(Oneness, man-to-manness, love) Jen is an all-encompassing love for not only every other person but also of oneself. Translating the Chinese character Jen leaves us with the symbol for 'human being' and for 'two'. This translates loosely to loving others as you would love yourself, and in the West it could be best described as Confucius' golden rule. However Confucianism states the Golden Rule in the negative - "Do not do unto others what you would not want others to do unto you". *A [[diminutive]] form of the name [[Jennifer (given name)|Jennifer]]. ;Famous people with this surname *[[Chih-Kung Jen]], Chinese-American physicist *[[Mark Jen]], U.S. computer specialist ;Famous people with this given name *[[Jen Sorensen]], U.S. cartoonist *[[Jen Trynin]], U.S. singer-songwriter *[[Jen Wood]], U.S. musician *[[Jen-Hsun Huang]], U.S. businessman ;Fictional characters *[[Jen Masterson]], character on ''6teen'' *[[Jen Scotts]], Pink Time Force Ranger *[[Jen (Gelfling)]], protagonist in 1982 film ''The Dark Crystal'' ==See also== *[[Jennifer (given name)]] *[[Jenny (given name)]] *[[Jenna]] [[Category:Chinese family names]] {{Given name}} {{surname}} <!-- It does not help to add disambig or hndis tags where the page only contains people who share a given name or surname --> [[eo:JEN]] [[it:JEN]]
