Wuka Posted October 1, 2016 at 11:27 AM Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 at 11:27 AM What is the difference between those two words (品德,道德), when to use them, I would also appreciate popular examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest123 Posted October 1, 2016 at 12:17 PM Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 at 12:17 PM As far as I understand 品德 is personal moral quality, character of a particular individual, and 道德 is ethics, moral principles of a society. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuka Posted October 1, 2016 at 04:37 PM Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 at 04:37 PM Chinese friend of mine said that 道德 is for theory, while 品德 is for people. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioSilence Posted October 3, 2016 at 03:43 PM Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 at 03:43 PM 品德 is more like your personal bearing, demeanor, i.e. the "virtue of your specimen." 道德 is the underlying morality and philosophy that leads to manifestations of 品德. It can be just as individually-oriented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
