesis will attempt to link independence and self-decision with peace, and seek context in the traditional cultural thought, from the I ching to Lao Tse’s Tao Teh Ching and from the angle of geopolitics, in order to analyze independence and self-decision contained in the original natural value. New China is founded with the spirit of independence and no fear during the process of facing up with the complex international circumstances, of which the spiritual essence is between stone, but does not lie there all day, which achieves well, or in other words, the essence is striving constantly for self-improvement, because independence is not only nature but also power. Independence is formed from nature and is also the balance power in nature. Thus our independence and self-decision finds justice in the process of seeking balance, which is not only the element but the driving force of peace.Lao tze’s the heaven being great, land being also great and human beings being also great, refers to the force with rule which exists in natural opposition of independence and no change, and movement and no fatigue. This kind of force with rule is a kind of fair natural power in nature, and seeks a kind of force with natural balance on basis of regarding stopping rebels and rectifying mistakes as the original power on order to realizing peace. Human goodness is just illustrated by the self-decision, which guides human beings to form society with sequence. As a result, this kind of natural goodness is absolutely distinct from the western one with humanity. China’s geographical position produces independent national feature, a feature of mutual dependence between people based on the principle of self-decision and the survival way of benefiting others through considering others and keeping badness with modesty. At last, a kind of independent and especial international social unit system in East.The enlightment that peace and no trespass is logical relation is from I ching. Strong power, trespass and mistaking movement will lead to natural return book of change" to our enlightenment, power, trespass a move, like the universe not allowing a deviant behavior, otherwise it will be destroyed. Lao tze’s weakness being highest illustrates this natural rule, namely only weakness can beat strength, that is, Tao uses weakness. The Greek Sparta’s decline and fall illustrates this rule:tending to become strong, active, struggling and militant will lead to self-destruction while modesty and goodness can survival. Unreal emptiness is the necessary condition and the starting point of goodness, and the space rule of peace, which produce knowing and tolerant, and just, and complete, and having no mistakes. When human beings know about these rules, they create natural state and harmony. Water stands for highest goodness, whose natural structure decides height and lowness, cleans nasty in world and dissolves the desire in people’s hearts.Lao tze’s pacifism is to mix evil with goodness, namely splitting the sharp, and obtain the solution; mixing the light, and dust". Modesty between countries lead to the strong power being downstream and obtain things. Lao tze’s goodness applies simple moral to all kinds of rules and forms an ideal and well-ordered society of simple and naturally harmonious small country with few citizens. There exists oppositeness between peace and war. However, there is not so-called peace without war. Natural oppose, and readiness for the unhapening are important parts of Lao tze’s peace-idea, which is an announcement of victory with no war.The peaceful and traditional values of independence and self-decision is filled with the spirit of the Chinese national soul, and internal just and self-effacing virtue builds the world’s biggest natural peace force, which is shown in the Korean war. The world’s largest countries of the third world and one of the members in the security council shows that we are capable of obtaining human welfare for the majority of the third world. The five principles of peaceful coexistence embody the endeavor from its putting forward to practice. Our claim to establish a new international political and economic order is a state of the moral concept as a responsible country.
