Gorin, the five relationships, are the five moral bonds of Confucian teaching. The Daijisen dictionary traces the list to the Chinese philosopher Mencius: fushi no shin, kunshin no gi, fūfu no betsu, chōyō no jo, hōyū no shin. Affection between father and son, duty between lord and retainer, distinction between husband and wife, order between elder and younger, and trust between friends.
