This sentence means that cultivated（有教养的）people work in harmony（和谐）,but they don91 just blindly agree with what others say; common people agree easily, but they don't really work together.Imagine you are having a group discussion in class. You have a different idea from your classmates. Will you speak out or just agree with them to avoid argument? Sometimes people give up their ideas to stay in agreement with others. But is this real harmony? Confucius（孑1子）talked about this before. In his opinion, things don't have to be the same, people can keep their differences in a peaceful atmosphere（氛围）.For example, in a chorus（合唱）, different voices-high and low-together make harmonious singing, thafs real harmony.China welcomed the idea of "harmony in diversity（和而不同）thousands of years ago. Even before Confucius, Yan Ying of the Spring and Autumn Period first talked about the idea. Today, President Xi Jinping calls on people to communicate equally（平等地）,learn from each other, and make progress together, so we can give something good to the whole world.21. Do cultivated people agree blindly?22. Why do some people give up their ideas so easily sometimes?23. What's real harmony according to Confucius?24
